Lance playin' in the sand

Each year our club goes on a couple of snow runs and this one seems to be a staple. The video is from dash cam, or my viewpoint (behind the windshield)... FSR 1302 is located in Yakima County, WA off of Hwy 12.

My first attempt to summit on Raven's Roost Nov 24th, 2012. Squashed with backgound tunes... 22 mins down from 96 minutes of film. We made it up but grenaded the front pumpkin (R&P) on the way down. Still a great time to be Livin4Today! Tunes included; Country Boy - Aaron Lewis Somethin' 'Bout A Truck - Kip Moore This Afternoon - Nickelback Country Song - Seether Whistle - Flo Rida Good Life - One Republic

Freeze Your Buns Run 2014 Every year the Peak Putters hold a run called Freeze Your Buns Run, where we run Raven's Roost, in the Naches area. This year we had 4 rigs run with us, although we ran one in the ground the first night. Luckily we had another buddy show up and run a nicely put together Toyota 4 Runner. There was also another group that left before us, that had 4 rigs, but somehow we never crossed paths. We hope you enjoy the compilation. The music is by an Australian artist (Juzzie Smith), and one man band. Thanks Juzzie for the use of The Keys, and Do Right.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving RS 4x4s held their annual Xmas Tree snow run up near Tollgate OR. We had 14 vehicles show up for a fun day in the snow. This is footage from my old faithful action cam (OC), that will be compared to another newer dash cam that I installed, in a subsequent video, so keep an eye out for it in the next few days. For more info about the run and stills we might have check out https://livin4today.com #Livin4Today because nobody is promised tomorrows!

A full day's snow run, near Kittitas with Eastern Washington Jeeps! This was my second trip up, 13 rigs this trip caused some pretty slow going for the day, but still better than being at a JOB! There is some carnage in this one, including a rear window and my Matt's Off-Road Recovery Rope. There's a knot to be removed, with are probably 3 or 4 pulls since it knotted, it's tight...

#Sat. 2/16/19 - Shaking down Julia's replacement front axle, and some snow fun. Traction was horrible but we still had a great time.

Our annual July trip to Rimrock, on Saturday 6 rigs took the 1000 rd to Butcher Knife or 642, to Divide Ridge 615, to Donniker Pass 636 to Blue Lake for lunch. After lunch, we continued on the 636 to Short & Dirty 637, then dropped off on Chicken Soup 639, then called it a day. On Sunday the remaining 4 of us, ventured through Pickle Prairie 609, then Louie Way/ Gap 608, and ran up to the top for lunch. On our way out we ran by Lost Lake, the proceeded to pick-up the remainder of Pickle Prairie Loop 609A. Ed found us some yet "unlabeled" trails, that were quite fun, and we were back to camp by 3:00 pm..

All good things must come to an end and so it is with the Dirt Lifestyle Patreon run with Nate & Shaun. It was an awesome experience to be part of, and I'm thankful my wife talked me into going! I hope I was successful in capturing the best bits of video that I took (across the three parts), and translating the experience, we all enjoyed. Thanks for watching!

Every year a bunch of our club members do a run up Darland Mountain, and tagged it Camp Schamp. Here is a video of some of what we got up to on Saturday, April 12th in 3 parts... The video is shot in real time using an iPhone 4s, an Olympus DSLR, and a LIC Egg cam. Music used in the making of this video , is background music we were listening to while filming and driving. We hope you enjoy it and will share it with others, we think it's some of our best work (video) yet. So please feel free to chime in and let us know how we're doing...

So with all breakage, there comes the fix, this short video explains how we got Julia back on the road within two days...

Well part one ended in a cliff hanger, but as you'll see it wasn't the end of my trip. Follow along for the rest of our day in the glorious snow...

Part 3 This was a club run from Eastern Washington down to the infamous Rubicon Trail in June of 2014. Any music playing in the background was music we purchased and listened to while wheeling.

#Part 3 Since Ms. Mandi & I have had enough Sand for awhile decided to cruise to Darland Mt. again. The objective this time is to complete said run during DAYLIGHT hours without mechanical difficulties. On 11/17/12 JK Lance, Ms. Mandi, Syler (the dog), and 80_yoda (Aaron) set out to run the mountain up the North fork, over and back down the Middle Fork, this depicts just some of the fun we had. ENJOY!

After a wonderful hot dog roast and fire, the daylight was gonna get off the hill faster than us. So we packed up for a dark descent. Finally dropping out around 7-7:30 pm. Then we had to make for home, I had 2 hours, the Spokane folks had 3. Thanks for watching!

RattleSnake 4x4s along with #UsingTheForceOffRoad, decided to make a 3rd attempt at besting our earlier high mark back in mid January. Little did we know Colockum would bite back early...

Being a full day's snow run (near Kittitas with Eastern Washington Jeeps!), our last episode left us with a knotted kinetic rope, and still pushing farther up the mountain. This episode we pick up where we left off, and gets us to our late lunch, after the deep snow beat us down. Truthfully, of the 13 rigs, only 4 possibly 5 were set up for deep snow, the rest would have to follow the tracks to keep from sinking. So far all of us are running under our own power, but will we all make to lunch, let alone off the mountain remains to be seen.
