I hate to steer anyone away from any National Parks, but you need to know what to expect at Yellowstone. It is going to be crazy busy, stop and go, no parking, huge crowds, etc. I went before COVID and I was very disappointed and will not go back. Too many stupid people that don’t care about...

It seems that no matter how far in advance I plan something, and work hard to get ready, I never feel like I have everything done. Then at the last things pop up. I am getting on a flight to Miami, and I think my truck needs a new battery. It was acting up this weekend, but no time to fix it...

I will second the need to read the owners manual. Each vehicle is different and you need to know the type of transfer case you have. Most modern vehicles have an open T-case that allows for driving in 4wd on any surface. Some have a “lock” position, if so you need to limit its use in high...

So, we will meet at A&J Market at 8:00am Monday morning. I have a hotel in the area to save time. If you need to get ice, food or other supplies, please arrive early as I want to hit the trails at 8:30am after a quick intro and drivers meeting. I am really looking forward to meeting with you...

Perfect! Also look at the area near Bethel Ridge. There is a bypass that we will do unless you tell me it is in a lot better shape than the last time we did this. Last year it was wet and torn up, less than 3 miles took us over 3 hours. We also beat the rigs up and broke some stuff. I’m...

I want to get a group input on camping spots. I normally do not pre plan where to camp. I have done this route before, 3 times on the lower part and we never had pre-planned camp spots. I have also done other trips the same way. I always just travel till it seems like a good time to stop and...

Right on, I look forward to you joining us.

I was Air Force and we also had a risk management system. I have always lived for the thrill of the risk, but as I get older I understand that I really should take fewer risks. The risk assessment system works to identify the risks and give you tools to reduce the risk or deal with it if it...

I also have a Nemo and love it. My is a Down rectangular bag. It has a pocket for my insulated Thermo-rest pad. Between the two I have slept great even in cold temps. I used both while doing Moto-camping adventures and off road travel. You can’t go wrong with a Nemo, great quality bags.

Welcome, I look forward to meeting you and your wife. I think this is going to be a great trip.

I know that the Rally Point said a limit of 15, however I will not put a hard cap on the number of people going. If we need to we can divide into 2 groups, but I don't think it will be an issue. Also, GPS downloads of the official route can be downloaded here: Download Tracks - Backcountry...

Do you have everything you need to make good meals? If so you lack nothing. While there is nothing wrong with a fancy elaborate kitchen setup, there is a lot to be said about a nice simple easy and light kitchen. Every extra item you pack is just more weight on what is almost always vehicles...

My dog will be on the trip, she is a Chocolate Lab and very sweet also. All dogs need to be on some kind of leash, so if there is an issue it will not be a problem to keep the dogs in separate areas. My dog is a pampered inside dog, so she does whine a little if she is not by us, but we can just...

Sounds like you are well equipped for our little adventure. I love a classic Land Cruiser and look forward to seeing it on the trail. We should talk about Baja this trip as it is on my bucket list also. I have been there, drove down from Tacoma Wa. and spent a week. However I was in a 12...

This will be awesome, I look forward to seeing that Crown Vic on the trail. I am a huge Panther chassis fan. I currently have a 2009 Town Car, and my daughter has a 2011 Crown Vic. I have had at least 5 Panthers over the years with my favorite being a 1990 Country Squire wagon. To keep things...

Yes, the route is an official route. Your can, and should buy the Butler WABDR map. GPS routes are also available. I will locate and post them up here, but paper maps should be on hand as a back up. However as long as we stick together a few copies is all we need. If you are not skilled with...

You will be fine. We are in it together and will help you out. Love to have you join us.

Perfect! I look forward to having you join us. Your rig looks great, can’t wait to see it in person.

Awesome, glad to have you on board

I know that many on this forum have a love affair with the Jeep JK/JKU and with the latest 4Runners. I travel every week for work and I get to rent all kinds of vehicles. I have rented several Jeeps or the JK/JKU variety and I hate them. You could not give me one. Last week I rented a 2021...
