These are some pictures from Tour De Rocks (TDR) in Washington, NH. TDR is a wheeling event that challenges the competitors to journey through a variety of different trails, each worth varying amounts of points each. The event is timed and the team that scores the highest within the shortest time wins. Needless to say my brother and I did not win, we were surprised we even made it there! We had spent the previous night finishing up many of the individual parts of the Jeep just so we could get it running and functioning. The tires were borrowed from a friend and the motor was on borrowed time (bad rod bearing). We actually completed quite a few trails before we blew a front u-joint and had to be towed out. In the process of getting towed both front springs were broken. The Unimog almost flipped over trying to get us out.
