The whole trail still looks like a total blast, and I'd love to do it. I just want to stay inside of my limits, which are pretty low right now.
Funny part was, I dumped it in a really stupid spot. It wasn't really something anyone outside of a Subaru would call an obstacle, I just had a stupid...
Oh yeah, definitely passable. I'm just doubting I have the abilities with a stock JLR (maybe an experienced spotter could get me through?).
That picture was from 20 years ago. That obstacle (called the Squeeze back then?) looks about the same, maybe slightly harder now. I actually got stuck...
I was out there yesterday for a running race, and the route had us go down Odessa Canyon. Long story short, I drove my Bronco II up it 20 years ago with a group, and I don't remember any obstacles that looked nearly that difficult back then. Has the trail eroded that much, or is my memory that bad?
Would potentially like to head up to Big Bear via Clarks, but the GF is scared of going off road, so I'm hoping that it is tame enough for her (she is fine on 2N10 :LOL:).
But does anyone know if it is tame enough that I can roll up with our mountain bikes on a hitch rack? Hitch does hang...
Been nice being able to fill the 35 gallon tank on my van with less cringe.
What is crazy is how the price is so close here in SoCal as my last stop in Utah. I skipped refueling in Arizona and Nevada because it was equal to, or cheaper at home.
I know an auto is better off road, but I spend WAY more time on road than off. And even when in dirt, I rarely need more than 2wd. So I will take the enjoyment of a manual.
I'd rather have no Jeep over an auto, given the choice.
Shopping for a cover right now, just seeing what options are out there to choose from. Am I missing any?

I am not yet convinced that there is a solution, just multiple. Electricity is great because it is pretty simple, and we already have infrastructure for it. Hydrogen would need infrastructure, but also a great excuse to build nuke plants.
Unless/until we electrify rail, we will have diesel...
I go out to SW Utah a few times a year to mountain bike. I always want to go wheeling, but I ain't got no time fo dat when I am riding my bike :LOL:
Maybe someday I will leave my bike behind and just bring my running shoes. Maybe.
