A bit disappointed with my photos. Did too much driving and didn't get time to take enough. We did about 10 hours of driving on Saturday. I have a few scratchy windscreen videos from my phone. They need editing to just show a few relevant bits, might get them up tomorrow. This is about all my remotely useful photos:

Going from the track sign down to the crossing for Deep Creek No.1 Track.

Going through the crossing and climbing out for Deep Creek No.1 Track. The crossing itself was pretty cool. We drove along the creek bed for quite a distance, almost like driving through a small tunnel. There was a bit of a step out of the creek, but you can't see it on the video. There were rocks already built up by someone else to drive up it. The track up was very steep, but has just opened after maintenance, so was straight forward.

I debated if I would publish this one. The trucks are a fair way off in the distance, but you can kind of make them out. The scream from Winnie on the radio, after making it up, was cool so I decided I would put it up. :) As usual, you can never get a feel for how steep it really was from the video. Winnie was first and you only see a bit of him as a dot in the distance, but the scrambling and dust gives you an idea of what was going on.

This is the close up view of my drive up. Right at the end, you can't quite tell on my video, my right front wheel rode a mound and my left front took some very high air and then I dropped significantly. On the video Winnie had it looked kind of cool.

The Little Red Firetruck. What a beast. :) Glad it wasn't me, as there was no power steering. Steve took a rest in the afternoon. Ha Ha.
This was doing the switchback section on Trig Track. I think there was more than 10 of them.

Finally a quick view from the switchbacks on Trig Track, looking back where we had come across from the other side and back to the switchbacks themselves.

Yeah, we did about 10 hours of driving on Saturday and looked at only one part of a speck of it. There were heaps more tracks in that area that we never went near and it is just one tiny bit.Quote:

Would love to do some drives visiting and investigating some of the history up there. Need more time. :) Back to reality now, stop dreaming about 4wding the rest of my life and go to bed so I can go to work tomorrow!
How many of the jerries you end up using ?Quote:

Seeing how easy Rossco and Cameron climbed that hill, makes me want a locker even more!
