I went back, this time with some accomplices, to Joyce Lake and beyond. Pechuck Lookout (4,338 ft) is Oregon’s only remaining stone fire lookout, open for day visits and first-come, first-served overnight stays. Moderate-to-strenuous hikes (e.g., ~5-mile round-trip from Rooster Rock Trailhead)...

When I first saw this on Facebook I thought there was no way it wouldn't bounce around and pull out of the dash or at least the phone would pop off. For reference I bought their previous accessory rail and sent it back as the phone wobbled too much. Turns out that little 1/4-20 in the dash is...

I have made multiple attempts to reach this lake and each time I was stopped by snow. I finally smarted up enough to go in June. :crazy:

Back in January of 2025 we went and played in the snow between Hood River, Oregon and Mt. Hood. The goal was to get to Mt. Defiance, a 5000 ft mountain that overlooks the Columbia Gorge. You can see that video and report here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/hood-river-snow-day.107784/...

I spent a pleasant day exploring Clatsop State Forest in Oregon's Coast Range. I drove the Bronco along some scenic roads and stopped to check out a few quieter spots, including the trails near Flat Iron Mountain, Bloom Lake, and Lost Lake. The weather was clear and sunny, which made for nice...

Photo by @ArtHughes It was time to get out again with the Bronco Boys. This time we had someone tag along with us. While the weather was miserable that didn't get us down. The views were bleak but the roads were fun and we wandered around until we got tired. We had been in these areas before...

I had a few minutes to kill today and I wanted to check out the new dash in comparison to my 2023. I immediately noticed the 2 door BaseSquatch. I love the wheels (although I don't know how heavy they are). This would be a great second Bronco if I was actually that rich. But would I consider...

Despite a daunting weather forecast, we set out to explore the newly reopened areas of Santiam State Forest in Oregon. Our first stop was Butte Creek Falls, both cascades flowing vibrantly thanks to recent rainfall. From there, we continued to Rhody Lake, an area recently accessible again after...

I love this basket. I keep all kinds of crap up there. I use it to hang my Midlands mic, stash flashlights and most importantly, some hand sanitizer. https://mountains2metal.com/over-head-squatch-basket-fits-2021-ford-bronco/ But there is one failure. If you want to take your front panels off...

We hit several spots along Lolo Pass. I had seen something on the map called Tilly Jane, no idea what that was. That led us to Cloud Cap. Again no idea what that was. Just spectacular! We could have called it a day but we went on to Bennett Pass. Turns out we had to rescue some kids who had...

I headed back out again to the Mt. Jefferson area to do some more exploring with Will and Mike. We found Breitenbush Cascades, a series of waterfalls over 1000 ft tall, which may be the tallest in Oregon. But due to the terrain I don't think it's been fully surveyed. I then spent the night on...

This is my take on the excellent design by @RHeinz https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/starlink-mini-installed-for-remote-camping.106167/ I'm not sure if this will be my final design but I had all of the components sitting around. Don't ask why I have spare 1in wide steel in my inventory...

I spent the last couple days exploring the Mt. Jefferson area in Oregon. We found some amazing lakes and camped at the base of the mountain. I can't wait to go back and explore some more.

A spontaneous trip to the Cascade Volcanos was planned when Art announced a Mt. Adams adventure starting Thursday, with Adam joining Friday evening. The group met in Cascade Locks and headed to Trout Lake, aiming to explore lakes and waterfalls. Despite mosquito challenges at Chain of Lakes and...

We tackled the King of the Hill trail at Diamond Mill OHV using onX Offroad, and the view from the top was absolutely worth the climb. From there, we headed north toward the Salmonberry River, as close as the trail allowed, soaking in the desolate yet stunning scenery. Continuing west to Buck...

Started in Cascade Locks, Oregon at the Bridge of the Gods. Drove across the bridge and east on Highway 14 in Washington to the unmarked Spirit Falls trailhead on Little White Salmon National Fish Hatchery land. Hiked a tough 1-mile round-trip trail, descending 500 feet over rocky terrain, to...

For my birthday, I set out to visit waterfalls in and around Santiam State Forest, joined by my friend Mike. We traded our usual motorcycles for the Bronco this time. First up was Abiqua Falls, which required a challenging hike—really more of a climb—down a steep, rope-assisted trail. We reached...

Yes, you can buy one. Yes, it will be expensive.

Santiam State Forest is now open from the north end (south of Molalla). I had tried to get there last year and it was gated off as they were recovering from the fire damage from 2022. We made it to the top of Panther Rock (4300ft) for an amazing view. The last part of the road is a little steep...
