- The Village Chronicles -

In August of 2006, Benjamin Dean Box made the trek up I35 and moved into an unsuspecting Village apartment with Kendal Scott Haug...the city of Dallas will never be the same. All stories recounted here are intended for the purpose of documenting history, are written with journalistic integrity (they are accurate), and may be retold and/or embellished at the reader's wishes.

Weekend Trip

The weekend Kendal was pretending to get a tattoo in Austin, I was in Oklahoma doing some off-roading in the Kiamichi and Ouachita Mountains around Broken Bow Lake. This area is known for its difficult off-road trails that anyone can attempt to conquer if they buy a land permit. I was down there Friday through Sunday with my friend Justin and a lot of his good friends from Norman. We stayed at a little cabin, drove jeeps all over the place, and did some fly-fishing. I didn’t take my jeep because she is my baby and I didn’t like the thought of her getting injured again. Here are some pics from my phone:

A steep trail

Broken Bow Lake in the distance

An obstacle

A larger obstacle which took this guy about 2 hours to get over, and he had to use his winch.

Which led to us standing around and making fun of him while he did loads of damage to his jeep.(We thought that he was taking the jokes alright, until he got out and tackled Chris into the bushes and wailed on his face for a short while.)

Justin is wearing Crystal's jacket because it is completely covered in mud. It is completely covered in mud because Justin hit the gas a little too hard on one of the trails and Crystal went flying out the back of the jeep. She cried a little bit, and probably had a concussion, but said it was only slightly worse than the last time she rode with Justin when he rolled his jeep bumper over bumper.


Yep

Good style with the for sale stickers, I'm sure this is helping the value

Ben you are the most understated person I know. I had no idea how amazing this trip was-or how dangerous!
