    Central Oregon Wolf Spotted

    Just saw this post. There's been a pair above Mitchell around Bear Creek for a while. Had one cross in front of me on HWY 26 last year right before elk season. Reported it to ODFW and they confirmed that they're here.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Spent the day with the wife out in the Central Oregon desert testing out the the upgrades to the pickup. Went to some cool obsidian flows that ran for hundreds of yards through the hills and just enjoyed being away and in the quiet. Not another person as far as you can see. An...

    2012 Ram 1500 facelift

    The new exhaust is installed and been put through a heat cycle and re-tightened. The Magnaflow system was definitely worth the extra cost. Nice low rumble but not too loud and no highway drone. Everything fit like it was supposed and took abut an hour the cut the old out and install the new...

    Overland/emergency prep...

    My thought process is to be prepared in stages: A- All the time, B- Daily, C- Should there be some sort of disaster - natural or otherwise. A- Whenever legal I always carry a folding knife. My coats and jackets all have a short piece (5' ) of paracord, a book of matches and a tube of...

    2012 Ram 1500 facelift

    My new Tom Wood's front driveline showed up today. Looks like it will hold up better than the OE's have. I am on number 3 and found out the boot was torn on the upper joint when I pulled it out. These things don't last on a lifted truck.

    Fly Fishing

    Fly fishing is kind of my Zen time. I wish I had more time to do it. Started over 40 years ago with my best friend (still one of my closest fishing and hunting friends) and I'm still not good at it! LOL Love the Owyhee, my younger sister leaves in Adrian OR, so it's a good excuse to visit and...

    What boots do members wear

    I was a devout Danner fan. I wore the soles out on multiple pairs of Pronghorns on the Eastern Oregon lava rocks. But since they quit building them in Portland, the quality is not what it used to be, the uppers fall apart before the soles are wore out. Went to a set of Merrell Moab 2 w/8" tops...

    2012 Ram 1500 facelift

    Had big plans to get more done on the Ram this weekend And woke up to this on Saturday morning. So by noon it was 50 degrees and was able to make some progress. This is the bolt that attaches the bottom of the strut to the lower control arm. Nasty corrosion and this truck is only 6 years...

    Ram 2500 too big for Oregon

    Welcome to Oregon. Portlandia "proper" can be a little much but having lived in both the western and eastern parts of the state there are plenty of good people and good trails everywhere. In over 30 years of wheeling and enjoying our back country, I have never had anything but a full size rig...

    In rig holsters?

    Here's the holster that floats between my vehicles, camp trailer and my boat. It's an inexpensive tac vest holster with a mag pouch that I keep a folding knife in. I took a piece of nylon strap and sewed a piece to my seat cover, attached another one to the console in another vehicle and piece...

    Looking forward to the trip. We are located in Prineville, so it's a convenient start point for us. Also have a pretty well equipped home shop should anyone need any last minute fixes.
