A few quick fire road picts

I went up to a fire road on Sunday that I used to bike to see what these tires had left in them before I get a new set (almost no tread depth left). I found a few spots that I know I could pass, but the tires just wouldn't let me, even in 4Lo w/the center diff locked.

Saw a coyote here on my way through, but he was too quick for my camera.


Spooky...


150' + drops to either side. Way narrower in person than it looks here.


I didn't think I'd make it up this with my Dunflops, but the 'runner walked right up no problem. Snapped a photo on the way back down.

Does that thing have a sun roof? I would think the pics would have given the narrow impression better if shot from above the sunroof area.

No sunroof, sorry. I suppose I could of stood on my roof, but it was almost too narrow to get out of the door, heh heh.

This is just up in the hills behind Rancho Cucamonga. There's a ton of fire roads up there, but only a few spots you can access them that do not have a gate.

Well, a few years ago everything burnt from Glendora to Big Bear - like a 30 mile stretch, so yes, it's right in the middle of that.
