Default Rossi flipped his jeep over at walker today april 29th

So the new mud pit at walker had it in for me today ,i was rollin up to the express way with oxen when we came apon the ever growing mod pit allready filled with other fellow cherokees 4 of them all in the mid pit . I was able to pull one out of the deep mud hole, and he made it over on the right side then I was up next I thought the far left and climb the side ,WRONG. I flipped right over in slow motion in front of all these other cherokee guys im pretty sure that one of them could have grab the jeep from flipping over, so the rollover happen slowly and I almost ended up on the wife and dog, which was now pressed against the window on the mud side, I quickly turned off the ignition and grab the oh crap handles and started making my way up through my window, of course leaving my dog and wife behind, so by now me an oxen were adopted by this other cherokee group, thay helped me flip back over, oxen grabbed a line from my rear spring and pulled me upright with his jeep , we then chained the jeep to a stump, as I drove back to take another line in the middle of the left side, I first tried it slow then I gunned it and broke my rear passenger side axle leaving me 1 and a half wheel drive for the rest of the day so I ended up using my winch to make it over and by strapping everybody over we made it through that part of the trail, carried on almost 80 percent the trails today what is very impressed with the 1 and a half wheel drive I have, no worries I will be locked up in the rear ready for camp elbe.... anybody else out there that was up there today please post

that frigen hole was deep. and i got my axle hooked on some thing down in that muck. so i too had a to take a strap for the 2nd time ever

i watched rossie roll. it was pretty slow and gentle. im sure the 12+ inches of mud made for a pretty soft impact. his rig just got a nice coating of mud on one side . i tipped his rig back up and we went for the rest of the day. his jeep is a gladiator

HAHA.....nothing like a nice mud pit and plenty of war stories about it to put Walker Valley on the map. Anybody from outside the local area who wants to come give our little mud pit a try just post up. I'll show you around Walker.

I'm thinking the mud pit is a good place for a jeep shake down. Let's just hope it keeps getting bigger by next weekend.
