My buddy Mike and me ran the length of Colockum road this weekend. It goes from Ellensburg to Wenachee. (In Washington state) It was also a good way to try out the new tires.

A stop at a crossroads for a map-look.


After an hour or so east from the last photo. The trees have stopped, and it's dry desert here. The rocky road is the same for miles and miles. I doubt the old 4 ply ATR's would've held up on this run without blowing a sidewall.


Heading up a hill from the Columbia river. Somewhere along these roads, we realized the usual pulsing tire slippage sounds that we normally hear while going up such a slope are gone. The M/T's are like gear teeth meshed with the ground, and slippage is pretty much zero.


A bullet riddled car about 100' down the slope. How it ever got to this spot, who knows? It's miles of 4x4 only road to this place.


Panned back a bit.
