Exploring the Tongass national forest. Found a shelf road above the Salmon glacier. Got a bit gnarly when we encountered a rock slide, but the challenge was well worth the views.

That Jimny is Awesome. This year I upgraded my silver Jimny to a Santorini D90.

Just traded my 23 90 2.0l for a 25 90 3.0l. When I realized Land Rover dropped the 2l & 3l in the 90 configuration, it was time to upgrade !

Got crazy smoky from a forest fire today

An aborted hike and we turned for home

This trail is a popular snow wheeling area in a couple of months time. Might be worth a look then.

The bridge has seen better days

'twas an interesting expedition.

Had an Apocalypse (Light) on the second day, saw that an Apocalypse (Medium) was underway, decided that we were not quite ready for that version of it with our setup and bailed. Ran into some really sticky mud on the way back, reportedly, the car washes in Page, AZ are full of it. We were told that if you let it stay until it dries... well, it stays with you for a bit longer. To give you an idea, that mud on last two photos from the first set survived a five hour drive; I almost missed the grace period. Also, for whatever reason, that mud paints your tires blue-green. Must be copper in there somewhere. Also, if you're still considering the RAI, note the splash pattern - this (fine mist) is one of the worst use cases your intake may encounter, the other being moon dust.

BIG FAT DISCLAIMER: The first set of photos is mine, the second is a subset of someone else's album which they generously gave permission to share. Theirs is better.

...and the third set is still being processed.

@Vadiable Paradox

Wow. Just amazing

Amazing looking place to explore and camp. Great shots.

Nice chance to see how much dust actually got into your air-box with the car being so new. Pop out that filter and give it the whack test. I'm not convinced the RAI would add any non-negligible benefits.

There is some mud on the trails near me like that. Stains the tyres brown and leaves marks on the gloss trim round the lower sections of the cars. Lovely photos!
