Maybe the very last build 6x6 by the Unimog works. Operating on the RNLAF shooting range in the Netherlands. Because of the very corrossive working conditions (sea atmosphere) a lot of stainless steel was applied. To be able to use the largest tires the cabin was rised several inches!
Crossing into Gallinas Canyon,
Arrival at rustic gate
Fence line for cattle control.
The sign asks travellers, "Please! Close the Gate", because people seem to have issue leaving things the way they found them, even out here. The posts of juniper hardwood stand against time and weather, and while the fence decays, it still gets repaired.
Inherited grazing rights (historic land grants) still allow many cattle to graze in the Gila National Forest. These rights are hotly debated. Cattle easily overgraze the land, but in the Black Range low numbers and controls like this fence seem to help a lot. But the cattle do cause problems for the ecosystem balance, and this sometimes frustrates the Forest Service, because they cannot kill the animals or re-locate them for ownership rights (or afford the expense). So, the fences have to be maintained, yet they are an obstruction to the native species. As ranger Phil expressed in annoyance from his fire lookout assignment on nearby Hillsboro Peak, "Stupid cattle!"
Large parties of horse seem to have greater localized impact than the cattle. Six horses can really tear up a trail, and graze a meadow by their prodigious metabolisms, therefore fill it back up with large piles of fly bait.
Some of the cattle here are feral, so it is good to keep a look out for them as well as the other animals.

I really appreciate feedback on my photos, but I don't want graphics in the comments unless it's relevant to my photo. A similar photo by you, for instance.
No group invitation graphics or 'this image was seen in ...' graphics. It's just annoying and clutters up the comments.
Ever since rebuilding Annie the Blue Bike into a proper mountain bike, and realising that the riding position just wasn't good for me anymore, I've been hankering for something that will do the job in more comfort.
This might. I've run big(gish) tyres on my Sequoia before, in the wintertime, with a Schwalbe Ice Spiker on the front and (sometimes) a Marathon Winter on the back. This time I've gone for BIG Continentals, mainly because The Bike Station had some part-used ones for very little money. In place of the full length SKS mudguards I've installed no-frills and very cheap basic items to keep crud away, in theory, from the dérailleur and the headset.
Shamelessly inspired by Brian Sullivan's RANS Dynamik and sertetlen's Genesis Longitude.
Given more wrenching time, I would be minded to reroute the cables away from the downtube. Given more money, for this round of playing has cost less than £20, I'd put black half-SPD, half flat pedals on the bike. The updated Deore XT pedals are nice.
In accordance with The Rules, the tyres, handlebars and saddle match in colour; valve stems are centred over the tyre labels and positioned at 6 o'clock; the cranks are not vertical; and no bidon is shown. Certain other rules pertaining to mirrors, saddle density and handlebar height have been conscientiously ignored.
