Looks like fun!!!
We took a trip up Palomar Mtn but it didn't look nearly as pristine as that stuff.

Wow--it's great to see the latest, red, All-pro creations. I had lost track since the Bundrant '85 red Runner.
I love my All-Pro front bumper, btw. :sombrero:

Nice pics, I used to live in Idyllwild and still miss that area (especially the fun drive through the twisties 2x every day :smiley_drive
. Is that "Old Control Road" or the other one off of Bee Canyon? I remember trying to figure a way to get the transfer case out of an abandoned 1st gen 4runner that went over the side ages ago - I bet it's still there (precarious spot and removal would have been difficult).

We got 2 abandoned vehicles off Old Control Road earlier this month.

That's the one! glad you guys were able to pull that junk out of there.
(Hope I never need a rig that impressive for a recovery)
We are! It should only be about another month before we will start fabbing them for LB's!
Yes Sir :smiley_drive:

Location of "Control Road?"
I'm now a part-timer in Idyllwild and really love the photos of your snow run. Where does this "control road" start and stop? I'd love to take my Explorer out on it before the snows arrive and then again once after they do.
Cheers,

We did a quick trip up Black Mountain Road just north of Idyllwild last weekend. Super easy trail, but really worth it as it has awesome views from the fire tower at the top (7772ft). Cool camping at the top too.

Nice photos, Andyroo. It looks like a great place to visit.
We did Dark Canyon (4S02), which has to be even easier since it is almost all paved. It wasn't for the 4x4 challenge, but for my wife's benefit. Locals told us that's where you find the Dogwood and Redbud trees, which she is really into. We met a few cars on the road, but beyond Dark Canyon itself (Azalea Trail?) it was deserted.
By the way, nice camp trailer in your album. I hope to build one similar to it, maybe based on the military M416 or similar?
Cheers,
