Patricks Pit We call this obstacle Patricks Pit. Originally it was a large
eroded washout that no one would have ever thought of trying to drive through, but one day we
proceeded past it and crossed the creek and the last to come to the pit was Patrick
Scranton in his brand new 1996 white open top.. He didn't notice the pit was so deep from
the top and proceeded down it by mistake! He called me on his CB and said "Hey Eddie,
I think I made a wrong turn".. I though OH NO! We went over there to see what
happened and Patrick was in an awful fix! I was contemplating the best way to position
the multiple winches I knew it would take to pull him out when Patrick asked me if he
should try to drive on through the pit!.... Uh, Gee, Uh.. Sure give it a try! Patrick did
try and with me coaching him on the BTM he made it through with no damage! WOW.. Since
then Patrick has been fearless with his new truck! Lee Fikes with the famous TANVEE playing in the pit.
This is Patrick, going down and back up!
Bob coming down the pit in his white wagon! Gerald Luiz coming down the pit with his plum(b) opentop
Gerald Luiz doing the BTM thing, one of the locals standing behind me mentioned something about "he will never make it he is standing on the brakes!" A few seconds later the same guys said "WOW"
Gerald Luiz
This sequence is me going down the pit. it is a pretty steep kinda violent and twisty ride, without the BTM or lockers there would be no way to do it.
Gerald Playing in the Pit. This is serious FUN!
