Here's a stoopid idea....seeing how we have the Aces High Extreme Air Races...maybe an Extreme GV race should be organized. A race that loops around 2 different base towns as an example. :x

I belive they have jeep races already.

   I just went on a lone jeep expedition on Trinity map. Rolled out of V82 and headed west to find a route over the circle of mountains. Had 2 supplies with me and knew Id need em. After a long ride uphill I saw white mountains rise up in front. Looking at the map I saw a lighter shade of green and assumed it was a lower alt route so I headed for it.

   Reached the heighth of the land 19,400ft at a place I dubbed Foggy Pond, its an area where a pond looking area is filled with fog. Its just north of the spawn lines from V82 headed west, near the area I drove through. Then I started down the other side.

    Going up was easy. Going down I rolled countless times but somehow kept getting lucky with gravity and landed wheels down. I got caught in a weird terrain thing that acted like a black hole. I couldnt get out for 15 minutes...finally I did. I decided to drive to A138. I rolled once when I bumped a lil roll in the terrain at about 10 mph and used 1 supply. Then I made it to the VH at A138 and shut her down. Took about 1 hour 40 minutes.

    Was a pretty cool adventure, that would be better with a bunch of drunk squaddies Im sure.

   Thanks for the idea <S>
