Rope bridge between two trucks

[Blythewoodjoe]

No they weren't bridge trucks.

A couple of weeks ago our scouts put up a monkey bridge in my back yard and I had them put it over the pond and use two trucks as scaffolding to climb on and work off of. One truck is the M35A2 I am letting my father in law have and the other was my M813. You can see the deuce in the video and I will post some pictures of the M813 from my other computer later.

Now just one more reason to have a yard full of trucks.

I will attempt to link a youtube video of the largest and clearly most nimble member of the troop (me) below. I am pleased to point out I didn't get wet.

Nice Joe! I would have had to mess with ya though. Maybe we should bring it to the Ga rally?

Totally cool!

It's great to see someone teaching practical problem solving the old fashioned way of trial & error. The consequences here are simple - screw up and you get wet. That's not so bad. Putting the MVs in just makes it all cooler!

Hats off to those who are truly preparing our future leaders!

Excellent and it's always great when someone helps out the scouts.

Now what's up with the olefart trying to fall in the water. Sure is terrible when we realise that what was fun when we were teens and 20's now ain't so fun once you get a few steps into it. LOL
