Adventures of the Redbull and the Mighty Max

The adventure started out innocently enough, we were just trying out the new and improved RedBull on Sunday afternoon. Then Jon called his friend Chris, owner of The Mighty Max, and Chris told Jon about this cool trail to go on. So we went on the trail over by Chris' house. We were going along, having fun, until we got stuck!












And boy were we STUCK! So Jon called Chris to pull us out of the mud...and about a half hour later, Chris showed up to save the day in The Mighty Max. But, as he was trying to pull up a hill to get in front of us, he got STUCK!



Jon and Chris worked on trying to get The Mighty Max out for another half or so and finally called Chris' buddy Devan. So Devan shows up in his truck with a tow chain, and after some work, he got The Mighty Max pulled of the side of the hill. He then proceeded to race the Max up over the hill, nearly getting stuck again in the process. That dude Devan is CRAZY! Once he was over the hill in front of us, he pulled The RedBull out and then went back home.
Jon and Chris then decided we should continue on up the trail. So we went along further, no problems, having fun, until we saw another muddy spot. The men got out of the trucks to check out the situation and thought it'd be passable. Jon told Chris to go first and if he made it then we'd go too. Well, Chris took off like a rocket and got most of the was across, but just didn't quite make it. He got sucked into the mud and in the process of trying to get out, got himself even more stuck...


We didn't have a long enough tow rope to pull him back out. So Jon took us down a side trail, to try to get around on the other side of Chris, but the trail ended right where Chris was stuck. When we took the side trail, it led us back out to the highway. We couldn't cross back over though, because there was a river next to the road....Long story short, we ended up going to Devan's house to pick him up and his tow chain. By the time we got back to Chris, it was dark. We backed in as close as we could get behind The Mighty Max without getting stuck ourselves, but in the process of trying to tow Chris out, we did end up getting stuck as well...In the end, Chris had to call another one of his buddies, Jerry, to come and get us both out of the mud pit. Thank goodness he got us out...We started our adventure at 4pm and didn't get home until after 10pm...All in All, it was a fun time. Jon, Chris and Devan all got a little muddy...I only got a picture of Jon though...


I think that'll be the last time we go Off-Roading on Conference Sunday. I'm sure you all remember two years ago in Arizona when we went Off-Roading on Conference Sunday and got stuck then too..That time though, the Olsen's rescued us. So lesson learned...no Off-Roading adventures on Sunday!! Jon is going back out to play again today with Chris and he's taking the Guy who gave us The RedBull out with them...I'm glad I'm not going!
