I hope you will indulge me in continuing this birding vehicle thread just a
bit longer. We are fairly new to northen Idaho and we quickly realized that
we would need a vehicle to handle the multitude of Forest Service roads in
this area. We have been doing okay w/ our front wheel drive low clearance
Toyota Wagon but don't want to tear it up. (BTW it does quite well in snow
in general as long as it's not too deep). In addition I will be doing field
work this spring/summer and would like something I could sleep in from time
to time. Like Michael I am torn between a Sabaru and a pickup so my main
questions are:

1. Can Subaru Wagons handle most conditions one would find on FS roads?
2. Can an average sized (5'8") person sleep comfortably in the back of a Subaru?

My preference is for the more fuel effecient Subaru. But it does seem almost
a requirement that if you live in Idaho you need to drive a pick-up!

Any comments or suggestions would be most helpful especially from those
doing field work in NFS areas.

Thanks!
Charles.
