On Saturday, Brad and I attended a Land Rover rally hosted by the ROVERS club at Spruce Cabin Camp near Canadensis, PA. We came up for a day of trail riding, though most of the club members stayed for the weekend in a very large ca. 1928 hunting cabin. We had originally planned on taking our 101 Forward Control but found that the choke assembly had froze and broke in the bitter cold. Next choice was the 109, which unfortunately has a broken windshield and a dead battery at the present time. Taking the Discovery wasn't an option, as it's still too new for us to abuse with offroading (though I'm sure it's time will come!). We really wanted to go, and finally decided on taking my truck, Spencer. The 88 has a few frame issues from a long life spent on the salty winter roads of New York, so we crossed our fingers the trails wouldn't be too rough and everything would be OK. The windshield wipers were broken, the emergency brake hadn't been working, and we had no heat, but we thought, what the heck... We ended up having a good time!
