I am more convinced than ever that Land Rover has NOT abandoned its roots. On Saturday August 2nd, Columbia Rovers led a trip into the Tillamook State Forest. The map used for the previous run was donated to Rob in Seattle, and I had to dig up an older version. The older version did not include some choice information about the new trails and we wound up on Firebreak Five, which is a black diamond trail. All 6 Land Rovers ran the trail without any body damage. An impressive feat considering there were 2 LR3’s and a completely stock 2004 Range Rover in our contingent. The pictures don’t do the trails justice. I was shocked at how well the new, big body Rovers handle themselves off-tarmac. On the hardest section of Firebreak Five, we actually caught up to a group of jeeps, Early Bronco’s, and Toyotas, all wearing 35″ tires at least.

Participants drove from as far as Seattle to play in Portland’s shaded backyard. The rain let up for one fortuitous day and we all made the best of it. Discovery Series II’s, Range Rover Classics, and an LR3 were all equally at home exploring the diverse trails of the TSF.

Thank you to Rob Vowles of Cascade Rovers for organizing the trip!
