It was my 1st off road adventure. I was in my brand new stock X on a back trail on Assatigue Island National Seashore in deep sand. I went around a corner came across a Jeep Wrangler frame deep in the sand.

It was 100 degrees and the mosquitos were out in force. Deciding not to risk being eaten alive by the bugs while trying to dig him out, I hooked a strap to him and "walked" him out. (The loser didn't even have a shovel.. he was trying to dig himself out by hand). He thanked me and headed back to the paved roads.

Was my stock X better than his stock Jeep? Prob not... but the X is wonderful in sand. Jeeps are good too, even better if you LET SOME AIR OUT OF YOUR TIRES! (There are air stations at the trail head on the island... no excuse).

HaPpY Trails,

P.S. When telling this story to Jeep owners, I always leave out the part about the 30+ lbs of air in that guys tires.
