We love SE WA and NE OR--the went to school in Walla Walla (she's all about the geology) and we camped in that area several times this past summer.

I'm hoping to get a group together in the Spring for NE OR while things are still green and it's not 110 degrees out.

Did a 4 day/3 night camping and riding trip last week on the Tallulah River in N.E. Georgia. We had five people (2 80s, a 62, an Xterra) who tent camped (night-time lows: 28, 26, 28) the whole time. We also had two day-riders (80, 4runner) on Saturday, and another (Cherokee) on Sunday.

I've already posted some pics in this thread, so I won't repost those, but I just uploaded a bunch of photos of various road trips I've done in Tanzania in both my 80 and 60 series, as well as a few from my old Hilux Surf. I'll keep adding more as I find them buried in my hard drive.

Maybe not this weekend, maybe not even the last one, but surely this month!

That's how crossing the Rio Grande o Guapay in the Bolivian Amazon, close to Santa Cruz de la Sierra looks like. And that's when the water level is low Next year this nice attraction will be over as a bridge is being constructed. Until then the "ferry" is the only option, for which one has to pay $20... or 20L of fuel and $5 like we did

@atomicshawn, you made me commit one of seven deadly sins: ENVY!!!!!!!!!

After Tent Rocks we were looking for a place to camp overnight. Super nice park ranger who was a native of the area recommended hills above Cochiti Lake. The area had burned twice in the last decade. Flash floods wiped out roads. We made our way up the Chiquito Rio canyon. Pretty technical in a couple of spots. Lots of deadfall, erosion, boulders on the "trail". Camped at 35.709709, -106.400725. An eerily beautiful place... in a post-apocalyptic sort of way. Made an impression on us all (especially the kids) about being super cautious with fire, and that camp fire is out cold.

Not quite as beautiful as the scenary the rest of you guys are posting but we went down to Arkansas to float on the buffalo river this past weekend. The 80 handled all the hills and switchbacks very well given the fact we were loaded down with four guys, two coolers, and all the stuff four guys would bring.

@Onefastrx7turbo Is this recent? I was in Telluride in early June last year and there was still a ton of snow, while the PNW was in the middle of the hottest "winter" in history.
