Great pics dawg. How's the crew running?

Re: post up your camping pics
 

thanks MTCK!

glug, glug, glug.....she's a gas sucker :lol:
140 miles there & back, cost me 80 bucks in fuel....

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Awesome views! I seen a few myself this summer but not pictured. Now the truck is down for upgrades yet it's the fall season which is the best scenery time. Been riding the rzr through town and on errands just to say i got out hahaha.

yep, it's either that or a $500/month truck with $100/month insurance payment and you cant work on it yourself, and they dont get much better fuel economy.

Re: post up your camping pics
 

i give up worrying 'bout fuel costs & live for the moment...:metal:
some more pics of Little Douglas lake. swapped the cam card while i was up there, thought i had lost it, but found it under the seat of the crew today....

took a trip down a way old memory lane on my way to Foley. 'bout 40+ yrs ago, lived in a small house on this property. i think this is the actual spot where the house stood, has been 40 yrs since i been here.
Attachment 1587694Attachment 1587696

i remember it had a well for water with a cranky old pump that never seemed to work. we would trudge up this path (still there!) to this pond that my dad created. Pierce creek is about 800 ft away & he diverted part of it by digging a channel & building a wooden flume in other spots.
Attachment 1587697Attachment 1587698

those logs were part of a platform he had made, & what we would dive off

used to have a rickety old barn in this field.....

the military took over the land awhile ago and has been using it for training. they certainly cleaned it out...

dieseldawg142, Your pictures make me homesick for a place I have never been. The mountains call to me, I just need to leave my current life with security and move to a place where I believe I will actually be happy every day.
Thank you for all the great pictures, please keep it up

road was not in horrible shape, but it had it's moments. water all over the place, lots of slides, waterfalls everywhere, the ground is saturated
Attachment 1587734

Foley creek falls
Attachment 1587735Attachment 1587736

one of the slides had to cross
Attachment 1587737

this one drove the pucker factor up. most of the road is gone, but if the jeeps & 'yota's can do it, so can i. it was VERY soft, especially with that puddle sitting on it, i swear to god i could feel the road "moving" & watched dirt & rocks start tumbling 70 feet down to the lake....when i came back, i practically had the stepper vertical up the side of the mountain away from the edge...
