I'm cross-posting this to the image gallery. Hope this is OK. :oops:

Went to Prairie City, a state park with off-road facilities. It's a nice park. Kinda dry and dusty this time of year, but there were lots of picnic spots. Some with large trees most with man-made shade. There is a section with obstacles and trails for 4x4's only. The 4x4 area is pretty empty on a Friday afternoon. Just one 70's era Bronco doing its thing.

We had a pre-off-road picnic lunch.

My son Connor tested the easy clean interior with Go-Gurt. (It works.)

The Element proved quite capable.
