Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Will do.

BTW I'll be in bozo on Tuesday

 

Oh, I'm sure that was a really pretty area! I'd like to explore more USFS roads in the Beartooths. Would be awesome.

In related news, going up (i.e. from here to Jackson), I got 21.8 MPG!! But, on the way back, I got 23.8 MPG! Pretty sweet!

Thanks Ben, I'm pretty happy to have that photo in my portfolio now!

 

Lisa: sorry, just can't resist reviewing my photos! Been pretty much shooting nonstop without review, since the sun is so bright!

Looking back at your photos you posted, I can now recognize where you took them!

Here's one of Jenny Lake:

 

Nice shots FJ! looks like it was a little hazey then..Still looks good!

 

Hazy? To me, it was pretty clear, I must be used to too many forest fires haha.

Thanks Monte! I'm STILL waiting for YOUR adventure report and pics!

 

Havent learned anything on the new car yet, so gotta go to the audi dealer and have them do an oil change and the 60k tune up crap before I leave for the summer.

 

probably not til late tonight or tomorrow. I have some gopro vids i want to show as well

 

not cool. UNACCEPTABLE.

 

Will do, I'll shoot you a text. Just depends how long they are gonna take, gotta go shop for some fancy work clothes and get back to butte to finish packing.

 

Okay fine...

Here are some pic. One thing that was nice is how gorgeous it was the last few days.

Going up chief Joseph


Heart mountain in the background. I live on the other side of it. It's actually a "upside down" mountain. Older on top then bottom. Why? Huge ass volcanic eruption. As the absorkas were all volcanoes.



Top of dead Indian




How's that look for a road Ben



So nice out



Where he chained up



Pretty cool..






Getting deep



Satchmo!!





Getting deep...



Then I took over the lead for most the rest of the way till the end.

Dogs again



And now...the truck..

Got here at 9:15pm finally. We left cody at 5pm. Took us about 3 hours to get to the truck and this is what I see...







Yea..that's a gmc 1500..looks like a s10 buried like that

So we grabbed the shovels and went to work..

About an hour or two later



Okay..so then..I use my truck to pack down the snow for gmc. While I'm nose to nose with it he tries to back up behind me. His chained skinny tires cut strait down and he get high centered and stuck...and I can back out..

Had to hi lift my driver side and push the truck over to get me a clear path. I got out. Winch and pulled the gmc. Then the cpgmc tugged the shit out the ford to get it out. That took all the way till 3:07am exactly.



Aftermath



Y this time we were exhausted and mad. So we drove down at a good pace. I have 0 issues driving over the old path. The gmc would get stuck tho. And then the ford..had to tug them both at so,e point.

Grant I will admit I got stuck at least 4 times. Was odd. I'd get stuck in real simple places..he wouldn't. I would go right on through the hard places. He would get stuck.

Slept till 11am after getting to camp at 5:30am




They were very low on gas so went too Cooke city for gas after a lunch/breakfast. Grant and I did a bit of exploring but due to the fact I forgot my boots. My shoes were virtually unwearable. So I was barefoot the whole day.

I have more photos from my gopro and vids but ill get them later.

Re are just day shots



Very top


I walked up that bare foot not fun

 

Lisa: you got some nice moosie pictures! I got nothing like that Mine were both far away and scraggly guys. Also, nice sig pic!

Monte: Thank you! MAN, that looks like a mess, I'm happy I didn't come - I'm sure I would have gotten stuck. Gotta be an infuriating mess. wow... That is one buried truck.

I have a pic of me at that tower. haha

 

Nice job buddy. You went above and beyond this time.

 

I'm glad no one else came too. Woulda be sooooo much slower and the likely hood of people getting stuck..

I wasn't mad till we couldn't get his ford out. I was ready to just leave it haha

Nope was all good Orr then the passenger door handle cause a friend of theirs used a snowmobile to dig it out to the door to make sure it was fine. Snowmobile tracks everywhere tho.

The couple walked out 13 miles the next day after it was stuck too haha

 

Yea..frank took it hard tho..I have a few injuries not gonna lie..not going to do so,ething like that again without more info. I literally had no idea what to expect or anything. Was still fun tho in more ways then sad.
