Default OOOOH YEAH! *56k be warned*
I'm going to have to buy a truck... not that it wasn't fun to get the rental filthy driving this...

This is from my trip this week to the Idaho Falls, ID area, where I will be moving in a couple weeks.


First, you drive along seeing pretty much nothing but this...

Then you suddenly come to this...

What's this? A road?

[img]http://www.***********.com/storage/976/dscf0069.jpg[/img]



SWEEEET!

Just to clarify...

It gets better, you can drive up another road to the other side, or follow along the bottom of the ravine.

From the other side:

Road along the bottom:

The area I'll be living in is flat, but is right beside the foothills to the rockies. This was barely getting into rolling hills, not even the foothills, let alone the mountains. This road is on maps, is not marked as private or anything like that. The only other vehicle I saw on this road was a road grader that just seemed to be passing through.

Oh yeah, and the rental Impala afterward. Made it much easier to find in parking lots. lol

That is absolutely gorgeous. What a place to live. I hope you appreciate the grandiosity of that area after you have lived there for a while. Also this road reminds me of that one on Bullrun that the charger and olds had to traverse.

Welcome to country living. Fresh air, beutifull scenery, and little traffic. Although I live in cali, thats pretty much how my area looks like. Except we have 200 foot redwoods mixed into the oaks and pines.

Looks like it is time to buy an STi or an EVO

Looks perfect for AWD

Those would be great for this road... but not some of them not pictured, which consist of two ruts & a raised grass strip down the middle. Gonna need truck-sized clearance.
