Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

If it's anything like what 20tacosr5 ^^^^^ posted you definitely will be a hindrance and possibly risking your life.

 

I agree with the former, but the latter, forget it…there will be a time when we all face that.

 

rule #1 of offering assistance - do not put yourself in harms way

 

Be ready when it’s your turn.

I helped out once in HEAVY traffic offering assistance to help get a woman and her child to safety. The car was on its side from a mega impact and the cars wizzing by not giving a shit tripped me out. They were freaking out. If it wasn’t for me and the other individual, it probably would not have been good for them IF they tried to get out themselves. No one was offering assistance. I don’t like to be the one “who doesn't give a shit.”

After fighting cancer and almost losing my life, I don’t spend a second thinking about myself when it comes to helping others.

 

Having to rescue the rescuer is a big reason that help is often politely denied. You might be better off loading some needed supplies in your truck and delivering them to the people making the runs. If you want to put yourself in a position to help, look for a local volunteer SAR team and get some training. Then show up with your certs and you can probably go to work.

 

I had to pull off the pavement into a gravel parking lot to go around a truck backing into a dock…does that count?

 

Now hold on! I never said anything about trying to play a hero.

However, I see no harm to anyone when we can fill our Taco beds with supplies and drive it to a safe location.

The local market’s entire roof collapsed in Crestline. :0( And they are just sending in the guard?? Not cool man.

 

No arguments from me about getting needed supplies to safe locations. Distribution from there becomes the issue, and there are many layers of considerations to think about. Over crowding access roads and local distribution points is just one of those. The National Guard is brought in because of logistical abilities. One five ton or dragon wagon can take the supplies in one trip that 20 Tacoma's could do. There is a lot more to it than that. Not saying you can't help, but there are reasons why things are done in a certain manner. I hope you can help, I think it's a great idea and it would be appreciated by those in need.

 

Hear hear.

I just hope those communities get some help.

 

In the hills East of Superior, AZ



Pond for cows


Still some water from the recent rains and snow


A lot more to explore

 

Went out to see Pilot Rock trail. It was pretty washed out from all the recent rain. Fun day though.

Merus Adventure Park in the Palo Duro Canyon, TX

 

Had a great day up in the snow and ice at Ray’s Place about 2.5 hours north of Toronto with the TEC group. Great guys and some laughs winching and hitting trees.

 

Took it out on an easy day exploring Anza Borrego.

Last week, up Angeles Crest Highway to Chilao campground. They closed the roads that same day.

 

Monongahela NF, WV

 

Ended up going to Kilbourne Hole in NM for the first time yesterday. I only saw probably a fifth of the entire area. It was an awesome experience the size of it a lot larger than I expected. I wonder if anyone knows if there is an area where you can go down into the volcanic crater safely or if it’s even allowed.

 

man…is that really California…NoCal???
