old copsto find (Sorry JR ;-)
Do you have access to a point to point map of route?

It’s tempting to toss a bike in on the trip but seeming the trip is point A to point B. The off-road trip would require a ride back to my other vehicle.
I also fall into the list of don’t plan on takin a duramax on a off-road trip.

This is very tempting. I was originally planned to take my daughter on a trip to the Yukon this year as her graduation get out of the house celebration. This could be a substitute, if I can get the blazer ready, or a different vehicle prepped in timeDave if you can put it together, we should convoy out to Denver area so you are well supported

No 1911s? Blasphemy
I’m fine with it, check local laws as I’m not responsible.No 1911's
Assuming Ken isn’t coming (even though I think he should bring his sq Cummins truck which still most likely needs a front axle upgrade) so we don’t have to cover that hammers aka 1911’s are not allowed......
Worth noting we will not be on private property. It is all state or federal ground.
What did the commie have to say? Jealous of your mullet...or neck beard?
Don, I like your son. Shawn should aspire to be more like him. Chevys and 1911s. He will be a great leader some day.

Well, last I checked 16 yr olds can’t carry firearms but hammers are legal I think? :wink:Ya, no one like that is allowed. I will be checking everyone before they leave with this group.
I posted that WY map to my Instagram and attracted a commie, who was then quickly beat down by a former Sea Bee friend and our very own America.Mike :popcorn: :popcorn:
I don’t have a 1000 rounds of one type of Ammo, toying with making the trip in the CanAm Rc1000turbo

I think I just got kicked out of my own trip after reading #2...... :facepalm:OK, S, take another look, I fixed it...
I belong to as many political parties as I do churches, that would be zero!

I’m pretty sure I’m not planning on this trip.
If I had an overland type vehicle sure be easier. Otherwise to many logistical issues to think much about.

Careful Dave. I don't think they're legal to drive on roads in Texas. I'd check Wyo.Duane was telling me not too long ago, that there are more SxS's on the road and running around in town, than trucks/cars
Texas, of all places.
In Utah you can take them anywhere but the highway as long as you have a street kit, horn, turn signals and so forth, see them in the drive ups and the gas stations and parking lotsYeah same here in Az.
Pretty sure Shawn I’m not strokin that check just yet.

My youngest is stoked about this trip when I told him. He said to heck with scout camp if we do this.
Sure there will be lots of Randy's stuff on the trip!Randy's stuff?
Well sorry to say, but I won’t be making the trip. My truck is completely stock, my wife isn’t into off-roading , and a long trip for the event. Sounds like a lot of fun just the same.Too bad, would have enjoyed talking to you Bob, maybe next time
What does this trail rate for 4x4? Like on a 1-5 so maybe someone on the fence can decide.
My understanding even a mildly moded 4x can do the rubicon now as they have put "bypasses" on the real hard parts.
I have a hitch mount for a bike and could trail run ahead but carrying much gear and food and so forth on a bike would suck! And as long as I had a ride back to my vehicle at GLO we could do somethin like that?

Unless someone has a passenger seat I’m sure I won’t be making this trip.Anyone??

My truck is a bone stock Dmax along with being my daily driver and my daughter doesn't have her rock crawler scout built
There will many full size I think. Just depends on the trail, I sure don't want to screw mine up!Bring your tractor

Are you guys planning on group meals or individual personal responsibility on meals?

That’s a massive amount of food in reality. Or you could be eating MRE if it’s left up to Don

I vote to finish the Scout! :likebutton:
The truck has a few issues for sure. I definitely don’t care about the wheels and appearance.... I have some axle issues that have yet to be addressed. I also don’t like the idea of wheeling a full-size diesel seem like the ideal option eitherJust to offer a counter point, I did just that last weekend. Was way off into the Daniel Boone national forest in the D-Max. Was a hoot, and with that grizzly locker from El Tate, it did great. Never stuck once. I may have scraped up alongside a hard something, regrettably, as the streaks on the fender turned out to be gouges in the paint.

Scrapes, scratches, gouges and dents all create character. If you’re worried about it you had better keep it in your garage next to your purse...... :popcorn:

I'd say the trek would be better if we are going into mountains. Driving around the plains is so-so, but approaching the yeller-stones with it's trees and lava pits will give us a good place to hang out amongst some great scenery

I tend to agree with this sentiment. It also gets us on trail sooner which is kind of the point. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of boring wy regardless.
I’m pretty sure I’m not making this trip, the logistics of a bike on the trip, I’m not set up the haul equipment in that manner. I’ll be ok not attending.Read that wrong the first time...Thought we were gonna toss him off one ;-))
Thank you for keeping me off cliffs anyway

Ken's trying to plan a week off to hit idaho again. Some day I'll start taking more time off but right now I'm limited to 3 day weekends.
....And I'm not sure if I could resist ramming Shawn off the road somewhere without cell service.
Mike, you're still National Guard, right??Sounds good! I’ll go bug the guys at hhc then and see what they come up with.
Go see your S2 shop and order some 1:50,000 and maybe something even smaller. They can get them for just about every spot on earth. Aside from that you could purchase and download the data from Lorain and a few others then just chop and paste to get a detailed map of the trail +, say 10-20 miles each side. Could cut and paste then print the strip, while loading the data onto a thumb drive to download onto a laptop (Like mine!)
You 2 planning an assault?Bwhahaaa
You 2 planning an assault?The only thing I’m assaulting until I get my knee redone is the recliner
You 2 planning an assault?Ya never know. You have something needin' attacked? or broke" or injured?
Also, what is everyone running for coms? I have a 2 meter icom and a cb but want to make sure we have some sort of standardization for freq.CB and those handheld radio things...
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I think between CB and the hobby radios we should be fine.So the duramax truck then?
Yes, I plan on doing the trip if that was in question. Youngest boy coming. Love to bring the Sub, but Dmax is it for now. Between my Ridge project, the sub and all else I really can't see the sub being ready for a trip like this, but you never know.

We'll come up with a commo plan and share it at Shawn't place during the meet up
Oh, and since the meet and greet is at a more or less civilized place, we should plan to have a cookout of sorts, then sit around and stare at some fire before sleepy time.
And
I have a guy to print up T-shirts set up...kinda.
For the design, I am planning to have that small nautical compass rose over a breast pocket, then that same big blown up compass all over the back. On the left breast will be something like "Real Man 2021 Summer Cruise", then the compass, then below that a scripture. Thinking the Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
I'll try and get the spellin' right but without some senior NCO direct supervision, no tellin' ;-))
Don, no not really. But since Ken isn’t coming with H we should move at a faster pace. You know, no lovers quarrels and lighter vehicles this way. No Dave’s either right? I’m not sure why but that should make it go faster too I’d think? :evil:OK, well thanks for taking a shot at it. LD, you there?
All jokes aside if you look at the map I posted the colored segments are each 80-115 miles roughly. It seems there are gas stations and motels etc at each junction of the colored segments. Im personally hoping for a campground somewhere with showers too maybe? Plenty of campgrounds in WY, a lot will depend on how fast everyone wants to pace ourselves as this map was assembled for 2 wheelers versus 4 wheelers
So how many are going now? Looks like a solar shower could be a big hit. Hotel/motels in July might be pricey as H.You +1
I'll wave when I pass you guys by on the way north, does that count?So how many are going now? Looks like a solar shower could be a big hit. Hotel/motels in July might be pricey as H.You +1
Me + 2
Shawn + 1 maybe??
America Mike +1 maybe??
Little Don is a possible, but not until the last day or two. He wants to meet up on the trail
Salt town Dave should
So should the Texas man
Be cool to see Nate sneak in
Bring along Kenneth
Heck, I have no actual clue....
Only if its with all the fingers together,,,,,,,,,,,Even if it's only aimed at Shawn?

I think the trip was a lofty goal, I would like to meet up at some point but honestly have no chance of a trip of that nature.Dave, I would welcome that idea...of a meet up at my farm. As early as this fall or next warm season, or ???
My family trips are and need to be centered around them at this point in my life I feel. It’s hard for me to ask my already over extended wife to let me run off for a few days. Also don’t see my littles in a spot to follow me on a big adventure for a few years with out me loosing my mind.
I still would like to come camp at Dons place. The road trip there would be fun, lots of places along the way to see, and a great end destination. The cost wouldn’t be but fuel and food, the places for services along the way would b plentiful. Kentucky is more centered I think for folks except JR who is at the most extreme end of the USA.
?????? Thoughts ??
