Today was the maiden voyage for the blazer, and for my gold prospecting. I have been pretty much working on this blazer for the last several months for trips to the mountain, gold hunting. This was the first time I have taken the ol' blazer outside the city and it did rather well, it didn't strand me. Well, since I was driving solo on this trip there wasn't too much 4x4, just enough mud to make it look good. I got the truck dirty but struck out on and color in my pan, no worries, the whole idea is about getting to the wilderness. Here are a few pics from the trip and my truck~

My 92 blazer, I caught some crap for the safety orange strap holding the spare, I just laughed.




I had planned on making this an overnight trip, that's why the tire is on top, but when I got to the collawash river I could see the snow line about 100 feet up - no way was I waking up with an ice cream headache.



I was really looking forward to seeing how this truck lays out for sleeping in, for sure next trip.



These pictures are from Mt hood national forest, clackamas and the collawash rivers. It was a little wet for my taste also, man this forest is always damp.

 

Nice truck, nice pics.
