No, I'm originally from Washington (before I joined the military) and try to make it up there every year to go backpacking for a couple weeks, not a whole lot of off-roading trails out there (north cascades), country is a little to rugged for vehicles, got to get out and start hiking/climbing

If you're talking about my north cascades pictures then no that's in WA, but Mt.Lemmon is in Tucson (as well as Oracle, small town right outside of Tucson) and it's nice to go up there and catch some views and get out of the city, that trail is always fun

Sony DSC-H5, I've got a wide-angle and telephoto lens for it as well. Biggest thing you can do to make your pictures better and more clear is to take it off auto and use the manual setting and figure out how to adjust your shutter speed, aperture and ISO settings. Takes some time figuring out the right settings for each shot but once you get the hang of it your pictures will come out better

Agreed. Our Ranch is located in the Cascade Range in Northern California, and it is so freaking gorgeous. I'll grab some scenic pics next time i am up there. I actually just got back from there yesterday, but didnt have my Camera.

Awesome. Sony is all I will buy when it comes to electronics. I have a 3yr old Sony Cybershot camera with manual settings and I use it frequently but with its 4.1mp it holds me back from getting very good clarity pictures. I'm looking to buy a more professional camera soon.

No hard feelings I loved it when it was stock too but it's a lot better with the lift on. Before I had the lift I didn't get many compliments or looks but do all the time now. I think in pictures stock with a leveling kit and 35's is hard to beat (I actually like a lot of trucks on here better with just a leveling kit then a lift kit but I'm sure I wouldn't in person) but overall and in person an actual lift looks a lot better

agreed. i was dead set on going the leveling route, until seeing two F150's side by side, one with leveling kit and one with the 6" lift. Thats what sold me, along with tons of pics on here !

Anyways, very nice pics bud ! Looks beautiful out that way ! I am plannin a trip to be out in your neck of the woods for a week or so in May (Memorial weekend-ish) Hopefully we can meet up. Anyways, thanks for sharin.

I'll probably be in Albuquerque in New Mexico for my Flight Engineer initial qualification training for HH-60G pave hawks around that time but could come home for the weekend and hit up some trails around here
