One thing I have learned since I have started wheeling is the appreciation for sightseeing and views. There are so many opportunities people miss out on because they are not capable of getting to these places. Today though, was a nice spot for people who dont have the capabilities to still get back into nature and enjoy the beautiful views we have in this country. I went to a 10,000 acre private owned and gated ranch (Nice and peaceful! no trespassers) in tehachapi, Ca. There was about 20 of us from my philosophy class, my professor feels that people dont get out of the city life enough and had planned on doing something, a student offered their aunt and uncles property for a relaxing day. It was beautiful and was great to get away. We got to shoot guns, go hiking, hang out and enjoying an open field with wild horses. The dirt roads were not difficult at all, I stayed 4Hi unlocked and in drive the whole time but almost had to pull out the tow strap for a little PT cruiser getting stuck in some mud, lol. Overall it was a great day and was cool to see people that normally dont get to see nature's beauty enjoy it to the fullest.
They all loved the Hummer and saw how much I love the outdoors and I think the 2WD vehicles were appreciative that I was there if they got into a bad situation. lol
Even though they are wild and aren't fed from the owners daily, they are on property and have gotten used to humans, most wouldn't eat from your hand but some did.
I also ended up finding an old jeep just laying around. I asked my friend about it and he said they haven't had the thing running in years. I have never realized how little these old jeeps are until you get up close to them.
We left right after dark and while we were in an open field I thought it was time to document how the Piaa's perform. I have 3 pictures, the first one with no headlights or off road lights on(there was some background light from another car), then headlights and fog lights and the 3rd is the headlights, fog lights and Piaa 520SMR's
I personally thought they did well! I love these lights and recommend them.
All in all it was a great day and had many laughs, especially seeing some of the people who never shot a gun have a 12 gauge kick back into their shoulder.
