2016 Overland & 4x4 Adventures / Event ideas!
« on: February 07, 2016, 12:29:46 PM »
ZUKIWORLD Enthusiasts - It's time (maybe past time) to get the 2016 adventuring started. We've certainly got some ideas but are wondering what you would like to see/do this year?

Let's hear it. What'd ya got?

What about a "hot springs" tour?  Lots of good rural hot springs in Oregon. 
Maybe something similar with dry lakebeds?  Ghost towns?  Abandoned mines?  Waterfalls?

I just got back from a week running the trails around Moab, Utah.  There's something for everyone there from easy to EXTREMELY difficult. More of a springtime, fall ride though, it gets pretty toasty in the summer.  Some of the most beautiful country you will ever see.
88 Suzuki Samurai, 6.5:1 Trail Gear T-Case, Stage 2 clutch, Weber 32/36 Carb (problematic). Everything else is stock.

And I found this route that covers from Oregon to British Columbia http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/WABDR.  I know some of the areas that this passes through, and it would be easy to modify route to run a trail in Rimrock, or even Moon Rocks areas.  This would have to be more of a summer trip, as snow levels are hard to predict.
