Ultimate Adventure 2020 Episode 3: Ghost Towns and Dodging Wildfires | MotorTrend

Ultimate Adventure 2020 starts heating up as the group ‘wheels back down from Caruthers Lake goes overland through an abandoned ghost town, drives through a mile-long abandoned train tunnel full of water, and changes routes on the fly because of an unexpected wildfire. Then precariously ‘wheeled up the side of a mountain to do some high-elevation fishing and exploring before hitting the trail for more winching, rockcrawling, and shenanigans. #MotorTrend #Offroad #UA2020

Glad to see Ultimate Adventure is still happening

[@andyblack5687]

Me too. I’m still upset about Petersen’s being discontinued but at least UA has carried on.

[@elijahT0494]

@@andyblack5687 that does suck. I didn’t even realize they were discontinuing it. I use to watch it for the longest time even when I was real young.

[@hwi7114]

Fred is an offroad genius, would have never thought to use a winch for bump starting.

[@stevesanders3935]

It should be noted his starter didn't actually fail but that didn't make the edit. Before creatively winch starting it, you should check your starter wiring first to make sure it's not loose! :) Fun Fact: R2.8 needs to see 200 rpm minimum on crank position sensor before it'll allow injectors to fuel.

[@velascoroseteemilio3135]

Each year looks less challenging, easier trails

[@TheZuumer]

Last year was Alaska, we wheeled Alaska terrain. This year was Covid-wheeling. Areas closed, shops closed, overnight parts from a place that is closed to someplace that is closed by ... you get it I hope? We went and did what we could in a time most were locked down. We also wished for better times and harder trails yet it was also one of the best, fun, and challenging trips. #UA2020
