She's been baptized! Weekend before last I took her down to central Ohio and promptly buried her up the axles in mud! I was promptly pulled out by my friends from TireTown. (Thanks again guys!) We spent all day driving in and out and through a creek bed. Got stuck about 5 times and came away with only a few scrapes in the paint. The only real damage was the loss of the radio antenna. Over all we (Jen and I) had a great time. (Jen says she would do it again in a minute!) Check out all the pictures here!
