Tahuya 10/20

I'm gonna play at Tahuya with some guys tomorrow morning. I won't have my FJ, but I will have my Jeep and some other Yota guys are gonna go. It looks like it should be a nice muddy mess. If you're interested, drop me a PM and I'll send you my cell # and/or a ham radio freq.

Have fun and post pics, I have a previous engagement I cannot get out of. It ought to be nice and sloppy up there.

It was a good time, even though we didn't even get to run the whole loop. One of the guys I was wheeling with decided to try and turn his rig into a PT Boat or Submarine or something and hydrolocked his engine. Pics to come.

I am soooo bumed out lol i dint see this post untill today, are you going out next weekend?

It started out fine... Me in my Jeep and three Toyota 4 Runners. (Not an FJ to be seen! For shame!)

Yeah...it was raining and there was mud galore. Tayhua isn't a really hardcore spot to wheel, so it was fine for me in the Jeep which isn't locked, and for the Yota guys who were mostly 2 wheel drive.

Then we came to the water.

You know you're in trouble when your rig is creating a bow wave.

We climbed a hill or two...

Then Chris wanted to double back and hit the water again. (He was driving the red rig...)

And here's the result.

Why did he have to get towed out?? One of these days I will make it back out there!!!

Reiter is closer for me. But Tahuya is fun with a few rigs.

He hydrolocked his engine. Bad. Very bad.

Yikes, that does sound nasty:

Hydrolock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I guess any time the words "engine" and "lock" appear in the same sentence, it's likely a Bad Thing(tm).

I knew that darker 4Runner looked familiar I have pictures of when he hydrolocked his engine on a run last March, in the exact same "pond" I believe? Fearless, poor guy, but they were able to get it back up and running and drive out.

Tahuya is famous for locked up engines. If I had a nickel for every story of someone locking thier motor up there, I'd be a rich man?
