This started out to be a visit to Paragon to
check out a little used section of the property and
turned out to be a
challenging and enjoyable day. We met in the morning at the blue vomit and got
underway to the trail-head. There we prepared our vehicles (disconnect sway bars,
hubs, air-down, etc..) and set out. The beginning was mostly a dirt road with a few
puddles, but we soon arrived at an off-camber rock ledge. We all made without
incident, Chris was hoping to try his new tree
sliders
(sorry). I was pretty excited about this trip because I just finished installing a
T-18 into my CJ and wanted to test it out. Needless to say by first somewhat
difficult spot I was able to creep down with control and finesse I quickly discovered the
advantage of lower gears. The rest of the day was full of new discoveries and
challenges. I smacked a fender on a rock in the water, luckily the fiberglass fender
bent in and popped back out and I only suffered some chipped paint. Chris wrote a
great story about the rest of our day. Check it out on the OK web site under recent
events. (Click-Here) Meanwhile take a peek at
some of the pictures below.
