About time I get my Adventure thread going on here...
Well guys here is the start of the new adventure thread, I went out on Monday with 3 other Xterra's all of which were 2nd Gen Night Armors ...and 1 jeep who was friends with one of the X owners. The plan was to go all the way around the Great Salt Lake. Here we all are meeting at the Flying J gas station in Tooele... From left to right maXTERRA, KUMA, Blind_Io, Sindicatex, and not sure the jeeps name.
After fueling up we headed for the bombing range, a military base that has 1 road through a live fire range (they close it off when they are doing runs with the jets), this is where we aired down
Next onto the causeway, we stopped to let a train past and it was sure freezing cold when it did
This picture was wayyyyyy over exposed so know that I played with it in photoshop just to show the scenery and liked the way it looked after
We stopped at the Pumps (these were built to move water from when the Great Salt Lake started overflowing one year back quite a number years ago and really haven't been used since... just every once in a while they fire them up and keep them ready)
While we were hanging out and resting for a bit a few of us talked out in the cold
We noticed they put huge amounts of grease in the sections where the cement is, dunno why really but wasn't tar like I thought it was originally
Just about to head out, we go north from here and head towards some cool look outs!
The first look out we got to was this little peak, I am starting to get better at the stitching pictures together... this is two pics I took and stitched together manually not bad without a tripod!
Over looking the Great Salt Lake which is very very low at this time!
I got a few shots of each the trucks like this but I figured I would show maXTERRA's custom bumper here
Next I switched to my zoom lense (55 to 200 mm) and snapped this of the little islands out there, it's interesting because this picture without any photoshop you can't see anything because of the bad inversion but with a little adjustment it looks amazing I think
Dog!
Looking back to your right you see The Newfoundland Mountains which is one of favorite places to explore and is pretty remote!
Next up to the next destination, here is Justin about to reach the turn off
Blind_Io looking at me like "What?"
Jeep caught up!
The grass was pretty golden it was really nice but still not much color out there... The sky looks great in the pictures but it was pretty gray in some areas.
Hanging out for a moment
These are Pathy rim's that are stealthed, I like it!
More pictures to come later!
