Went with my brother in law to the metal fab shop where he works, and for the cost of a 12 pack of beer for his boss and buying him lunch, he fabbed up a skid plate for me! :D
Having left the brutal slog up and down the mountain, I hopped in the V, cranked the heat, cracked a pepsi, and drove on. I found the track the Subaru dudes had told me about without much trouble. Not too far into the track, I found the wrecked truck and car they told me about:
An old Jeep...
So far, the rain had mercifully been limited to a few scattered drizzles, so I was hopeful for the next leg of exploration. The open clearcuts at the top of this deactivated road would have spectacular views, and all night I had been imagining the possibilities of bringing a group of guys with...
The following morning I woke up to a light, sporadic rain, which I actually felt quite thankful for, as I had anticipated a torrential downpour. Breakfast was bacon and eggs, which were delicious, and being eager to get going on the next leg of my adventure, I decided to forgo the morning fire...
I tried out a little side track I had passed at the start of "Pinstriping Hell" but found that it ended in a big mass of erosion washout:
Luckily, I had passed a decent open spot off the side of the road which others had obviously used for camping. It had decent views of the cascades to the...
I've been itching to explore this valley just on the north side of the border with Cascades National Park. Previously, we had done some exploring here during our snow wheeling trip, and before that with my buddy's UTV, but we had turned back for various reasons.
Originally, I was going to do...

So far I'm not super impressed with Gaia. It seems extremely buggy and broken, with features not working as they should. It doesn't inspire me to want to pay for the full app.
Sure smells like a hidden agenda, doesn't it? "WE'RE SHUTTING THIS PLACE DOWN BECAUSE EVERYONE LEAVES TRASH" *goes to pick up trash* "Don't you dare pick up trash! (That would ruin our excuse to push our pre-conceived agenda to shut humans out of all wild places)"
I was looking at the map and thinking there might be a route past the hydro project at Cowholm lake, but it's very hard to tell by the sat photos. I think it would take some poking around from the Gibsons side to really find out.
Thanks! I'm fairly convinced that Honda used the 80 series Land Cruiser as a visual inspiration for the body design, as the lines are quite similar. I'm not fond of the subsequent generations of CR-V, but I love the 1st gen.
Hopefully I'll be able to do more mods next year. Five kids with a...
