This weekend I went on the Idaho State 4x4 Association's event run. We camped at Nat-Soo-Pah hot springs/campground. I could only go on the trail on Friday. It was near Salmon Falls Creek Reservoir/Jarbridge (about 1-15mi from the NV border). Here are some pics:

On the way there, we stopped at Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, ID

Salmon Falls Creek Dam and a view of area we were in (looking S toward NV):

^this was actually a more cleaned up area that we went thru.

large branch hitched a ride and scratched the crap outta my hatch.

I learned that shale is EVIL when going down a steep decline at 3.13 gearing!

Overall had some body damage from smashing driver corner on a rock (those Jeepers made AWFUL spotters) and bowing out my hatch a bit. Guess I'm lucky I didnt bust out my rear window, too.
