Guys, just ran across your podcast the other day. Just got a new ride 2011 Tacoma which already has some great upgrades. Looking forward to getting it on the trail.
Ran across your meals for #34 podcast. I backpack a lot and here are a couple of meals that I think would be great on your next 4×4 Trip as well.
I smoke a pork butt ahead of time and freeze it into the portion size I want in vacuum sealed bags then either warm it in a non stick skillet or you can simply just put the bag right in boiling water and bring the meat up to temperature. Bring some buns, chips and bbq sauce and you have a great and quick meal.
The other meal I really enjoy is tortilla pizzas. Non stick pan again. I always use my backpacking stoves to cook even when I am truck camping. They don’t take up much room, they are lightweight and easy to use. You put the stove on low heat with butter in the pan and then your tortilla. I usually build my pizza on my plate first. Tortilla, sauce, meat of choice then fine grated cheese. Cook till the cheese is melted. Very yummy for sure!
I’ll include some pictures of my Tacoma, smoked pork butt and Tortilla Pizzas. Thanks for the great info!
Marcus

Episode 69 and 70 for more info on snow wheeling.

To my surprise, several club members attended the Prairie City PIG Meeting yesterday 12/15. I was a little concerned what jargon we would hear having never been involved in a meeting like this with Prairie City. It was pretty informative and afterwards, I have to say I was glad I attended. The staff at Prairie City seems to be very pro OHV use which makes sense.

They discussed several issues pertaining to the park, their fight with the county for access to their event entrance after the redesign of White Rock Rd, regulation changes to event permits, general fund issues, future expansion plans, obstacle construction and a slue of other topics. Let’s skip ahead and talk about what we really care about and that’s the obstacle construction.

In the summer of 2016, they plan to develop the 4×4 area with additional obstacle construction. This new obstacle will connect the whoops by the pyramid to the pipeline route with the intentions of creating a more trail like experience. The obstacle will have three routes through it, a tall pipe style hill to go up and over, a smaller version hill and a valley to maneuver through. Loose rocks will be placed before and after the hill climbs. They had a pretty cool little model of what they plan to build.

They were seeking recommendations or changes to the model. I think it would be a great addition to the park.
