Built my Tacoma for overlanding. First trip was black hills and badlands in South Dakota! Stayed in the area for a week and did a lot of trails and dispersed camping! Definitely recommend it, especially if you have never tried it!

Hey you wanted a story right?

A month a go I went up to the Adirondacks with my friends for a guys only (except for the lesbian that wears the pants) trip to camp one one of the fabulous lakes they have with water accessible only camping. I got my Tacoma Trailhunter a year ago, in no small part because I wanted to do more. A year earlier, I got frustrated only having the Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness, and had no more room to carpool with anyone, despite the call.

I'm an outdoor nut. I'm just always outside, fly fishing, hiking, boating, woodcutting, golfing, whatever. Sadly, I'm in mid-life crisis mode, where I still can and do all the things I did when I was 25 (because I never stopped) but.... my friends not so much. They were firmly never-leave-campers this year, and just drank themselves into a stupor. I don't drink. So needless to say, the trip was tough for me.

Previous years we camped on a lake we've been doing for a decade, and love, but two things happened:
First, stemming from convos post trip, we all decided we'd get motors for our boats, or boats with motors, and go to one of the farther campsites since a bunch of girls doing the same thing beat us to the campsite we've had forever by 15min. We recovered, but got us thinking. But the decision was made. And that was the other reason I I got the Tacoma, because, I tow stuff, all the time.
Two, was a week before the trip, they announced the road was closed for repairs, and we couldn't go to that lake.

So we rallied, searched, called, and settled on another lake, that was only made possible by the motor boats. However, what was supposed to be everyone, turned out to be only two of us out of 8. So, I spent more than half the time on the trip ferrying people to and from the launch to the campsite, hauling stuff, and getting firewood. The trip was 30 minutes out, and my boat was small, so each round trip to the truck was 1:30, and a trip to town took 3hrs. I wasn't having much fun. Or, at least get the kind of recharging I needed from the trip.

Sadly, my friend that has the other Tacoma, a 2016, nicely setup, had chipmunks eat his wiring harness the night before the trip, and had to leave it at the dealer, and had to carpool in a Kia with a guide canoe and motor in the trunk, and somehow fit gear. Which just didn't work, so I had no truck buddy, or fly fishing buddy, because he couldn't fit it. I was on my own.

I always disappear to fly fish at least one day on the trip. Leave at first light and drive to a nice gold or remote river. I picked Monday this trip since it was the only one that didn't need me as ferry captain. We were in a new area, so I decided to explore the new direction. There was a lovely looking gold river, the West Canada Creek, not too far, so went to check it out. Well, I make it all the way down, and it's low water, and very wide, with not much structure or features. Drift boat river. I ran into another angler, and asked for some tips, hoping he was local. But instead, he was visiting, and had exactly the same plan as I had, and we were both 3hrs in and hadn't had a single bite. This was not the au Sable, Hudson, or Saranac I've learned to love. This was, wade 75ft into the middle of the river to try to throw a Chubby or hopper along the bank, then move up another 100ft to the next spot.

I hunted around for hours, and finally found one stretch that was freestone, looked incredible, deep channel around big rocks, 200ft long. Finally. I knew how to fish this. This was my bread & butter. I rig up, set out, and beat that stretch to death.... but came up completely empty. I was devastated. I've been coming up enough, that the prior year I caught a dozen fish that day on the au Sable. Yes, the au Sable, which is not an easy feat.

So, I was bummed out completely. It was mid afternoon, and just felt done, and got in the truck to head back to camp early. Just for shits and giggles I pulled up OnX. There was a lot of green/easy trails, but there was one blue/intermediate trail I hadn't noticed nearby that was pretty short, maybe a mile, so I figured why not have a little fun before heading back. My buddy wasn't with me, so I told myself I'd take it easy since I had no recovery help.

I drove out to find it, and flew right by the entrance, which was tucked away between two houses, just a narrow slot through the trees with an overgrown sign 20ft in the woods. Spun around and headed in. There was plenty of mud and ruts early, so I got her dirty and finally got a smile on my face. Pretty flat, just a completely unmaintained road. I made it out to the end of the trail on OnX, where I get to the sign that says wild forest, proceed at your own risk......... and the trail immediately launches into a rocky climb. I hop out to spot, as you have to get over a huge water break at the bottom right before the climb, and it just goes up and up. I can't say no, so drop it into 4L and crawl away. I immediately dragged on the exit of the water break, and forgot I still had my hitch in, so pulled that, tossed it in the bed, and nothing rubbed since.

Pretty sure my cheeks were sore by the time I reached the alarm I set as the turn around point to make sure I got back to camp (via boat) before dark, a good 2hrs and many miles in. The best part, is that I wasn't even half way once I realized the hiking trail was the 4x4 trail. There were gnarly climbs after climbs, 3 dozen or so huge water breaks that I am still amazed at the clearances on the Trailhunter, a whole section of whoops, and plenty of mud to go around. Without a spotter, there was a big downed tree that the middle was cut out of, and had about 4" clearance on either side. The cameras on the Taco were vital, or I never would have gotten past it. The capability to solo trail it was pretty remarkable, and really made me feel good that I chose the perfect truck for what I wanted to use it for, now that it had finally been used. Can't wait to go back next year and fly fish the alpine lake at the end of that journey, and give me something to look forward to, despite the setbacks.
