The Great Outdoor Adventure: A Day of Triumph and Tribulation

Our day began with a trip to the Flintstone house, which proved to be quite an adventure. We set off early, but the journey was not without its challenges. The road was long and winding, and it took us a while to reach our destination. However, we were determined to make the most of our outing and didn't let the distance deter us. As we approached the Flintstone house, we had to be careful due to the cold weather and lack of jackets. We managed to squeeze in just enough time to visit the house before moving on to our next stop.

Our second destination was the recreation area, where we encountered a few issues with our vehicle. The tire was damaged, and we had to make an emergency stop. However, this minor setback didn't deter us from continuing our adventure. We took a short break to cool off and assess the situation. It became clear that we needed to find a way to get our vehicle moving again.

One of the challenges we faced was getting back into four-wheel drive mode. The problem was that the front differential was also locked, making it difficult to switch gears. After some tinkering, we managed to remove one of the wheels and hold it in place while spinning the other wheel. This allowed us to get a better sense of what was going on with our vehicle.

However, this temporary fix only led to further complications. The shaft that held everything together had become smashed between the lower and upper components, making it difficult to move forward. We realized that we needed to find a way to repair or replace the damaged part if we wanted to continue our journey. Luckily, we were able to locate some grease on the shaft, which helped us get it moving again.

Despite these challenges, we persevered and managed to get our vehicle back on the road. We took the opportunity to test our brakes and steering wheel, making sure that everything was in working order. Our adventure had not been without its difficulties, but we were determined to see it through.

As we continued on our journey, we encountered another obstacle: a dog that had managed to get its head stuck in a plastic bag. We were able to carefully extract the dog and free it from the bag, much to the relief of its owners. It was clear that our adventure was not just about the vehicle, but also about the people and animals involved.

Finally, we arrived at the parking lot at W's Carell, where we would drop off our side-by-side and follow the rest of the group to Dixie Springs. As we loaded up our vehicle, we couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that our adventure had come to an end. Despite the challenges we faced, we had made it through and were ready to head home. Our experience was a testament to the power of perseverance and determination, even in the face of adversity.

As we looked back on our day, we couldn't help but laugh at some of the more humorous moments. From the grease-covered hoodie to the dog stuck in a plastic bag, there were plenty of memorable moments to cherish. Our adventure may have been filled with challenges, but it was also filled with joy and camaraderie. And as we drove away from Dixie Springs, we knew that we would always treasure the memories of our great outdoor adventure.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enuhoh so we got a couple calls out to San Hollow today so the first one we've got to get is a fiberglass dune buggy like a classic one from back in the day it's like it has a wheel broke off from it so we're going to head up and see if we can get it back to safety they're about halfway up the water tank Road after we get them taken care of we got to drive all the way back to the Flintstone house we got to pick up I think it's a razor with a wheel broken off that's so we'll go get and we have the ever lovely Jamie with the weather today like 63° when the sun pops out it feels a little closer to 70 though we've got r on the back with peanut and we'll get them out let's see what do we got here this thing's cool yeah look like that spindle snapped right off of there we got some wires bunch of wires running right through here so I think we can just go right around right here R and then we'll see where they line up on this kind of stuff we don't want to then we don't want to risk hitting the lights or anything yeah have you got brakes no still of any sort no brakes okay there we go all right so they said there's no brakes on this so we're trying to rig this up to uh prevent prevent from slamming into the back I hope so we'll know in a minute we'll get we'll uh we might need to put another short one on like replace that one with this short one but we'll know in a minute okay we're just going to pull this up on some level ground and just see see what it does okay okay let's just take it easy for a second see what happens good thing about brakes nobody really needs to be in it for this yeah but you might want to just for a seat I think you might want a shorter one on that side yeah I think that one's just a little bit long think it's dog walking a little bitos it'll equalize out okay looks like we're good to go HP Jamie I can't just hop I have to use the seat belt to get in so we're taking this down to W's Carrell some people call it the water tank parking lot whatever that's where we're going we're going to go drop it off then turn back around and head out to the Flintstone house coming right along oh so I just barely got back from an overnight snow kick camping trip with the youth group took the bombie out there did little test driving in the snow in extreme cold we should put the heater in that thing that is all I know we get a lot of comments about why don't we put the the sling or whatever the triangle of of stiffness that you see on records they've been doing it for 100 years the answer is we wouldn't be able to use it very much most most Vehicles wouldn't be equipped for us to hook them up that way and then even if we could it we wouldn't be able to use it on most of the trails because of the vertical changes doesn't work yet doesn't work yet I okay R you're just going to make sure that this stays the way it's supposed to be okay this is going to be tricky R this is yours just watch watch that okay Jamie you're my communication thre right now okay keep going everything looks good right now stop for stop rep okay relax it rep relax it a little up okay we're going to get these out of the way I'm just going to back up for a second here little bit further I have go the other way okay stop okay I think what we need to do now is just pull it back a little farther right yeah and we need to so let's get this tire on strap yeah's good okay you get my picture on are you okay with sit on there okay all right well we got another one out by the Flint all right man you guys are Lifesavers really appreciate it thanks buddy oh I was just talking to your mom and she says it's okay if you come to the off-road games you can get your tickets right now all right that's one down one more to go unless another call comes in I hope that we get dinner tonight I think Matt deserves to take me out for this I do deserve that or I deserve it is that what is supposed to be Brent didn't want to ride on the back we have quite a ways to get over to the Flintstone house but he's being nice it got a little cold and I don't have a jacket so we just crammed in here it's a little squishy it's got to be that one right yeah is the red one red one red one we'll just say that's good enough right there for now ow I know we should have made the recer an extra cab but that wouldn't have worked cuz that would have made it longer than it is and it's already this much too long oh my goodness upper a yeah yeah and it shredded that CV where are you guys out of I down here in s Hollow but okay down here in Dixie Springs there you should have brakes test your Brak yeah they're there that tire up or no yeah we'll probably yeah we should put a strap on it oh man it looks so much worse the Y all right let's figure this out cuz if we can keep this together that would be good got a good spot there okay that's pretty stable right there are you cooling off pean it that'll be good right there yeah you could have left that low for him get in okay Rett so just keep from hitting this plastic you're not in four-wheel drive anymore right start it up okay rat I've got you on the I'm just going to leave you right there I'm not going to suck you up at all his back wheels aren't spinning put him in Reverse I I on the gas for to spin say that again I have to be in gearing on the gas put in Reverse spin give it back back okay stop put them in neutral yeah you tell me it won't roll it was not it was not rolling it was skidding they're rolling now that is so weird look what I just found in the dirt and I don't think it's ours I'll just take take it home and see if it works you're just kidding uhoh what could possibly be doing this so if we put it in reverse it will it'll go okay a little bit more red I want to see it do more than just that was trying toin thewheel drive that's Drive what's happening is it says it's out of four-wheel drive but it's not and the front differential is also locked so what we're going to try to do if we've got the key for this we're going to pull this wheel off so we don't have this big Mass rotating and then we can just hold it up and we can let it spin as much as it wants all right there's one you got it broke it that is that only that one that was tight that one kind of tight you're going to owe me a new sweater oh why what happened he's got grease all over it oh here you go that was my brand new hoodie dad put me to work can you put a little pressure on this right but think about how warm I am yeah so this is what holds everything up right here that's where the spring is so the problem is is this is this shaft is now smashed between the lower and the upper so we've got to figure out something it'd be great if we could get that through there but I don't know okay it did it it's got grease on there so it should just yeah it slipped right through huh drive it in we'll just go around out here and we'll just put it through here and that will keep in theory keep everything kind of aligned we're going to have some greasy soft Shackles by the time we're done usually when these CV joints explode they're kind of of no consequence this one got everywhere there we go okay so that's free of everything now we just got to keep this from rotating the last piece of this puzzle something take a sh okay that should be good that should just spin freely now steering wheel wise don't move it from that position it working yeah I don't know why we bring these dogs we love those dogs we do love them but they make it hard to work sometimes worth it I trained a kid in my lap for a peanut in my lap we're here at the parking lot at W's Carell I'm going to hop in the roll back and follow these guys to Dixie Springs so we can drop the side by side off okay what are you doing we're backing it in backing it in okay I'll let you do with the greasy side it is greasy that's yeah cuz you got my hoodie on there you go thank you where' the little man go yeah thanks I don't have anything quite your size but I'll give you the smallest one I have nice bu well that's how we finished today off we started out up on the m Mountain doing bombie stuff and we ended up at the hurricane sand dunes doing recovery stuff thanks for watching that was three pointsuhoh so we got a couple calls out to San Hollow today so the first one we've got to get is a
