**Rickashay's Camping & 4WD Adventure Thread**
With my goal of being back on the forum more (and less on IG) in 2021, I've been trying to get my build thread up to date HERE. In doing so, I thought I might as well split off my 4WD trips and keep my build thread, focused more on the truck build and it's maintenance.
Sorry for the partial overlap on my recent build thread posts, but as I wrap my head around this, I think having a separate thread makes sense. I don't get out as much as I used to with a baby, new business, and another new venture in the works but still.... I basically take pictures/video for a living, so why the hell not?! ;)
Because I'm feeling a little anxious lately with all the COVID travel restrictions, let's start by reminiscing about our Utah 2019 trip.
Enjoy!

First time on the red rocks with the Duster 2... felt good.

Yup, that'll do Utah. That'll do.

Then it was time for a couple days in Moab.
We were stoked to run some trails (duh).
_08I2680.jpg by Tamarack, on Flickr
We even met up with this other random dude we met on the forums
@ Flemster
(lol)
_08I2686.jpg by Tamarack, on Flickr
_08I2706.jpg by Tamarack, on Flickr
Then I picked a bad line and my aluminum skidplate buckled (yes, I know aluminum isn't as strong as steel - more on this later) and smashed the corner of my radiator.
_08I2713.jpg by Tamarack, on Flickr
Then we fixed my truck and hung out by a fire for a couple days just bullshitting. It was unexpected and ended up being totally awesome and relaxing. Great hanging with good people, especially when you don't see them all the time!
So we parted ways with this final image:

Bringing big value back to T4R.ORG with this type of post. Awesome!
Edit - ^^^^ my post sounded hella dumb from a noob like me now that I am more familiar with your illustrious history.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Get after it. Can’t express how much the “big” 4WD trips make a lasting effect. They are the ones we always talk and reminisce about, years down the road. Hell, you’re even close (ish) to Moab.

Time to get this thread caught up.
Summer 2020
As we all very well know, COVID certainly changed a lot of plans this summer. We made lemonade from lemons and did quite a few trips this summer right in our own backyard.
The following was a trip with my family and some good friends. We made basecamp at one of our favorite camp spots, a spot that my wife and I first discovered on our honeymoon road-trip. We've been going back every summer (multiple times) for the past 5 years. Some of the best trips (in my opinion) are the ones when you are doing a variety of things out of the truck - camping, hiking, 4WD, and lots of down time.

Always a fan of your photography! Stellar stuff! Just bought an old Nikon D7000 and hope to get some good shots this year. I'll keep checking back here for inspiration.
