First off road trip - Vernon to Oyama by forestry roads

Post by trialsmaster2 »

We took our Delica on its first off road adventure this past Sunday by driving from Vernon to Oyama by forestry roads with a few deviations from the main forestry roads now and then. We started on the Vernon end by taking King Edward FSR for 18k and then turning onto Oyama Lake FSR for quite a ways until we hit pavement again. The Delica handled our little outing with ease. I look forward to many more back roads exploring trips in the future! Best of all, it sipped the diesel compared to my F350 which chugged gas to do the same trip.

Here are some photos from the trip... Hope you enjoy them.

We'll have to get a Delica meet up here and do a group off road excursion! It'll be a little different than the Celica meets I'm used to were we look for twisty fun roads (aka Highway 6 and Westside Road).

Thanks for the comments, everyone. If anyone is in the area and wants to go for a group drive, I'd love to join ya. I know my way on some of the more major FSR, but I got the Delica to explore! I'll be sure to bring my backroads mapbook with me next time too.
