Delicat taking some driving tips from his co-pilot.
The dusky sunset reflecting the reforestation methods of days gone by.
Emerging from the bush.
Sunday morning @ six hours. Normally I would be making a fire but due to regulations I took pictures and made tea instead.
Later that day I am following the DinoEvo up to pastures green.

Yet more pictures again
The grass is truly greener in this pasture.
No yellow stuff here.
It's a great big sky at two thousand metres.
Winding amidst the copses.
It's Heaven up here in the Elysium Fields.

Entering the gulley.
On the Wells Lake Road.
Parked out front of an old cabin.
It's a fixer-upper ~ needs a little chinking.

Nice pics.
How many more reasons do you need? great offroading, a large Delica/Pajero community, the ocean, the mountains....what else do you need?

Looks like it was an amazing trip guys. Awesome photos taken. Damn I'd love to join you guys if there was another trip in the future. Would there be room for a 400 to join the caravan?

P.S. If I could have deleted the butterfly from this otherwise terrifically appropriate animoto theme, I would have. I'm sure that our collective manhood can handle it.

Nice little video. BTW, did you go up Lamont Creek FSR too? Hudson Bay Meadows use to be a favorite of mine until they push a road right by it.

Wow, nice job, Rich! That is a classy little work of art.
We came across Lamont FSR while traversing a deactivated FSR and we left Lamont on a deactivated FSR ~ Only to come across a newer extension of it that was not on our maps. When the Lamont sign photo was taken we had come to a crossroads with a sign saying "NT ->"; Rich got out of his Delica and walked over to the sign post to find another sign laying face down on the ground that read "LAMO".
