I was in Nevada last weekend, and I found a great off-road trail. It started off as a dirt road, but slowly deteriorated over the course of about 3 miles. When it finally broke down to an iffy quad trail, I decided enough was enough and turned around.

This trail had everything - passages between trees tight enough to push the mirrors back, part of the road was washed out (massive articulation - had to put it in low range and granny to go slow enough, body creaking like mad the whole time), even a couple of inches of mud from recent rains. The trail at one point sloped so steeply that stuff was falling off the dash onto the floor.

I made it in and out in about two hours, and I don't think the truck so much as lost it's footing once.

The interesting part was that I found out later on in the day that my 4x4 wasn't working. :eek:

If I had gotten stuck, it would have been a long walk out.

Long live the Bronco!

sounds like fun. just wait till the coolers in back fall up to the drivers seat:thumbup

sounds like a fun trail where ya at so the others can look into that trail

It was off US-50, about 10 miles east of Austin. The trail turned off the road to the north. There was a fork right at the turnoff, I went right.

There's also a really cool desert hardpan about 30 miles away on NV-722. You can't miss it from the road. It's f'ing HUGE. 10 miles in every direction. I was on it right after it rained a little bit. You can guess what happened next.

I threw it in 4x4, and spent 20 minutes doing donuts and slides in the mud. This was before the 4x4 broke. :)

When I was done, the mud was CAKED on to the roof. Took $5 in quarters at the car wash to get it all off. What a blast! :)

sweet last december i did a run out that way with vegas valley 4 wheelers and the grim jeepers
