I will really try to get to this one. I've been very inactive with this group, usually doing loner things, or planning weeklong trips for a group of my Retired Old Fart friends from around the country. Want to find out if anyone is using OnX versus Gaia GPS, and what they think, how they...

I'd love to go to this. But being an old art with macular degeneration, I can't drive safely after dark. I will be going to either the NWOR and/or the BCOR this year. also looking at the north half of the CDT with some old fart friends from Expo Portal. Maybe also the UTBDR in June/July...

PapaDave, Sure wish that I could make this trip. This is the perfect time of the year to do Magruder! I will just be getting back from a 8-10 day trip with some retired old fart friends in Montana. Maybe next year??? Dale WU7X

Hey PapaDave, Thanks for sending me the invitation. Unfortunately, we'll be heading out to MN on that date for two weeks. Please keep me in your email group. Nanc and I would love to join everyone some time this summer. Dale

C U there!

Dang! I have always wantedd to explore the Owyhee area. Did a geolgy project around Jordon Valley many, many years ago. Wanted to head east and check out the area around the river ever since. It's my birthday (74th) on May 31st, and my son and his wife just moved back to Spokane after 25 years...

I purchased this about one year ago. In use only once before trailer died. So in near new condition with some dust included gratis. :-) New these are super heavy duty and sell for ~$400, but are pretty much unobtainium at the moment. You can get this one for $250. Pick up only in Spokane, WA.

I took this off my trailer about a year ago and it has been hanging in the garage rafters since then. actually used less than 10 times. In great shape. Comes with all three wall sections for huge, huge tent like cover. Also comes with the two additional poles and all ropes, etc., plus new...

Now we wre getting somewhere! The road went on to look like this. Back in my two wheel days...

I'm old and so is my inReach. It is one of the original DeLorme SE (yellow) models. It still still works great. I have it mounted semi-permanently in a RAM suction mount or on a RAM 1" ball mount in the the T4R. I usually just run it without the contract around town during the winter months...

thanks for the update! With my poor eyesight, the 10" model would have to be the way to go. But the cost is crazy. I just purchased a new 13" iPad 2 Pro for about the same price. Still stuck with the same issue. i love Gaia GPS but the screen visibility in daylight is really poor. guess...

Anything new on a v 2?

Dang Steve, I'll be on Day #2 of the HOTW. We'll get together soon though. Dale

Question for this group: I own an iPad 2, think it's a 10" version that I've had for several years. I run both Gaia GPS and inReach sofftware on it. My only issue is screen visability while mounted on the dash. It's terrible. How is the Garmin Overlander's visibility while mounted in your rig?

Here is a side shot of my Mission Overland trailer. We've had it for two summers now and it has around 12,000 on the tires. We really love it. The propane heater is great on the chilly mornings we experienced along the St Joe.
