Super weekend. This is Guy (Brew on the forum), desert orange H3X.
On behalf of my wife, I must congratulate Tony, Kevin, Derek for the fantastic organisation, the advice, friendship, ... I was a definite pleasure to meet everybody. Thanks for all of those who made the trip from Ontario.
I participated in the off road event only (Sunday). Heck, I had never even driven a 4X4 before 6 weeks ago when I bought my Hummer. I learned a lot. Shoot, I drove most of the day on regular 4X4. I didn't read my bloody manual, and hell if I knew that you had to put it in neutral BEFORE engaging 4 lock down. HaHaHa. Green behind the ears. Any greener than that, you drive a Lada or a Smart.
Driving off-road is sooooo much easier when you do engage 4 down lock. Now I have the bug. I'll need air lockers, bad ass tires, diff protection, blabla bla.
You are a great bunch of guys (and gals). Hats off. Your a tight knit community (just like my hiking club/friends).
By the way, I have had no time to view or publish any photos or videos. I slept only a couple of hours, left at 3:00 AM Monday morning, drove 3 hours south in New York and did a crazy 14 hour, 31 km, 5 summits over 4000 feet mountain hike with a buddy. I came back home 23 hours later (this morning). I drove my Hummer and my hiking buddy was greatly impressed with the highway ride of my H3 and the vehicle as a whole. He will blab about it on hiking forums and this will further inform people that Hummers do not deserve the bad name that most non-hummer drivers have about it.
I also enjoyed beeing a passenger in Tom's H1 for the last part of the day. Forget about the 'line'. Just drive right through it or over it.
