Back to my campsite, didn't spend a whole lot of time here :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday (and that's the last of keeping track lol)

 

 

 

 

The big fire :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last morning before breaking down camp. :)

Trillium can also lay dormant for up to 7 years before flowering again. I worked for a restoration company in Portland that hired a lot of kids out of college, and one crew that was all college kids took down hundreds of them without realizing what they were (these were all botany and horticulture majors...) and they ended up having to pay a big fine for it.

 

Also cool trip, looks like that'd be a great time!

No comment about the different hood? :confused:

No comment about the different hood? :confused:

 

 

1lo620 gave me his louvered hood from his choptop. He didn't like the louvers and could take the hood when he moved to Minnesota. 

 

I don't know why I don't have any good pics of his truck....

 

 

 

I couldn't pass it up. Then, after last summers eastern WA trip and running a bit warm. I figured I would pull it out of the shed and see if it makes a difference. Seems to be good air flow through the louvers when parked and I am digging the look, so it will probably stay on until winter.   :)

[q-tip]

Some beautiful country you got up to, digging the flames and louvers!

He sent me a few. :)

 

 

 

 

It's pretty hammered now, some kid in a ranger side swiped him. He still has it though and is hoping to get a set of doors re chopped.

Thanks man. 

 

Here's a couple pics hobo took. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently they turn pink and then purple over time.   :cool:

 

 

[hobospyder]

best weekend this year, only thing that could have made it better would be my daughter coming along (maybe) and/or a bunkmate

[]2eDeYe]

Thanks for coming out, hopefully you can join us on some other outings in the shitbox. :D

 

 

 

 

I just noticed that in this pic, Dave's chop top is parked right next to Icehouse's green 620 that eventually became this build thread :lol:

 

[Charlie69]

More great times and pictures!  Thank you for sharing.  Are you going to paint the truck to match your neww hood?

[]2eDeYe]

You are welcome. There should be some more coming whenever Nuff is done decompressing :lol:

 

 

Truck will stay green, it matches the woods too well. :D

[hobospyder]

I could probably upload some but they would mostly just be scenery, the couple I have of this vehicle have been shared already

[Charlie69]

Scenery is good!  I live in the desert as do many other members.

[hobospyder]

for you charlie i'll upload some, but i'll drop them into the camping porn thread here: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/71210-camping-porn-royal-sierras-scenery/?p=1492742

[]2eDeYe]

Fuck photobucket...testing 1 2 green 

 

[q-tip]

Test complete, green verified.

[hobospyder]

definitely green

[]2eDeYe]

Now for the seemingly insurmountable task of re-uploading and re-linking of  all my pics.... :huh:

[]2eDeYe]

Ok, now that I have a new picture host lets get back to it. :)
 
 
A long time buddy of mine asked me to go fishing with him to help fill up a freezer for the annual fish fry that he puts on. So I loaded up the 4x4 and headed to Neah Bay. 
 
 
Just before leaving I had to address  the leaky steering box. The box came from pick n pull, I had bought a rebuilt unit from trail gear that is tapped for a hydraulic ram in case I go to bigger tires next time. 













Then I was off to the coast via the Edmonds Ferry 








 

 

 

My buddies boat is pretty sweet. 

 

 

 

This thing reminded me of some Datsuns I know, still in service too. :D

 

 

 

Another buddy brought his boat as well, not as nice as the other one, but better than my boat lol.

 

 

 

Caught a Lingcod
 

 

 

and a Cabezon, this was the 2nd biggest fish of the weekend at 32 1/2", the biggest was a 35 1/2" lingcod pulled into the boat by my buddies girl. :cool:

Shit Steve, throw on a light weight camper or a roof tent and it's ready to be an over landing Instagram sensation.

[]2eDeYe]

I'm in the market for a small camper trailer :)

[Lockleaf]

 

With a lift on it, of course.

[]2eDeYe]

That's a little small :rofl: 

[Lockleaf]

I'm pretty sure those come in extra tall. Just saying...
