Awesome! I'll keep it as a reference to show my significant other when I start hacking on her LR4.

Dave, I am truly and honestly amazed that it grew into what it should not have. While I personally may not have done what Adam and guys did - more out of being a wuss than sticking to Thread Lightly principles - I don't condone it. I just wanted to _sort of_ pass it to Adam that there may have...

Pretty much what I said.

What makes no sense? The most-common tool in the arsenal of "jeepers" in Russia is the chainsaw. It is occasionally used to clear the trees fallen across the road, but most-often it is to just chop off the trees that are on the way, or to pave the route across a bog. It is perfectly acceptable...

Adam, what people do to their land in Russia is beyond redemption and any excuse, and that applies to four-wheelers as well. I wouldn't bring that up.

Very cool! I asked my friend, who drove the green Disco in this trip, to paint the roof white - the paint is of a sort of POR-15, besides simply being a paint it slows down rust (which is a built-in feature in 96-97 D1s). I also knew exactly the difference in interior temperature (and how hard...

Adam, you may take into account Roverrocks' locale. People in Colorado are very sensitive to this, because idiots do it often in alpine tundra, and these wounds do take thousand years to heal. Don't know if you guys remember the two brothers who took a wrong turn in Colorado about 10 or 15...

Adam - great post, and photos! Now I want to go back to Aquarius Plateau... It also reminded me of two couples stuck for 24 hours on Cottonwood Canyon road after a spring rainstorm in a VW camper before we just happened (by mistake) on this road and pulled them out... Clay is treacherous.

White Pocket?

Cool, I am envious!

I was thinking of this one.

The photos are insane! Thanks for sharing! Can I buy some prints (or large-size files so I can print them)?

Very nice! I miss the area already.

I wish I had more time to roam around Bridgeport. There seems to be plenty of things to do beyond fly-fishing; hope to get to the area either later this year, or next year. Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks! It won't be very long before this truck makes it to San Juan Mountains.

Mono Lake no less deserves a single dedicated day or several, than, say, Death Valley. In the past, we’ve circumnavigated it a few times on the sandy roads – every time it was a good adventure in itself. Enough is written about the geology and biology of Mono Lake – it attracts the mad...

Mono Lake In the morning, the skiers decided to stiff the sport, and all six of us piled up in the Land Rover and headed to Mono Lake. The lake is in about half an hour drive North of Mammoth Lakes along U.S.395, but we decided to deviate from the blacktop. There's a vast network of forest and...

Hot Tubs From a few grizzled locals I heard that somewhere, between the Hot Creek and Crowley Lake, there are hot tubs. Pretty much, holes in the ground with hot water. Ever since Hot Creek was closed for bathing, I wanted to find them – but my want faded on our Summer trips, for it was...

Hot Creek Years ago, the public was allowed to bathe in the Creek – since then the geologic activity increased, and the water temperature in the streams feeding the creek rose. A few fumaroles sprung up as well – as a result, safety- (or lawsuit-) conscious Forest Service fenced everything...
