Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

Truck looks so sweet!

 

Drive to lake placid Saturday night , lights under moon is bobsled track

 

Miramar? Or Pendleton?

 

Was that in PA?

I feel like I was just there lol looks very similar to the scenery in this pic I took:

 

Definitely looks similar but I’m in Virginia.

 

Ah okay gotcha!

 

Indian Grave Gap Rd up to Tray Mountain Rd. Its no mall parking lot but it will do

 

Francis Marion NF

 

Went to Tip Top Mine just north of Phoenix. Also, stopped to inspect the "Indian Fort" as well. Don't shoot the messenger, I didn't name it. I would have named it "Native Indigenous Bipedal Mammal Safe Space" if it were up to me.

 

"Indian Fort"

 

What's that bumper? Dope rig!

 

It's an RRW hybrid bumper. Sadly they don't make it anymore.

 

Relentless Fabrications makes one that is similar. And they are well built. I have the "Summit" and love it. There are different bar options as well.

 

Few more pics from LBL while doing a little off roading last weekend before i went in and got her dirty

 

Few days fishing small remote lakes in the Lac Le Jeune area. Catch and release with some good fly fishing, but a frankenstein loon ate a few fish right off the hook. He was also chasing the 18 inchers when I would put them back. I would try to time the release of the trout for when it appeared the loon would resurface. He never left the boatside. I was alone on the lakes, so I could not lead him over to another fisherman.

First day, and I have only fished for 10 minutes. Casual, rod resting on my lap, having morning coffee and cookies, and bam, a trout hits so hard my fly rod shoots out of the boat like shot out of a gun. I did not have it secured.

I am drift fishing with a strong wind pushing me, and my fly rod is quickly sinking to the bottom as the trout is still attached and jumping.

I manage to grab it while only the tip is still out of the water. The trout was gone by then.

Moral of that story? Better be some good coffee to risk losing your fishing gear.

 

That’s awesome! Real retirement goals there..

 

Yeah, once I stopped working this became full time. Never tire of it, and we are so lucky here in BC with these nature opportunities.

 

Here's to good coffee

 

Just finished a 6kmi road trip from Philly to San Diego and back, Off-Roading and camping as much as we could.

Pic1: Santa Fe National Monument, NM
Pic2: NW Arizona, somewhere on BLM land
Pic3: San Bernadino National Forrest, CA
Pic4: Cleveland National Forrest, CA (With Friends)
Pic5: Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, AZ (Easy Part)
Pic6: Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, AZ (Difficult Part)

I wish I had more pictures, but it's tough when you're the photographer of the group AND you're driving.

 

We did the Shafer trail near Canyonland National Park. Not a hard trail but I think it's one of my favorite when it comes to the beautiful landscape.
Got a few drone shots of the area.
