| Our original expedition 4x4 was this 1989 Toyota pick-up, for which the website is named after. It served us well.... |
| ...but progress demanded a newer vehicle more suitable to our type of expedition travel. The 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80. |
| The final trip with the 1989 Toyota pick-up took place in early 2007. For all my articles related to this truck, click here. |

| OUR MAIN SECTIONS & PAGES & SISTER WEBSITES |
| Welcome to the Home Page of Brian P McCamish We are independent, volunteer, hobbyist field researchers of Pacific Northwest History, with a focus on abandoned and historical railroad, mining, logging, ghost town, homestead & other historical sites. Our mission is to explore, discover, research, record and help to preserve these historical sites. We live in the states of Oregon and Washington and this is where most of our research is concentrated, but we sometimes operate in the expanded western region of the U.S. Our work is entirely voluntary, in our spare time and our research and discoveries are often passed along to local, regional or federal authorities in an effort to help preserve historical sites. We are not organized into an official group or club, but are simply friends who share the same hobby and experience in exploring history. This website is one of several websites part of In Search of History Expeditions. In Search of History Expeditions is now referred to as NW Rail Research. NW Rail Research now has its own website, but most content on that website refers back to this website. NORTHWEST RAIL RESEARCH This website is the original home page of Brian P McCamish and is often referred to as my "heritage site". While NW Rail Research focuses almost entirely on our historical research, railroad and expedition hobbies, this website also focuses on my interest in Toyota 4x4s, Toyota 4x4 history and contains numerous technical articles, in addition to our primary focus on exploring and preserving historical sites in the Pacific Northwest. You may note that some of our major pages have not been updated in many months or even years. This does not mean we have stopped exploring. Unfortunately time and commitments on other projects have made it difficult to update our websites and upload photos and information on a regular basis. Brian McCamish is a volunteer for the Oregon Pacific Railroad and much time that was formerly spent on this site is now spent updating the OPR's website and working on OPR related projects. Please visit the Oregon Pacific Railroad website for more information. We will update this page as often as we can, but progress will continue to be slow as we only have so many hours in the day. |
| Please be aware that some of these Toyota related sections have not been updated in several years. I leave these pages up because of the enormous work it took to create them, but some information contained herein may be outdated. Thank you. |
