lets put it this way.. i have been to sand lake 5 times now. in those 5 times i have come to these conclusions
Speed does not kill, Being an idiot does.. watch your surroundings
Air down air down air down air down air down... 2 out of the 5 times i was there, i was stuck for atleast an hour, digging out and Airing down.. all because i didnt take the time to air down before i got on the sand..
If its a busy weekend, avoid it, 3 out of the 5 times i was there, i witnessed Death, or serious injury, the 3rd time i was there i witnessed 3 life flights and 3 ambulances.. 3(?) died 2 survived with serious injuries.. i would have to dig up the story.. but it was all because of a drunk dude in a sand rail hit a sober family in another sand rail.. killing all the kids(?)
its just not fun to me if i have to be super carefull about every action i make. because it could kill someone.. you dont have to worry nearly as much about personal harm on a forest trail
the last thing i learned from sand lake, is i would trade my jeep for a banshee on the sand anyday.
