About

Hi there. I'm John (aka Vdub). I'm starting this blog to share some of my enthusiasm for the outdoors. My take on the outdoors is a little different but that'll come out through the content of this blog. I live in Utah. My main outdoor activities include disc golf, walking and hiking, 4-wheeling, archery, hunting, and camping.

Tusher Tunnel

The Moab area is a wonderful area to explore. With two national parks, a state park, and a few scenic drives, one could spend countless hours in those attractions alone. And rightly so--those areas are incredibly beautiful. However, those areas don't hold all the beauty in the area. There are many areas outside of the normal tourist attractions that offer beautiful sights. Some of these areas, however, require a little more work to get to than those in the parks. Tusher Tunnel is one such attraction. Tucked in the hills near the Bartlett Wash Recreation Area, this attraction offers low crowds, beautiful rock formations, rock art, and more after only a short ride on a moderate OHV trail. What You'll Need If you're looking to visit the Tusher Tunnel, here's what you'll need: A "High-Clearance Vehicle" (Most stock SUV's and Trucks should make it. Some passenger vehicles will likely make it as well but should proceed with caution.) Decent hiki...

Mosida and Lake Mountains

This past weekend my family and I went on a drive, as we're wont to do. It's one of our favorite things to do to get out of the house but still follow social distancing measures and minimize risk of exposure. Sometimes we have specific places in mind and other times we just see where the journey takes us. This last drive was kind of a mix of both. And, I must say, it was a pretty good one. We started the drive going to see where the Saratoga Springs Temple is being built. We'd driven by the area before it was announced but wanted to see exactly where the work is happening. Right now it's not much. The road is in and there's a bunch of piles of dirt with some equipment, but it was cool to see exactly where the temple will be located. After that, the kids were still up for more of a drive (which was a surprise. So, we went back to Redwood Road and headed South, away from the city. The road from there runs between Utah Lake to the East and the Lake Mountains t...

My Vehicle

One essential item for any adventure that's not in your immediate area is a method of transportation. About 6 months ago I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase what I think is a fantastic vehicle and I wanted to share a little bit about it to potentially give a little more info into the other posts that I write. So, without further ado, here's my vehicle: It's a 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab Long Bed. Whew! That's a mouthful. The previous owner had a level kit installed so that they could fit larger tires on it. It currently has 31" tires. It's rims are the Warlord from Black Rhino  and its tires are Nitto's Terra Grappler G2's . I've done a few small things to it since then. The first was replacing the antenna (which you can see in the picture above) with a much smaller, car wash-friendly option. I've also done the Uni Filter mod, changed the climate control knobs, and replaced the interior lights with LED lights. R...
