FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Cow Mountain this weekend

We're going to be in Little River just below Mendocino at a wine event this weekend and have all day Saturday free. Anybody gonna be up that way for a little trail run? Not all day but half the day would be cool.

If your gonna be up that way, let's run.

VERY HOT and dusty but what a cool place, we only got to do a couple of trails as the first one we did ultimately ended up a dead end. However, for the two 16 year old from Moraga, we were a godsend down that trail. We were within about a mile of the end and from around a corner popped up these 2 kids asking if we had a winch, god they were happy. Seems they hit the end of the trail, turned around and as they got to the top of the ramp something told them momentum would get them thru the gully you had to cross. Well, all momentum was good for was a big bounce to send them over the edge to come to rest in the bushes at about a 35 to 40 degree angle, drivers side down hill, looked way scary to be in the Jeep.
We hooked them up and with much burnt rubber they were free again and very happy. When we came upon them they were walking out to go call one of their dads to make the 2.5 hour trip up to pull them out, that would have sucked.

We went down to the water and the wife ended up driving out and took the same obstacle with with ease, I wanted to send the kids the video to show 'em how a girl did it but she wouldn't let me.

She ended up driving the rest of the day, did one more big loop and it was back to Little River for a stellar wine event dinner.

So a great day out and she's just itchin' to go again, soon.

I'll see if I can edit it but it was on a GoGpro camera and it was pretty far away and I don't know much about video but I'll give it a go.

Stay tuned.
