The latest video on the Mordor Trip. This episode includes a lot of hiking through the lava field we visited. If hiking is not your thing then this one might not be for you.
This is where we went last winter. We went mid January. I was expecting snow, but we ran into very little snow.

Good call. It does seem as of right now fires are still prohibited https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=v.dsp_featureArticle&articleId=135 . Nothing mentioned about a permit required.
In preparation for long distance gas stops on the last two trips of the year, I finally got around to installing the old Jeep TrailBlazer auxiliary tank in the Jeep. I received this tank when I purchased the Jeep 19 years ago.... I guess it was about time.
