My darling hubby decided we were all going to have some 4wding fun out at Mundaring. It's such a lovely place and is great fun with the Pathfinder. Hubby wa a little disappointed that CALM have closed off all the good tracks (secretly I'm relieved) but he still managed to find some good hills and tricky tracks. Normally when we go 4wding by ourselves it’s an adventure and usually ends up with us being bogged or in some other trouble. I’m still haunted about the time when hubby saw a sand hill and was determined to get up it. I gently reminded him we had to pick our daughter up from school in 30 mins and with no mobile on us if things went pear shaped we would be late to pick her up and wouldn't be able to call anyone, so now wasn't the time to challenge any hills. Needless to say he did attempt the hill, we got bogged and had to spend the next 45 mins trying to get ourselves out. I was 7 months pregnant at this time and was wading through the most horrible black sand in my dress and thongs trying to find anything we could use to jam under the wheels that would stop them from spinning.
This photo was taken today. It's hubby's impression of 3WDing. The kids thought it was great.
I love the forrest in Mundaring andthe vast differences going from the natural bush to the pine tree plantations not to mention the beautiful fresh smell. It was a great day and so much better than spending it at home watching movies. I really should start listening to my beloved more.
