Fortunately, I can resist.  I just happen to have an excellent picture of "the infamous shovel," but I've gotten in trouble for posting stuff like that before. 

Not sure exactly what you mean by getting in trouble but if you have a "plan B" photo you would like to post I don't have a problem with that.

Yes, if we don't like your shovel post we will just move it to The Island of Misfit Posts.

Azusa Off Road Park - SCCX Day 8/25/12

Personally I think it's a very handy trail shovel. I think it's a heck of a lot better than no shovel

FrankB things like this are very common in this area.  Knuckleheads that don't know what they are doing push their cars to the limit and beyond.  We rolled up to this FJ while a couple of trucks were trying the wriong way to pull him out.  They strapped to the brush guard first and when it started to come off they re-strapped.  They were using straps and a chain, the trucks trying to pull him out were in reverse by choice because "reverse is a lower gear", too many people standing too close, oh and the trucks weren't

even pulling at the same time.  It was like they were competing against each other not trying to work together.  We left before it was rescued and in the end we heard it took 4 trucks to get this FJ out of the mud.

Definitely amateurs,  if you go up on Sunday you'll see some well orchestrated recoveries like the four rigs it took to pull me out on Sun.

Definitely true

Yeah, I deleted the picture since it reminded me too much of the first time I met up with the club with an even smaller shovel

It was great having your group out there and hopefully you'll do it again soon. Your donation was greatly appreciated and turned over to Mike Bishop ACORA president. I'd love to see more pics and hope you could post on our website as well.

Hey Ron, I'll post some pics on the ACORA website hopefully this weekend.  I still need to figure out which photos to post though.  Once I have time to browse around on your site, I will probably get a better idea.  Your organization certainly deserves our support for creating this play area for all to use, while still preserving the natural habitat of the area.  Thanks again for the good work you do.

Thank you. The only things I discourage would be pictures of a rig losing fluid because it would create a harmful image of what could be left behind. That goes for any off road forum.

Oh crap, is that at the Azusa OHV park where that truck got stuck?!

If you're talking about the mud pictures then yes that's up in the Azusa OHV park

[RockinX]

This is what the "before" pictures would have looked like.  

[BrO-J]

Doesn't even look like the same truck.

A little belated, but I was finally able to get some pics up on the ACORA website.  They have everything in the OHV area ... rocks, hill climbs, sand, water crossings and MUD!  I look forward to the next trip out there and I promise I won't take as many pictures next time.     http://acorausa.com/forum/index.php?topic=3381.0
