Jeep Trip 6 -- Mark Twain National Forest near Potosi, MO

Mar 21, 1999

Brought my brother, Steve, along. He was assigned picture-taking detail, and he did get several good pictures before cutting his hand and needing a run to the hospital for stitches. We hit the trail again after the stitches were done, but we didn't get any more pictures, and we never did catch back up with the group...

Didn't get stuck, but spun the tires most of the way through. I got the impression some thought this a little reckless... I didn't really hit it that hard, just had to keep my momentum going...
See, no problem!
Down the hill in the power cut...

But not quite all the way back up. This is the same hill as the previous photo. No matter how I took this, I just couldn't make it past a certain point. Locker, or heavier-lugged tires would have helped.

The second photo shows just about how far I got back up. You can also see my brother, probably right as he was taking the first picture, preparing to slash the hell out of his hand. I think he's waiting to get the picture first, then he can bleed all over my camera...
