    Wow..... fun times.... haven't done any off road since 1993.... step-kids, kids, wife, ex-wife, 2nd wife, more kids....child support blah blah blah.... but in celebration of my last child support payment, I got a truck I wanted... 2018 Tundra TRD 4x4 off road!!!
    I love my new truck!...
    Today,I hit a trail I bet most of you SoCal guys know...
    I stuck to the easy novice stuff.... never really went anyplace I couldn't back out of....
    One place.... going down a rutted steep section... I apparently chose wrong line as it did a little suspension thing on the front right and back left wheels...
    only out for about 4 hours... just the right amount of time for me!!

    DING DING DING DING DING....
    Circle gets the square!!!

    Right where Wall Street Canyon Trail kinda starts I think...

    EDIT: Actually, when I look at the map... it is about 1/2 way down Wall Street...but it is the northern easy part.... I went north east from there... not south...seen some gnarly videos of that trail to the south!
