It's one of the best ways to spend a weekend. We grilled beer brats at the top of the hill in the last photo, and then wheeled around for the rest of the day.

Went on another run up a rather large cliff yesterday. It was my Jeep and my friends Chevy Tracker. His car didn't fair too well.

Went to the sand dunes out in Silver Lake, MI last weekend. It was one heck of a time! If anybody has ever been out there, you know how much of a blast it is. If not, Google it and you'll see. I also jumped the Jeep for the first time (albeit, unintentionally). Had all four off the ground by about a foot. Luckily I didn't break anything. I never though hauling ass across the sand could be so much fun, but there was a surprising amount of variety in the terrain out there. Including some water, which is always fun to play around in. I only got a few pictures, since I was driving most of the time.

He couldn't easily make it up the tallest hills because his carb starves the engine of fuel on any sort of incline

Sand driving is an absolute blast. Looks like a great day for it too.

Yeah, we really lucked out that weekend... there was a 50 percent chance of rain for the entire weekend, yet the weather was just about perfect!

Looks like paintings or cartoons...you might want to be a little more subtle with it.
