So I got a wild hair today to head out and see some countryside. The folks on the east coast who are wrestling with snow may appreciate looking at someplace that isn't buried in the white stuff.
Anyway, here you go for your viewing pleasure.
Loaded up and ready to head out. You may give me crap about the farm jack on the front if you wish, but it's what I have at the moment.
Wine country, or is that whine country?
Moore's Valley. It's one of those places you wouldn't think to look for unless you knew it existed. This is why the pioneers crossed the plains in covered wagons. If you can't grow a crop here, give it up, you're not a farmer.
Happy Ducks, Just because...
Wish you could fish that, but it's McGuire Reservoir. Off limits.
Just another forest road. There's hundreds of miles of them around here. Not to technical, huh?
"Big Meadow" as the locals call it. There are two herds of Elk that live here.
Lot's of water this time of year...fish too.
This is one of the reasons you don't build a tall Jeep around here. And why you carry an axe. We get trees across the trails all the time. It's just part of the scenery. It's really messed up if a BIG one drops across the road after you go through though. Sometimes it's a long ways to go around.
One of my favorite camping spots. The moss is about three inches thick here. Hardly need a pad to sleep on.
The picture is a little fuzzy, but that's a lot tighter than it looks. You can't see this trail from the road, either. It's on the down hill side of an outside corner. It just kind of drops away into the trees and heads down the hill.
There's a trail off to the left there somewhere!
There it is! Gotta know what to look for, or you'll miss the really cool spots.
Another nice camping spot. We actually get the Suburban in here, with the Oldest Daughter's rig and a pretty nice camp setup. Grandkids have a blast in this area.
Kind of a kiddie flex here, but who ever tries to show off the flex on a stock Jeep?
Yup, that's almost full stuff right there with stock sized tires and stock suspension. AOR is setting me up with new fender flares on Monday.
That tire is just barely on the ground. Ran the Jeep up the pile until I lost traction, hopped out and snapped some pictures.
