No gold in the Deschutes. Found a bit in Idaho City and Libby later on, nothing great though.

This is a dirt road that goes directly East out of Sun Valley, once you go over the pass there's awesome dispersed camping on the way back down on both sides. You could do it in a normal passenger car if you were careful.

Little offshoot road after said pass, you can camp directly next to a waterfall here.

New boisefag here, moved here last month. I love that big sign up by lucky peak. Its a pretty cool reservoir too. You must have avoided the wildfires. Literally a mile farther north of that big sign just got ravaged by wildfire last week. About 4500 acres. Another fire 5 miles north of Idaho city is going on now too. Around 100 degrees every day this week with a breeze so they're having trouble controlling that one. Its beautiful up where you went and it looked like you had an awesome time. Come visit again anytime!! Where are you from OP?

I gotta get back up to Glacier again. Its unbelievable.

Crazy, must have been a few days after I was there. Definitely will go back, was planning on going to Atlanta but we skipped it to get more time in Montana. We also drove through ID again all the way from the top of the panhandle to Hells Canyon in the SW corner, will post the pics a bit later.

>>823313
Ha I'm from Atlanta, Ga and I still associate Atlanta with my old home and I was wondering why the hell you'd randomly be going the the southeast. Gotta get used to that. Haven't been to Atlanta, Idaho though. Been up past arrowrock dam along the beaches that people go and party at. Maybe 2 miles past the dam. Gonna explore farther up that way this weekend, I know there are a gotta trails and its all NF or BLM land so you can basically do whatever. Gonna try and fish some up there too.

Great pics though, keep em coming! Its gods country up here.

I have a lot of family living in Roswell and Marietta, I go down there sometimes. Do the drive to Atlanta and then on to Sun Valley/Ketchum, full of yuppies but still worth checking out and as soon as you are outside of SV it's all wilderness, nice camping to the East on that road, to the North near Galena, and everything between Idaho City and SV is wide open. What I do is go to a BLM or NF office and get what's called a motor vehicle use map, it's a giant map that shows every dirt road, and you can camp anywhere on those roads.

This is Kintla Lake in the very NW corner of Glacier. The road inside the park to it was closed so you had to drive outside the park and back in on a total of ~1hr on dirt roads so it was pretty much empty. Similar to the Zion backcountry it's definitely a different experience than the high traffic parts of the park. The cloud in the foreground is fish.

Nice double meaning vanity plate faggot.
> he didn't import the god tier hilux

All funposting aside, looks like a good time.

Was raised officially in Marietta, but closer to downtown roswell ha. Been to kintla lake as well, its gorgeous. One of my fav places I've been so far is driving up 55 to banks and heading east across hwy 17 (banks-lowman road) and cruising along the payette, then you hit hwy 22 about 50 miles north of Idaho city so you just head south through the mountains and switchbacks and stuff. About 3-4 hour loop that is gorgeous and a lot of fun to drive with tons of places to hop off and off road and hike. Not a whole lot north of Boise, its great.

The Taco is great for what it is, the not boxed frame is unfortunate but it does the job. For my next truck I'm going to build a Kaiser M715 with a modern drivetrain.

This is near Libbby MO

This is East of Coeur D Alene on a forest road near the river. It bombed rain at night and I got stuck for about an hour getting out, was a ~15% grade of wet roots and loam, I ended up sliding towards the outside of a corner where I couldn't back up without sliding off a little cliff so I had to do a 2 million point turn using stacks of rocks to get back down, then do a flying start bouncing up the trail.

This is in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon, which was completely empty aside from a few hunters we ran into on their way out, and that was on a Saturday.

It's MT, not MO. Don't ever confuse us with that Midwestern shithole

>>823609
Holy shit are you me? This literally happened to me in almost the exact same way except it was a bit southwest of. Coeur dalene. Pulled off because I saw a cool waterfall off the highway, having a good time offrosding and came to a little dip on a sharp turn on the dirt road and I started spinnin wheels. Mud looked exactly like the hardpacked dirt I was on, shit was gnarly . Was able to turn myself around but I had to go up the incline that I just came down into the dip. At the angle of the turn was about 100-200 ft drop into a little ravine. Took about 45 mins and 4 wheel low on my jeep to creep up the incline. I was originally slipping backwards til I took out some gear to backpack to the highway if I lost my jeep and chill outside of my jeep and think it through.

Sounds like almost an identical situation ha. In the Marietta dude who just moved to Boise btw. That was my first time in Idaho last year when I was traveling. Probably the most precarious situation I found myself in over a 50k mile, 1 year road trip around the country. Was sketchier than it sounded.

Do you have a pic of the inside?

Did you just disperse camp on national forests?
Or are there other places that have places where dispersed camping is possible?

>>823261
Truck bros!

>>824695
All National Forest, Wilderness Area, and National Recreation Area this trip, but have camped alot in National Monument and some other BLM admin lands in the past. Just check with local offices, camping normally works the same but other regs are different, can't gold pan in Recreation Areas for instance

>>824642
wow.. that is sweet.
Would you rent out to a bay area native?

>>824642
>>824648
Looks good.
