Awesome day Sunday, Thanks to Bigrig and Dhuck for the support and guidance. Learned allot !
Cant wait to see all the photos.
Waiting for the Pics and stories
still waitin waitin waitin.....................and waitin even more
I can only comment on a few hours for Sunday. So here is a quick view
My first time a the park and as I left the office after paying I was already feeling the vibe of the day.
A notice on the front door read "www.NISSANPATROL.com.au moved to Trakka Camp use channel 11"
I rounded the corner and noted two groups of tents, which one ? Ask the CB :)
no answer- hmm. I'll stop and let these mean looking beasts past. Then I noted this big guy waving at me.
F!! off, I've stopped out of the way I thought. He wiggled his arms around - are you stopping or move or something... Over he drives.
"You alright he yells!"
"Yep just look for my group"
Well I found them and I was parked across the road where they needed to turn (heheheh)
I was told to dump my stuff near the tents as they will wait for me. I pulled up at the rear of the convoy and radioed "all good" still no reply. I could see others talking on the UHF. Dam I hope my CB is not broke already.
Nope Wrong channel. (dam office had it wrong)
So we headed off the the "pig pen" after 2 creek crossings, nothing too deep 1/2 up the door and a few words of praise from the wife ;) , and a woot from the kids. The Pig pen is just that MUD.
Dhuck showed us how to get dirty and the power of his mighty patrol, followed by BigRig.
I chickened out, after a look from the wife. "wait till the car is a few months old" winge winge (lucky she does not look on here )
Adam was the first one to go it solo up around the corner and ended up stuck. Dhuck was on it like .. well a duck on water. Snap stratched out, opened his door to let the water out, don't think he liked swimming and driving ;)
Back to camp to grab some food and off again.
This time we were going up a RED trail, bit of ruff stuff - that it was. Allot of wheel flex, tight turns, and rocks. My son started to cry the wife saying word of wisdom as the car leaned and rocked near a straight drop down on the left. But we all made it up. Now just had to get down. :)
All in all, I found it was a fun day and was great meet up.
Thanks for the writeup. Now for the Pics
Thanks to all for a great day out. Jack loved it apart from the bits he was waiting to get going. I was suprised just how far you can get with a pretty standard car. i tried to post some pics but cant seem to get it to work. i will try again later.
