The 2014 Sierra vs. The River? #WordlessWednesday

in Uncategorized on 07/17/13

Go ahead, turn up the volume and have a good laugh at me as I giggle tackle this little river in a rockin pick up truck and totally win! 

Me against the river! #SierraWest

Thanks to @GMCCanada I had the chance to try out the brand new 2014 Sierra in a way I never thought I would.  Driving out of the city and into Cowboy Country!  Who knew pick up trucks could be this much fun?

I also hope you will pop over one post to read a LOT more about my incredible adventure to the Wild West here.

Happy almost Wordless Wednesday

      That is one of the joys of Alberta! And why we all drive trucks!

      GO Stephanie! Our area just hosted its summer Monster Truck Rally. They would be smart to invite you next year…

        LOL Ahhh that would be so much fun. Good grief could you imagine the video then!
        I read your comment out loud to my family; the response from my 14 year old daughter “If you get invited to a Monster Truck Rally AND are allowed to drive, PLEASE take me!”

      Looks like a blast! Something I have never done but think it would be awesome to do. Maybe one day!

      Ooooooh, (rhymes with shoe) that is rather scary for me. You said it was fun, so I’ll take your word for it. Thanks for hosting.

        It really was fun, I swear!! LOL Thanks so much for popping by and leaving a sweet comment!

      This looked like fun – I would have gone again! šŸ˜‰

        July 17, 2013 at 4:55 pm

        I was going to try again, but figured I better give the hubby a turn šŸ™‚

      July 17, 2013 at 1:55 pm

      Oh my gosh! I don’t think I could have gone through with that!

      • Stephanie says

        July 17, 2013 at 4:56 pm

        Oh sure you could have!! I can see you now, music turned up and laughing just as hard as I was in that video!

      LoL … that is so funny, did you get to cross more ‘rivers’?

      • Stephanie says

        July 17, 2013 at 4:56 pm

        That was the only river, but there were lots of hills, gravel roads and even some off roading. Not to mention some good old fashioned city driving!

      Oh girl come to the farm I could use the help and you will be racing through those puddles in no time:) B

        July 17, 2013 at 4:57 pm

        It was such a gift to be able to escape the city for a while. The quiet was like nothing I have ever experienced!

    13. Robin (Masshole Mommy) says

      July 17, 2013 at 10:03 am

      Wowza – I never even would have attempted it.

      • Stephanie says

        July 17, 2013 at 4:58 pm

        I had to work up to it and now am so glad I did. Was such a blast tearing through that creek!

    14. Heidi C. says

      July 17, 2013 at 4:01 am

      Wow! What a “puddle”! At least you were in a vehicle that could handle driving through it!

      • Stephanie says

        July 17, 2013 at 4:59 pm

        It handled it with ease!! This creek was an amazing test for the pick up. As a city girl I would never have thought a vehicle could handle something like this, now I know a GM can!

      July 17, 2013 at 3:23 am

      How fun! Next time gun it through the water šŸ™‚

      • Stephanie says

        July 17, 2013 at 3:31 am

        LOL That’s what my Hubby said!! I should have done it again!
