North Ghost

What happens when you just get too cocky with your FJ. (Orient Point in the background) Was just down here 2 days prior on the same path (not really much roads) to the north ghost, and took the wrong turn into a ditch covered by this drift. A shovel and potential sleeping gear are a must in the Ghost. Tons of horror stories to go around including losing vehicles to the river. Beowulf, III, WI 4, North Ghost, March, 2007.

Nice car

Is that yours? I was looking at one of these last year, but ended up getting the CR-V 4WD instead. How do you like this for off road stuff?

Re: Nice car

Hey Martin, I like it a lot. Switched from Landrovers (12 years) The most challenging 4 wheel we have to do to access routes is the north ghost, infamous stories abound. This was totally pilot error. Ran into a rock embankment. It was not the snow that killed it. Great clearance (3 skid plates in case), comes with real good 18" tires, of course I got the 6 speed on the floor, split rear differential if you need it...real easy and cheap interior so you don't worry about tearing it up. The A-Traction makes it crawl on ice, never driven anything so surefooted. Cheap too, $25k-30kUS. (add $1K for the NE Patriot license plate on front option)
