3 hour tour.

Took the family on an offroading adventure this morning. Ended up an all day event. We climbed 3k feet over 30 miles and dropped 40 degrees in temp.

Re: 3 hour tour.

Yes it is. The trail starts at the base of the mountain and runs to the top.

Really like that first pic of your Suburban; looks like she's checking out the scenery as well!

Re: 3 hour tour.

Yes thanks for sharing, looks like a fun adventure. I was thinking it must be very disorienting driving upside down like that!

Back in the late 60's my father-in-law drove a 2 wheel drive 1960 with a 283/Powerglide. Out in the desert around Yuma he'd drive that thing through deep and steep dry river beds and gullys that had everyone piling out for safety. No winch, tools, or cell phones back then. He always made it though. Never got stuck and never rolled it over which amazed everyone.

Re: 3 hour tour.

Totally cool. You gotta know by now that you pretty much stole that truck from the previous owner. I think one of the best scores in a long time. Glad you got it and glad to see you use it.

I knew that the day I bought it! It has a good home now though. My family enjoys it!
