Does this count as offroading watched so many people have to get towed off the beach, even a brand new Colorado dug himself into above the doors right in front of me.

The “rock tunnel” before Pucker Pass was all washed out last week. This was much harder than it looks. 4L and locked up, but on a stock FX4.

I drove the entire Long Canyon (uphill). The only surprise was this heavily washed out part.

Hi Robert,

A comment here. When we taught a advance offroad school for Ford Engineers we taught them to enter a mud puddle with the wheels straight ahead and proceed through the puddle until you hit the opposite bank of the puddle and turn or avoid an obstruction and turn. You entered the puddle with wheels way to the left...Might have been better to go straight. Not a criticism...just an observation to consider on your next adventure.

Morning Phil,
I was wondering if you knew Jason Snow? He is a photographer that does some work for us at the shop. He informed me that he does the photography work at Fords testing facilities. Was explaining how ot is secured like a military facility haha. Just a question. They seem like nice people.

Hi Robert,

I do not know Jason...I have been retired for about 18 years now and likely Jason came into the picture after I retired.... Security around prototype vehicle has increased quite a bit. Cell phone cameras have caused quite a challenge from what I understand, but camo is far better than it used to be....

He was saying 2 guys got kicked last year because they just had their phones in their pocket. Haha can't let the secrets out.
