Actually, the tail pipe of the wrangler is under water going
blub-blub-blub while I am trying to straightn up and get a bite of
something that will let it climb up the other side.  Every other time
through the Wrangler spins out, so it is rock back and forth, etc. 
Liberty does not loose traction.  No problem with approach or
departure. Probablly the selectrac.

Plans are to take both vehicles and a camcorder up to the farm after
eating too much bird on t-day and getting some real ground-truth
(remote sensing lingo that).  I will try to get a web page built.  I
suggested to wife we hook up the two rigs with a tow strap across the
creek and play 'tug of war.'  Her response was not fit to post.  I
think I can get my nephews interested.  Weather should be muddy but
not to cold.
