Jane's First Outing

After driving some Class III roads for about 15 minutes, we parked here for a moment.   Jessie got into the act - she seemed to enjoy the trails.   She was a little timid about going through the first puddle...   By the second one she was giving it a bit more throttle.   She seems to like mud...   We came to a larger puddle on a side trail and Jessie(11) took this shot. I told her she could be the photographer any time!   Then Jane motored through it. Nice wake!   We paused here for a moment on the way out.   Dueling cameras.   Jane liked the mud but needs to get used to off-camber situations. She hated this - especially when she was teetering on two diagonal wheels. I kept telling her she would not roll!   Just to prove you could get a good angle without rolling I climbed this little hump.   They accused me of showing off......

I took my friend Jane and her 11 year old daughter Jessica out to The Mud Road area so she could try out her 2002 Kia Sportage. She did very well for her first time and I was impressed at how well the Kia did with the little stock 205 all-season tires. She took to the mud like a duck to water but on any slightly off-camber situation she seemed pretty terrified of rolling. That's understandable and just requires a little more familiarity with the vehicle. I think they both had fun and I hope we can see what else the Kia and its driver can do!
