With your rig you should have no problem in BB or the Ranch.

Lots to see in the area. Plenty of asphalt in BB with the associated traffic. The dirt roads inside the park are much less traveled if that's your thing. Big Bend Ranch State Park is much more remote and rugged and is just west of Terlingua. If your rig is capable and you're good with...

Hello from Chapel Hill!

There are "upper and lower" ball joints, "inner and outer" tie rods. If they really said upper and lower tie rods, I'd get a second opinion.

I was there for one night about a year ago and found it clean, quiet and the staff very friendly. I"d definitely stay there again if in the area.

But how will it look on da "gram"?

I'm watching and headed that way in about 10 days!

I'd spend at least a day, maybe two from the North Rim proper working my way over to Kanab Point. All the points starting at Point Sublime working north thru Crazy Jug are worth seeing. Cottonwood Canyon, Kodachrome Basin SP and Bryce were a disappointment to us. (Bryce due to the crowds...

Looks like a great "30 day" trip, :).

Welcome from Orange Co, NC

Check out Kinsmen Hardware.

I’ll be following this too but don’t want to hi-jack your thread. Currently have an aux Group 31 battery in a Natl. Luna box which goes into the tent at night to power my CPAP machine. I’m getting old and it’s getting heavy so I’ve been watching/researching LifePo4 batteries since they are much...

I retired in 2017 and my wife in 2018. So far this year we've been on two trips totalling about 55 days. We have one more planned for after Labor Day which will be in the 3-4 week range so we're making up for lost time :). At this point, we're thinking the northern Rockies up to Alaska in 2020.

As CSG said, the Kaibab NF is huge and finding a campsite should be no problem. Locust, Timp and N. Timp point are all great and require no permits. Crazy Jug is a little further north and it also requires no permit.

Considering your past experiences, I'd skip Zion and Bryce and maybe skimp a little on Moab and Ouray. Go to the north rim and spent 3-4 days. The obligatory "in the park" stuff will take a day for all the touristy stuff. Then go back just outside the gate and turn east and find a dispersed...

Duh! Forgot the link! https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/a-couple-days-exploring-cherokee-pisgah-and-nantahala-natl-forest.12440/

In my opinion, yes. We spent 5 weeks in that area in June and July and it is phenomenal but I'm afraid your schedule won't allow for seeing much other than "out the window". The north rim has 2-3 busy days worth of sights to see. Most of it is in the NF, not the park which means you don't have...

Wow, that's a pretty aggressive itinerary!

Welcome to NC. Most of the fun stuff is in western NC from my perspective. Here's a link to a thread that will be worth reading through including a map for the northwest corner of the state. Most of those roads are either county gravel or easy forest service roads.

Enjoying your trip report. Yellowstone is always pretty incredible as is Zion NP, my favorite. We came thru Zion in mid-June and the crowds were out of control. We didn't see a single overlook that wasn't over-packed with cars etc. Fortunately, the dirt roads just outside the park were mostly...
