All of our stuff ran great. The Grizz did die on me unexpectedly at a water crossing. I hit the crossing fairly hard and figured I sucked some steam into the intake. The water was nowhere near high enough to have entered the intake. After a couple restarts, it ran like a top again. Also, my left brake handle would go soft from time to time. I noticed it was usually after hitting a jump and getting a little air. The rzr did well also. I did notice (today) while taking my kids for a ride that the steering wheel is off a little. I’m thinking it has an alignment issue. I’ll get under there and check things over before I correct the alignment. I was supposed to ride with my wife on Sunday but unfortunately, it didn’t happen due to the weather. I guess the next day trip will be a rzr day for me.
I was hoping to get more riding in but we did get about 160 miles logged. I was hoping for about 250. I shot video pretty much the entire time we were out (2 and 3/4ish 64gig cards) and will get some posted up as soon as I can. I know that’s a lot of video to sort through but I did that on purpose as I’ll be off work for another 6 to 8 weeks after carpel tunnel surgery. I figured that would be a great opportunity to learn to edit video.
We also bought the Ozark Trail 72 qt cooler before we left. We gave it a workout on this trip. The jury is still out. They claim it holds ice for 9 days. Of course, we were in and out of it 30+ times a day and we had to add ice each day. I’m planning to test it full of ice in my warm garage and see if their claims are true. We’ll see.
Here’s some pics…

This post may be a work in progress…. Several of my pics were taken on the action cam. More to come.
