Jim Collier > These trenches were dug to help repel a potential invasion during WWII (along with the countless lookout posts and [cold-war] missile batteries scattered throughout the entire area).A simple composite of two exposures due to the dynamic range issues. I was working on a washed-out screen, so this wound up being over-saturated to my tastes&mdash;but probably just right for the photo contest crowd that seem to love rediculously over-saturated images!

Jim Collier > If this scene looks familiar, it's the same rock formation, framed almost the same way, as photo two shots back, but from a couple hundred feet or so higher.

Jim Collier > This is a marked up satellite depiction of the day, from Microsoft Virtual Earth. (You can view this map along with track and marker pins in your own browser here.) These weren't challenging trails, except for the very last one. It was really just the big sky and the snow made it fun, and I hadn't had a decent break in a few weeks. Of course it's best to off-road with more than one jeep&mdash;if one breaks or gets really stuck, it's no fun without one or more people to help. But it's also better to jeep solo than not at all!A note about environmental impact: I try hard to practice "green" off-roading, which is admittedly a bit of an oxymoron. But it can be done with minimal incremental impact. For example, 1) I don't go blazing off-trail. 2) My rig is equipped with 4wd (of course), aftermarket locking differentials and 1:4.11 gearing, and larger tires&mdash;all of which contribute to less wheel spin and erosion. 3) If there is a part of the trail with large ruts, I try to stay on top&mdash;rather than digging them deeper&mdash;or worse, driving around it and making a new "trail".I'd really rather see large wilderness areas protected and with no trails whatsoever, than kept open for hiking, biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and/or various forms of off-roading.
