Although the BLM warning of "your vehicle will get scratched by vegetation" certainly brought my excitement level down a few notches :(
Yes, I could take my 2003 Honda CRV instead of the 2014 Subaru Outback. Both cars have a high clearance but are not 4x4. The CRV is dented from tree limbs falling on it so it is a perfect trailhead car.

I wish I was able to keep my 'ole 1999 Subaru Outback as a trailhead car when I got my new truck. That thing was perfect. Nobody would want to break into it, and I would just plow through vegetation. The silver color never showed any scratches.

Okay...
So who made it and wants to lead the rest of us this season?

And not that OPB trip where they go when there's no water. D'Oh! All that work......

Is this one of those off trail places we don't want to tell anyone about?

(just trying to be trouble-maker, don't encourage me with a response)

When the video has been up on OPB for a couple years I don't think we can be assigned any blame for whatever would happen should someone see it here. I don't think our reach is quite that far...lol...

You'd be surprised.. I know someone said the viewing to this site has sky rocketed recently. I've been seeing a huge increase in people referring to Oregon Hikers on a hiking Facebook page now (group size of 16,000+). Maybe they don't check these forums. Maybe they just go for the field guides.. who knows. But they're out there ;)
