A few from a couple of years ago, I've since removed the running boards and swapped rims numerous times.

Up north by my folk's place, at the Chain 'O Lakes near Waupaca, WI.

This is from a few years ago, a little day outing in to the woods at Reiter Ponds in Sultan Wa. Will post a lot more this year after June rolls around. I plan on taking my van everywhere and taking pics ;D

@SilverBullet are those BF Goodrich All-Terrain that are on your Astro in these pictures?
No, this was when the vehicle was still running stock all-season tires...

I can't wait to get out there with my new BF's

Quick stop on the drive home yesterday.
Your van looks amazing Shane. I would love to talk to you about your lift sometime... I am really hoping to have enough money to do my lift with in the next month or two...

Used the astro to pull the boat out to the lake to enjoy that in the outdoors, so the astro facilitated that enjoyment, so that counts right?

Hi Tegnus I just finished a trip from whistler down logging roads to Harrison hot springs with a stop at sloquet really nice up there, Ill make that trip again in September I hope
It's nice up there indeed, we did a day trip from Vancouver to Sloquet Hot Springs, approaching from Mission/Harrison side and back trough Pemberton/Whistler, so opposite they way you were going! :)

I am thinking about doing this later in the year again - October/November perhaps when it's nice and cool outside ;)

We got a system in my family. I takes pictures of the van, the truck, the chevelle, the house think garage.
She got her own cameras. Feel free to knock herself out taking pictures of whatever she wants. I busy getting my shots.

I fess up I do grab shots of my boy when he around while I being a shutterbug.

Here one when he was a baby. In the hot rod garage while daddy and uncle played with our toys.

First shot we were still building the garage.
Second he was imitating daddy sanding on the old rustbucket.

A trivia moment. The color of the chevelle and the original color of the van are the same in GM's colorbook. Different years.

Okay, now lets see if I can steal this thread back from CM....

Van hit 200,000 miles on it yesterday on its return trip from camping.

Will camping the Astro:
Towed a trailer with a 12' Aluminum Smokercraft(boat), ATV, Fish Smoker, Tents, chairs, and other heavy junk.(sorry no pic of it fully loaded...)

Went out in the woods a few times to collect wood

Get some mud on the tires

From sketchy creek crossings like this

Played around in a gravel pit for a bit.

Did some large grassy knoll hill climbs, and attempted one that was so steep it felt like the van was going to do an endo (end over end) or stop dead from not low enough gearing.

So the 'Stro allowed me to have a great time enjoying the out doors...

Hi all!
First of, I love your rigs and thanks for posting those nice outdoor pictures.

Now, summer is here and l'm almost set for 3 weeks of Astro living. Plans involve Roskilde music festival and France. In the mean time, maybe not outdoor but definitely not indoor:
