Thanks for sharing. That Potts Mountain Jeep trail looked pretty cool. How long did it take to run it?

We did it at a very leisurely pace and ran it in about 4 hours.

Here are the last 2 of the potts portion. More to come later.

Sugar we have a couple more videos left of the trip.

It has taken a long time to weed through all of the footage and edit it down into 10 minute pieces. And we are definitely not professional filmmakers so you can some of the edits are rough.

I'm glad you have enjoyed what we posted so far.

We're going to do another similar trip next spring and I'm hoping we can do a little better on the footage but it is kind of hard to film and have a good time

Thanks for the invite I would love to come down but I leave tomorrow night to head back to Ivy branch in my side by side.

I have one more trip planned up to Wellsville this year in the Bronco and then I'm going to tear the front suspension out of it and give it a rework as you can tell by this video It Doesn't perform like it should

Well we are now on to getting the videos done from the 2018 Adventure which we dubbed the daimond Adventure

Well we did this trip back in May of 2018 and we're getting ready to head out in a couple of months for our next week long adventure just now getting around to tossing some videos together bear with us as it's not the most exciting footage because not every day of a week-long trip is super duper exciting but here it is stay tuned for more.
