Title: Drive to Our Cabin Through the Forest
Post by: MountainDon on June 25, 2011, 12:25:35 AM
Last week on the day of my doctor appointment my Flip HD Video pocket size camera arrived. What better thing as a first project than to record the drive on the forest road to the cabin. At least I couldn't think of anything better to do and it was more fun than reflecting on the doctor visit.  :D

So here it is. I cut a few sections out to make it fit into the 10 minute photobucket rule. And I had to reduce file size / quality so it could upload in less than a day. And I forgot to fade or flip or whatever at the cuts so they are simple rough cuts except for the final where I joined two separate files. It is just under 10 minutes; be warned. My Jeep doesn't seem that noisy inside when I drive, but on the other hand it is no cushy boulevard cruiser and the forest road is gravel or plain dirt and sees a minimal amount of maintenance.

I also note that I should clean the windshield before trying that again. Click image to start in photobucket.

Nice video :)  And your jeep sounds about like mine bu maybe a little quieter!  Perhaps my Banks header and flowmasters along with Rusty's TB spacer and K&N don't help.

Did you say you had 4.5" of lift?

Your windshield looks like mine  :D  Nice to be able to see the terrain & your nice looking cabin & site.  Lots of trees!  BTW, how much rain did you get this past season?

We have not had any recordable amount of rain yet this year. The snow was short quite a bit too. The forest is locked down as of Friday. We landowners can access our properties with our keys
