Best Off-Roading Vehicle EVER!!

So, lets say that you wanted to go off-roading with a couple of your closest friends.  Which vehicle would you choose?  Maybe a Landrover, or a Jeep Rangler, or maybe a Hummer H2.  But as I discovered last week, there is another vehicle that trumps them all!

Last week me and some of my best friends were driving up to a young adult camp in Challis, ID when the unexpected happened.  A wild fire had started right next to the highway, and the smoke was so thick that the forest rangers could not let us drive through.  We had to back track 20 miles to a ranger station to find a detour.  The standard detour would have taken us all the way south to Ketchum, ID before heading north again, a detour that would have added 4 to 5 hours to our trip.

And then we saw a little gray squiggly line on the map.  This little gray line represented a dirt logging road that went around the backside of the fire.  It would be a 90 minute detour, but it would be much shorter than the alternative.

The reason why this is so monumental is because of the vehicle that we were in.  Not an SUV, or truck, or even an all-wheel-drive car.  NOPE.  It was a 2006 Toyota Corolla.  And yet, as we embarked on our journey, this little car was amazing.  We were over dips, around corners, and up loose gravel hills, all with greatest of ease.  Never have I been so impressed with a little car.  Thankyou Toyota for making such an impressive little car.  You are my hero!!
