Erie Shores Jeeps & 4x4s 

 

Butler, Ohio - March 15th, 2003

It was a great day for a trail ride, but Jim had transmission problems on the ride out and had to become a passenger for the day.  We were joined by members of Ohio Valley Trail Riders from Wooster, Ohio.  The warm spell made the river too fast and high to pass, and made the trails we did ride very slick and muddy.

Dave had no problem making it to the plateau and then got into position to winch the others that would need help.

Mike made it up also, but some sliding sideways made the way down interesting.
