My first offroading trip to Tahoe National Forest
1997 T4R Limited. I haven't even owned it for a month yet. Stock everything (except windshield wipers ;) )

This place was great. 60 miles of off roading less than an hour from Sacramento. It was raining off and on throughout the day, so most trails were closed. We still had a great time though.

The Suspension Bridge




Haha, the camera was balancing on 2 inches of steel; facing death into the river if it fell:


Snow?









We Had such a great time. I spent a lot of time researching trails, conditions, gear, tools, and advice; a lot of it came from the members on this forum. Thank you for that.

My GF took most of the pics, so thanks to her as well!

I hope you guys enjoyed the scenery!

I definitely have the itch to go offroading again. I'd like to go back to that place, but I am definitely interested in trying some other trails as well. Stay in touch and we can figure something out.

Well it's a she (I'm a dude, and yes my name is Kelly). But either way, you're right, that's why she is an ex haha

Great pics! Who's the photographer; you or her? Either way some of the 'action shots' are great; actually they're all very nice!

Looks like a blast and congrats on the sweet lookin 3rd gen...
