Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

Nothing insane, just a random old dirt road. Always wondered where it went, finally had the time and just drove it for 80 miles, seeing where it went.

 

And that is how and where some of the most memorable moments come from.

 

Ain't that the truth. Even more so because you don't have to really worry about breaking stuff, or pay too much attention. Always such a good time. A nice break from reality and a good place to just drive and think and what not.

 

That scenario has led my wife and I on the best adventure and to the best camp sites! Sweet shot by the way looks amazing out there.

 

I'll bite... Where'd it go??

 

Everyone there thought I was going over but from the driver seat it didn’t feel sketch at all. Makes for a cool pic though!

 

Just a couple third gens getting after it in the Mojave.

I concur

 

across my lawn accidentally because I couldn't see the grass under the snow

 

Oh man. Where is the entrance to this trail?

 

Off Highway 1

 

LOL

Usal Rd.

It's actually a Mendocino County Rd.

Runs 26 miles from Hwy 1 (right where 1 turns inland to go to Legett) north to the entrance to Sinkyone State Park, south of Shelter Cove and off Chemise Mtn Rd.

The only really scenic section is the southernmost few miles. After Usal Beach the trees block the view. It's still a fun track to run.

 

Jinx

 

Lol. Word.

 

Thanks for the detailed route! I didn’t know how else to ask my question lol.

 

If you like Usal here's a few more pics. I ran it on a bike way more than in the truck.










North end



Beach overlook



Elk on beach





South entrance (road markings likely changed now!!)



People love to run it in VW vans, ofall the cars I've seen out there (which is like 10 in 5 years) I bet most have been VW vans...? Unrelated, she's hot.

 

Near Ft. Churchill

 

That build looks solid! Do you have any issues you need to address? What trails are you running?

 

I have the same build... I love it! I think the KM3 Pizza cutters are underrated!

 

Took the kids up to Palomar Mountain in San Diego on Nate Harrison Grade Truck Trail. 10 miles up for 20 miles round trip. Easy trail but rutted in a few spots and my rock sliders did some duty against a dirt berm I hugged a little too closely to navigate around one of the bigger ruts.
