Here’s some pics after I de-blinged it today

I picked some parts up from the dealer I bought it from today…they promised me to replace a few things that were broken or missing

After replacing those, I moved on to the de-chrome phase

Also got rid of those FX4 stickers

Finally I got rid of the very dark tint on the front windows. Not only do I not want to get pulled over…..I couldn’t see out of them at night

the leftovers

I think it looks much better

Goodbye Expedition….

Found a great deal on this 2003 F-350 Super Duty Crew Cab 4×4 DRW. It needs a little work cosmetically (plus removing the chrome stuff and hood scoops), but runs and drives great. It’s got the 7.3 PowerStroke with only 80,000 miles on it….so it still has 20k left on the power train warranty

As always, here’s a few pictures

Finally went back and got this cache on Wednesday evening with Amanda….

We had started this multi-cache a few weeks ago (since it is right near my house) but we didn’t finish it at the time. Here’s a few pics from the park it is located at.

Log needs to be replaced

Just wanted to share this picture I took of Brian over the weekend at McCaslin Mountain. It’s one of my favorites

Figured that since I was in Wisconsin, I may as well do a little geocaching in the area. Here’s a few pictures from my adventures, since these caches brought me to some interesting places.

One of the caches led me to this very cool waterfall

Here’s a map of the track I kept on my GPS during our Saturday run on McCaslin Mountain. Unfortunately, the satellite images Google Earth has of that area are not the greatest. Click on the image for a bigger one.

Earlier today I went off on my own and did some exploring and geocaching in the Nicolet National Forest (I’ll post another thread with my geocaching pictures from the weekend later)

i took a bunch of 2 tracks

some not very well travelled

road closed……this is where a tornado blew through a few months back…..guess cleanup is going slow…..time to find another way around

On Saturday, we had a few more MWC members show up and we ran a bunch of trails on McCaslin Mountain……even had a surprise visit by Brad in his new buggy

McCaslin Mountain Lookout

Group Shot

After running The Pipeline and heading back to the campground, we met up with a few guys from TIJA and took a short trail run down Machetti on McCaslin Mountain to play on some rocks on McCaslin Mountain

found some deep water on the way….

some rocks…

I met up with Kim on Friday morning and we quickly ran through The Pipeline in my Jeep since it wasn’t very far from McCaslin Mountain Campground.

Lucky for us, the colors had already started to change

rocky climb

in case you were wondering how the trail got it’s name…

some leafs turning a nice red

help keeping the trail open
