Well got out of class early today, and decided to take a trip to Palomar Road Divide truck trail. First real offroad trip for the TB. Got 3/4 of the way through and a gate was closed, going to the observatory, so ended up taking High point to Oak grove back to 79. Just a couple pics, nothing big and dirty. Got a video, but editing and going to post it when i get a chance.

Caltech owns the Observatory and the mountaintop, and that gate is permanently locked. Glad Cleveland Forest rangers left the ridge road gates open, and the rain didn't wash it out too badly.

It was actually really fun. Tested the suspension a little bit. I think I may be going more of a expedition type TB instead of 4x4 mud runner lol
