This turkey can trot...

Black Friday Cheryl and I went North to test the Jeeps off road prowess with my Jeep club's first annual Turkey Trot.
The recent snow fall had me concerned as the Jeep is only on 28" all season sneakers and, well, short compared to many of the built up Jeeps in the club.  We played follow the leader and drove some unmaintained class VI roads in Southern NH.
We held the group up for about a half hour when the Jeep couldn't climb a snowy, slippery ledge.  A committee immediately convened and the problem was solved, we were on our way.
Tow strap committee

We were on our way, or so we thought....
 
We ultimately needed a tow for the next 100 yards through a steep rocky section of trail.  The Jeep sacrificed a plastic center hub cap but otherwise survived unscathed.
