Storm assures me that Flat Iron Mesa Trail offers a bypass around each of its multiple terrifying obstacles. You might think that such assurances would be comforting. Before you jump to that conclusion, you should note that men define “bypass” differently than women.
Definition of a Bypass
A woman assumes that if there is a bypass, her husband will use that alternate route to avoid traveling over a steep, off kilter, rocky, narrow, cliffhanging, bone jarring section of the trail. A man defines an obstacle as a ploy to be used to lure your wife onto a “red” trail that she would otherwise avoid at all costs. Once at the bypass, the husband will scoff at the wife’s concerns and announce “this is not anything, I can handle this with both hands off the wheel.” At that point the wise wife departs the vehicle claiming the need to take videos/photos and takes the bypass on foot!
Flat Iron Mesa Outcome
Like so many adventures that I hate until I survive them, Flat Iron Mesa Trail was “fun.” Relive with me this exciting journey as Storm tests the limits of driver and vehicular abilities. In fairness Storm did take the bypass on the “Tilt-a-whirl” obstacle but has remarked at least once a day since then that if I hadn’t been so scared he is SURE he could have made it.
I would suggest that you send some of these videos to JEEP, they just might give you a new one every now and then to advertise for them the things that it can do. MERCY. I love you guys to death, you know that, but sometimes Charlie just worries the heck out of me. :>) Glad you made the challenge OK and are around to share it with us. Be careful out there. GOD BLESSJDJim
I see you cheated death once again. It will not be long before you will be urging Storm to install a six inch lift kit and forty inch tires so you can do Pritchett Canyon (9+ rating). ?
I expect that to happen any day now. Wait until I post the Crystal Geyser ride next week. Wheels in the air kinda ride!
He used to worry me too, but I am starting to get used to some of the crazy rides. Now I worry about me!?
