The trip consisted of a 7 hour road trip, and 2 days of off-road trails from mild to quit rough. In the field it was typically loaded with 3 passengers and a few hundred pounds of gear. On many of the trails, I was the only SUV or street vehicle and had no problem keeping up with the Polaris Rangers and the like. I even managed to get the wheels off the ground a few times (unplanned). The Pathy’s performance got a lot of complements and in many ways was much better than the Rangers & Jeep that accompanied me on the run. While they were eating dust and enduring the heat, we were happy with our AC, Stereo… and doors.
Here are a few images of with and without the Pathfinder. The full gallery is at: http://www.geneinman.com/dove-2013
As for the hunt.. well it was a bit slow. But the trip was great, except for the hours of cleaning to get rid of the fine red dust... it was everywhere!
