Time to start actually posting some of the results from the places I end up.

You can see my original design tire carrier in these....ugly. Gone.

I do a lot of my picture taking when I'm by myself on trails. So... not much in the way of action shots, but you can see where I've been.

Rashford Spur Rd branches off of NFD Road 54 heading into Gifford Pinchot Nat'l Forest. The "road" itself is pretty short, but there are lots of little turn offs that head into the trees. Thanks to bgwolfpack for turning me onto this place. I've been spending every Sunday (and some other days) in GPNF exploring. It's HUGE.

Very cool place. Reminds me of the areas I saw in the rain forest west of the Olympic mountains.

Were you stuck in the last pic? If so, how did you get out by yourself?

HiLift, shovel, and some spare branches... not glamorous, but effective. A 4Runner happened down the road too had that not worked. I should have gotten "educational" pics but I was busy sweating and cursing. :wallbash:

Here are some random videos from a different time, but in the same area.
