I just finished looking at your pictures and the Spot Satellite Adventure post. Great pictures. Super trip from the looks of it. I've been thinking of getting the Spot for sailing the Great Lakes.
So did you plan your route ahead of time or just drive and decide on the go?

I own two XJ's that I drive a lot. I need a bumper sticker that says "my other ride is a Commander". I drove my 97 XJ to the fireworks display as it had poured rain and I knew I would park in a field..I didn't want to get the Commander all mudded up and knew the old Cherokee would take me anywhere.Originally Posted by Knappster

Myself, the wife and daughter took a little adventure trip on our way home from Lake Charles. I'd been dying to get off the pavement and there is this old highway on the gulf coast that is shut down. Texas highway 87 see this link for info http://www.texasfreeway.com/statewid...7_eroded.shtml
There is a 20 mile section of this highway that in just washed out road bed or 4x4 trail. I have to say the 15 or so miles that we were alone out there was wonderful, fresh air, brown pelicans, Alvin and the Chipmunks playin on the DVD for the little one didn't even ruin it for me. However the erosion to that section of coast is terrible. Most of the maintained beaches on either side of the closure had lots of ground left between the coast and the water, but the "natural" beach was eroded pretty bad. Our navi said the road should have been a good 50 or 60 feet south of us (guestimation) when the water was less than 10 feet from the tires.
Oh and there are some "nudists" out on the High Island side...they are NEVER young and hot, always old and creepy.

Thought I would get some flack about not wanting to get the Commander mudded up..haha...I love offroading just hate mud..Too hard to clean out from underneath..gets everywhere, hardens up and causes problems if not cleaned out.
PS
I'm old and creepy but keep my clothes on when out in public...haha
