AvaLance off-roading adventure updated w/pics

[AvaLance]

Well yesturday Kyle, Justin and I went up on some road in Mt. Emily the largest Mt. in La Grande. I parked my AV off to the side of the main road because some of these roads were 4x4 trails and you needed a lift to go up them. I did get some pic to share with all of you heavy off-roaders. If you want some major off-roading this is the place to do it. There is also a road (we did not go down) called "ruff and rocky" that you most likly would need a winch for. ?Ok time for some pics.

Here is a pic of one of the roads this is not the 4x4 trail yet but still is a bad road (bad=Fun) ?there are man other roads that would need a lift and 4x4.

edit by brmiller: added some periods and I don't think you really need a "wench" to get out of "ruff and rocky"...

Thanks BRMiller it was just a quit post

Here is a pic of the Grand Round Valley from the top of Mt. Emily the Highest point in the valley. The elavation is 6,000 and some odd feet high

Here is a Pic of Kyle (red hat) and Justin on a large rock on top of Mt. emily I think this area would be great to do a 4x4 Av cruise on one day

Here is a pic of Kyle and Justin climbing up a large rock pile

Kyle driving through a pond and you thought I was crazy for driving tought puddles

Here is just a very cool sunset it was a bit hazy that day but if you looked close you could see the top of Mt. Hood about 257 miles away (you could just see the out line)

 

[AvaLance]

Here is one more of the easyer road I will get some more pics of the harder roads next time I go up So what do you guys think would this be a fun off-road GTG or what

 

[AvaLance]

I should have some more pics today I think we are going up a different road after he gets off work I will be driving my AV but I will not drive over the heavy stuff.

I don't know who brmiler is - I assume he/she's a moderator. But please stay away from my posts with your editing! I don't need any moderator going into my posts to add/correct punctuation nor do I want someone highlighting a typo ("wench" instead of "winch"). There's got to be a better use of your time here on the boards than being an (unwanted in my case) English teacher!

I'm sure you meant well but stay out, please.

For the [public] record, I had Lance's permission to edit his post. Moreover, I would never (nor would any moderator) edit a post of anyone's without discussing it with them privately first, unless it was a ToS violation. My only regret is that I should have been more subtle and not drawn attention to the edit.

In the future, I suggest that if anyone has problems with a moderator action, they first contact the moderator privately to discuss the issue, rather than air it publicly. In any event, I'm sorry that fewer people know me as a moderator and that I mean no harm. I guess I'll have to get out more.

As to the use of my time, I believe I'm still in charge of that.

Have a nice day!
