Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing. Looked like a great trip. Wish we got back to the old days when there was no one on the trails for miles.

Curious when you started 4x4explorer vs these photos. I was learning how to do the SYE conversions , and cruise control with a bike shifter. .
Great pics !
.Great pics !
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any going back. The internet and social whores have ruined it forever.
Hard for even me to believe but I started 4X4XPLOR.com toward the end of 1997.Curious when you started 4x4explorer vs these photos. I was learning how to do the SYE conversions , and cruise control with a bike shifter.

FALL COLORS CAMPING TRIP IN THE SIERRA'S
Here are a few pics of camping trip we did up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains to soak in the fall colors. On this trip, our good friends Yvonne and Eddie and Matt, a friend from our Isuzu days and as you will see, he was rocking an old VehiCROSS.
After meeting up in Lone Pine, we started our adventure by taking a loop through the Alabama Hills.
We then headed north to get up into the mountains.
It didn't take long for the landscape to come alive with fire.
Love diving through all the color.
As some of you have seen, we were hear back on the 4th of July and what a difference a few months can make.
Moving on and heading to our camp site and with awesome views every which way you looked.
It was hard not to keep stopping and just staring at the beauty.
The views from up here are to die for.
Decided to do a short hike out to a small glacier to play on.
On the move again and heading to camp.
And here we are, home for the weekend.
Unfortunately, that's all the pics I had from this trip and more than likely because I ran out of floppy disks and or ran out of batteries. In any case, I hope you enjoyed seeing this blast from the past and the fall colors in all it's 1028x768 XGA resolution

Looks like an awesome trip for sure...pictures are amazing
The year was 2001 and Sony released the most amazing consumer level digital camera made of its time and it was known as, the Cybershot DSC-F707. If you can believe it, this thing had a whopping 5 Megapixels resolution, a 5x optical (10x digital) Carl Zeiss zoom lens, it could see in the dark, had a distinctive L-shaped body design that allowed it to break in the middle and twist up or down to help get you to capture low or high shots with ease and now, it saved its much larger images onto a small, proprietary Sony Memory Stick.
Needless to say, this digital camera effectively replaced our trusty ol' Mavica FD-91 and the pics you'll now see on this thread will have been taken with it

EXPLORING THE MOJAVE DESERT
One of the first trips we went on with our all new Sony Cybershot F707, was out to a part of the Mojave Desert that Cindy and I loved (unfortunately, it is no longer open to vehicular traffic) and because of it's unique and colorful rock formations. And, as luck would have it, we had a few of our wheeling friends join us including Dave and Karen in their gen 1 Nissan Pathfinder, Matt in his Isuzu Vehicross and Vince and his family in his 4-banger TJ.
Here we are after hopping off the pavement and airing down.
Wiggling our way through a narrow canyon in this beautiful mountain range.
Making a stop to check things out on foot.
Time to go higher up.
Back at our rigs and time for some lunch.
With the sun getting lower in the sky and shadows starting to creep in, it was time to move on.
It's hard to imagine now but just a couple of decades ago, ranchers still ran cattle out here.
Some of you will recognize where we're at in these pics.
Time to get our feet wet.
And of course, the final water crossing before we came to the end of the trail.
Unfortunately, Memory Sticks weren't cheap back then and so I had to limit the amount of pics I could take. Needless to say, that's all the pics I have for this trip but I hope you enjoyed the few I posted up and the slightly higher quality of them
