Hi All have not been here for a while. We are "officially" not wheeling, anymore, because we are expecting a baby soon, but we still are making some easy trips. This year Labor Day we visited the Lamoille Canyon in Nevada: Trip Report Video link

Nice pics. That's one of those places you look at and wonder how people lived/settled there 150 years ago. Of course others called it home waaaaaay before that.
Bet that guy in the Ford was happy for some company with a tow strap. Did he just sink in a big mud hole?

Did he just sink in a big mud hole? there is no direct way between the trail and the hot springs - you must go around a little. But the guy wanted to return back to the trail from the hot springs in a short way, directly, across the soft muddy terrain. His front end immediately sunk and this is what saved him - if he would drive 10 feet further, I doubt that we would be able to pull him out of the clay mud.

Thank you, Bruno and Michael !
By the way, Bruno, the towing point that I am using on the video is on the hitch that you welded <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I did not want to use it initially, I was going to attach the rope to the frame hook, but the guy suggested the tow hitch - because "they make it very strong". Well, the guy did not recognize that this is a home-made hitch. "You asked for this" and I gave it a try and the hitch hold very well, no problems ! So, the welding is really strong, thank you very much.
I hope to see you guys on the trails in a few months <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nice report Oleg and congrats on your new addition. PS. Invest in a diaper genie original model unless you like the smell of baby poo. :-)
