actually it sounds like some good solid rigging. two straps or chains on the quad hanging from two snatch blocks should have made it an easy job. hell, a guy could have sat on the quad and hand pulled it across.:gapteeth:

The repair really made a difference. There's a good camp site just past that spot we use to call the Pucker camp. We'll have to find a new name now.
They were working on a by pass around the 6.5 mile area Saturday. From what I could see it looks like it will be a gas. Plus it will eliminate the dusty/muddy section under the trees.

The water was a dad high for a POS like my rig last weekend. This is the second water crossing.
