A crystal clear day, a great group of enthusiasts and of course the best equipment trekked along 150+ year old wagon wheel tracks left by the Oregon Territory pioneers. Nice seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones yesterday, looking forward to more adventures with you.
BT17R leads the group mainly because I had the map. That didn't stop me from leading everyone down a wrong turn here.

BT tries to stay clean for a calendar contest shoot at day's end. Here we enter the forest and start of the Barlow Road that parallels the White River canyon.
SoaS showing off his new PIAA's. He found factory mounting brackets under the bumper cover making for an easy install.
Donovan getting frisky.
Dirty's amazingly modded Sun Fusion. Made my stocker look like a RAV4.
Group shot at a campground stop.
Donovan earning 'Most Adventurous' award while proving that FJ's aren't just for show.
bigbill25 sets the style for water hazard transition.
SoaS has no problem with his OEM A/T tires.
Dirty gets 'Biggest Splash' award while flying blind through the wake thrown by his BFG M/T's.
End of the trail for BT.
I think total distance on the actual trail was maybe 20-22 miles or so. Easy conditions, a little target practice along the way and no worries about ATV's coming at us over blind corners. In fact, I think we only met two other trucks and a few enduro bikers. Highly recommended, would definitely do it again! Thanks for the good time, mates.
Looked like fun guys, sorry I missed it. That must have been SoaS I seen coming off of Hood yesterday about 4:00. Hey, we waved and got one back.

Thanks for all the great pics. Looked like a future TOYOTA ad.

Gee, I almost feel like I was there!
Oh yeah, I WAS! Very fun getting together with some respectable folk...
My wife's first time ever off-roading. Glad we didnt scare her. BTW: you guys missed out on the Frog Lake turn off. A good little hill climb. The day just didnt feel complete without it!

Great shots, what equipment are you shooting with?
Thanks. I picked up a Minolta Maxxum 7D digicam (6 Mb, image stabilization in body) after they abandoned the camera business and sold the division to Sony. All of my Minolta film camera lenses work with it. Of all places, WallyWorld had them with a Minolta 18-70mm kit lens for $599 a couple months ago. They originally went for ~$1,900 for the body alone. Sony picked up the warranty. So far, so good, still getting up to speed, but it's a quantum step up for me from my old Canon G-3 P&S.
