Best time would be end of Oct/first of Nov. The weather is starting to cool down but they big crowds haven't started to the Park yet. I'm heading out for Idaho in 2 weeks and will be on an extended road trip for nearly a month so won't being doing anything this year but next year is always a...

I was the only one that showed up last year. This year I’ll be doing the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route so won’t be doing Big Bend. That means there will probably be a big crowd.

RAJ LMTV did it last you from Ft Worth but split the drive into 2 days. I don't think I can do that even then with my LMTV. Any trips of that length from now on are in the POV or riding with someone else.

It's 7 hours for me but looks about 10 from your place. You definitely need to spend more than a day or 2 there to make it worthwhile. I was hoping for a week this time but things didn't pan out and I doubt I'll make it back for several years.

Wound up going solo (well the wife was there too :) ) in my POV. We actually had a great time and I met up with a fellow from MD I connected with on Expedition Portal. Unfortunately he was driving a Subaru Forester so couldn't do the road I really wanted to try - Black Gap Road. I did it...

Unless you were walking through quicksand it was probably tough to get yourself stuck miles from nowhere :) (Yes I know he could have gotten hurt and been stranded, just making a joke. Lighten up Francis)

Well that was what this was supposed to be. Nothing close to me that offers any real "stress test" for the equipment so the next outing will be on the way to the Overland West Expo next May. "Car Camping" was not what I had in mind when I started investing in this and the only real way to try...

At this point looks like everyone is bailing. Since no one else will be there the MRS said if I went I had to stay on improved roads only as there wouldn't be any back up in case I got stuck. Thought about ignoring her but then if I did get stuck there would be heck to pay. So to me, if I'm...

A lot of people try just using the hand throttle too but I have this whole "don't want to kill anyone" thing going. My issue is I have Multiple Sclerosis and my right leg is extremely weak due to that. AND I broke my right kneecap back in March and it's never gotten back to the strength it was...

The trip is still on but a few changes have been made. Number one is we're moving the date to Oct 30-Nov 5. Hopefully the weather will be a bit cooler during the daytime. And number two is that I won't be bringing the LMTV. I did about an 80 mile trip yesterday with a parade in the...

I hear ya. Still probably 10 hours for me. We did have a LMTV from the Dallas area last year though. I'm just waiting for someone from Beaumont to show up and we can award them the Cast Iron Butt award. AND this isn't limited to TX folks. It's a whole lot closer from spots in NM than it is...

I've got a 12" battery operated one you can use during the day but it's mine at night :)

Unfortunately I'm stuck with the date. We invited Juli's sister and brother-in-law and they had to schedule vacation in advance.

About 3.5 months to go. Anyone planning to attend?

We're planning another trip this Oct. No MV is necessary if you just want to come and hang out.

Tim, I appreciate the offer and would love to see Colton but think I'm covered. Keith is going to give Juli a ride to town tomorrow to get my truck (had to drive myself but with the new brace no way to get home on my own) but other than that we're good. Just kind of disappointed that I was just...

The good news it's not a "displaced fracture" so no surgery is required. As for now I'm in a hip to ankle brace and can put absolutely no weight on it. It won't be until the next x-ray, a week from Monday, that I find out if I can fly. I'm scheduled to be in Idaho on St Patrick's Day and I'm...

Tore the ligaments in my right ankle. I have the ortho on speed dial. I give him so much business that he got me in 2 hours after calling on a Friday afternoon.

Guess I should have made those loan payments on time. Here's how the x-ray looks. Fortunately doesn't sound like surgery is needed.

Well broke my right knee cap today (knee is currently about the same size as my thigh) so good thing this isn't for a few months now.
