Went on a very nice 4x4 adventure with my X and my GF this weekend. Had a blast, saw some amazing back country, found an "alternative" route to a mountain lake (Rainbow Lake) that's main road has been washed out for years...I knew it existed, just wasn't sure how to get there until this weekend. Also found a new hiking trail that takes you to an old abandoned fire spotter shed on top of Coffin Mountain, one of 2 or 3 still standing in the Cascade Range...ran out of time to take the hike, but now that I know where it is, I'll make it some day and post some pics. And oh yeah, found plenty of mud, passed a parked subaru too afraid to try the hill to get up to a certain camp site...i made in it 2 wheel drive haha....SUV my a$$...

Sorry I didn't get more pics of the X in action, I was busy driving, but at least we got some good shots of the scenery, enjoy!

yep, nothing like the old logging roads that take you places most will never know exists...
 






I wish there where places like that around me, if you find a hill by me its amazing
 






sounds like you need to take a little road trip my friend...:) A good camping trip can be worth every penny in gas IMO.
