It was a lot of fun and we created a lot of memories, but I won't go back. The wind was so bad, Every night we had to circle the vehicles around our tents as a wind break. We still lost two tents. Mine was bent badly and another one wasn't anchored enough and set sail for about 300 yards. Dust covered everything. Food, pillows, sleeping bags. My truck had so much dust, not just on the outside but the inside as well. When I got home I changed all the air filters and spent hours cleaning everything up.Picture looks so different than whats here, so wide open, dry, and barren.....something you'd expect to see on mars.
Yeah, I'll always remember it as one hell of a fishing trip. When your young in your 20's, you tend to do some crazy stuff.sounds like an adventure
Then Beth it is.I have not thought of a name for my Taco. But one day my wife and I went to pick up a friend. We called her to let her know when we would arrive. She asked if we were bringing "Beth". My wife asked, "Who's Beth?"
"Your new truck."
Only our friend calls the truck "Beth".
I have only ever known one person named Beth. And she was not the brightest bulb in the box. Not too fond of the name Beth...Then Beth it is.
Double like !Since most of my driving now is long distance/vacation, my ‘17 is named Charlie, after Travels With Charlie.

I love my truck
Funny enough, I have a very similar story with my truck. I named mine "Lucky" because it has managed to survive some pretty intense off-roading expeditions. It has gotten me out of some pretty tight spots, so I thought the name was appropriate!We use to do our own 4 wheeling on fishing trips back when I had a new 1979 Toyota compact 4wd pickup.....spent well over 24 hrs straight driving from Connecticut to the James bay region of Quebec following old grown in logging roads built from decades past once leaving the well maintained dirt roads from chibougamau city. Busting down small trees, brush, and building crude bridges through 4' deep streams got pretty common when looking to catch big fish. We were pretty lucky to make it back with the truck still intact over a week later. We survived, but my lemon colored little Toyota had more dents, and scratch's in that amount of time than in the next couple years. At least all the pics my buddy took of that trip were priceless.
My fishing buddy use to call my truck the tonka toy. That's the only truck name I could recall.Funny enough, I have a very similar story with my truck.

No pics, but I call it my street taco.I've always given my pickup trucks a name after purchasing them. I named my first Tacoma Maria, my second one was Scary Cary, and my current Tacoma BigBlue (for obvious reasons). I know there are many dudes out there that give names to their pickup trucks so let's hear them. And please keep the politics out of it. The last time I posed the question on a different website I got suspended four times. Pictures get double likes.
did you do the hike on the rio grande? santa elenaIt was a lot of fun and we created a lot of memories, but I won't go back.

There's also just not much there. We had access to two gas stations. One was in the park and the other was about 40 mins away from where we stayed. Huge lines for gas every morning. A memorable experience but honestly I wouldn't recommend it.
Couple suggestions.....Jose', Jesus, Juan, Carlos, Pepe'.................My 07 Jeep Wrangler was Wrangelina Jolie......My 2012 Dodge Ram was Jean Claude Van Ram. My buddy's silverado was Truck Norris. I just got my new Tacoma on 2/4 still thinking of a name
