Went to Badger Lake in the Mount Hood National Forest to fish with my daughter. I need to take more time to trim the overgrowth back from the trail, I got some pretty significant pin stripes.

Would like to post some photos, keep getting “file too large” message from iPhone photos. Any tips?
Edit the photos to resize them smaller before uploading.

I took a trip to Southern Utah and climbed from Vegas to 9,800' with a full load of all my gear. I've got a weight set for exercising, 10 gallons of gas, 5 gal diesel, 18 gallons of water and a bunch of other heavy stuff. The LR4 needed 4th gear at 80 MPH to climb a few grades on the highway. Still had plenty of power, but I had visions of the new Land Rover Octa if I wanted to pass. It used 1/2 quart of oil to get here and it made 15 MPG (14.9) calculated by hand to Cedar City which was impressive, but that didn't count the climb from Cedar City to Duck Creek Village which is 40 MPH and 8% grade.
I went exploring and hit the steepest hill I've climbed so far. It went fully locked and had some front tire slippage but kept the momentem. The pics don't show depth perception very well, it is steeper than it looks in reality
I found another trail that was very narrow with lots of technical sections. Up ahead where it can't be seen in the picture the terrain was pretty challenging because I needed to trim bushes and the slopes were severe. I hiked as far as I was comfortable and there weren't any turn arounds. I was going to back down at first but felt the challenge to turn left in front of the LR4 in the pic and over the downed trees. There was some front tire slippage but it kept going so I didn't lift and made the turn around just fine. Before getting out I was sweating it wondering what I got myself into lol. It started raining too. It doesn't look like the LR4 is at much of an angle but believe me it is.
On my way out of the trail head I stopped to see if there was a trail number and found the no jeeps sign so I gave back my man card lol. If I was with someone else or had recovery gear I might have went for it but it was just too risky.

It's a full-sized BajaRack. I love it. Was going back and forth between that and Voyager low-profile. I felt the Baja made a statement while the Voyager was understated. I decided to go big or go home, and I'm glad I did.
