Welcome to the forum

Looks like we live in the same proximity ? Judging by the pictures you are closer to Eldorado Hills area than me ?

Iam familiar with that area not as easy to go off Hwy 1 to get to but worth the detour. Been there several times when travel to Fort Brag or Brookings OR.
Beautiful area and well worth the detour drive .

Redwoods are beautiful and I believe I have posted pictures of my Mazda in them. I know I have been through them at least once every year for the last 12 years. So a few of my vehicles have been had their pictures taken and posted on other forum different make platforms .

Thanks for posting the pics! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for sure!

I think my (real) 1993 Mazda B2600i 4x4 is quite purdy also!



I just scored an original Brush Guard with the Headlight Bars for it from a very nice person in Oklahoma! Can't wait to get it installed!
