I think it's great we support all the formats with a standard. However I need help deciding on what format is best for us to expect. I'm sorry for bludgeoning y'all with my ignorance especially since y'all were having a great technical discussion and set frequencies for us to use. Making...

CB has what, like a 3-5 miles range? I guess I'm not familiar with the ranges we're talking in comms. I'm thinking element maneuver I suppose, not meetup and such. When in a group how often does comm range need to be greater than 5 miles?

Good luck. I moved the opposite direction; Dallas to Las Vegas. Oh and as the official, unofficial Las Vegas organizer, @Vegajeepguy should organize meet up before you leave so we can all wish you luck on your move. :grinning: <edit cause I used the wrong username>

Love it. Maybe people can even put a status that shows up for their friends. "On Trail" or some such. Hmmm, that status could even be used as a where you are/when to be back/when to worry/when to call rescue format. My wife travels a lot for work and I either go places alone or stay home...

So new member here, never been on a ride with anyone else and would love to group up and do some more adventurous trails. I know we'll need to communicate during those trips and am keenly interested in the decisions being driven here. Outside of cell phones I don't own any radios at at right...

Awww man, would love to go but I got on the bike and am in Pheonix right now. I want to do Alamo Rd sometime before the real cold sets in. Maybe the Sunday before Thanksgiving?

While I do ride, I just don't do any trails on my 1100 Vstar. Thought about a trail bike and heading out but the wife likes to go with me. We've done a fair amount of backpacking so we have the gear for cycle overlanding and just haven't taken a trip yet. Maybe this thread is the inspiration to...

Adventure is necessary. All the core principals. I'm a recent transplant and find the desert just calls to you. After spending the summer camping and hiking in the mountains I realized there is an entire world out that that's just too far to walk to. I purchased an FJ Cruiser to explore the...

Hola and welcome. Nice rig!

Thread resurrection to see how these have come to fruition. I have been hot on the trail of a RTT myself and am considering building one. Wife hates the idea and wants some "professional". I was hoping to see some DIY outcomes and think about the possibilities. BONUS: wife is working away...

I recommend Bird and Hike as THE guide for interesting nature spots to visit in the Las Vegas Area. It's focus is hiking but that's just one way to see the wild places. https://www.birdandhike.com/Glyphs/_Glyph_index.htm https://www.birdandhike.com/Roads/_Roads_index.htm

Meteor Crater is just SE of Flagstaff, maybe 5 miles south of I-40. Try and plan to pass that area during the day so it's open. One note: It's just past the time zone line in the summer so it's likely an hour earlier than you think it is. Use the clock on your phone to know the time. Don't...

I believe the easiest ones to see are in the Valley of Fire State park. The park is worth visiting even if you don't care to see the petroglyphs.

Fair cop on the point of this thread. I certainly can't speak for their political position on overlanding based on what I get at the store level. I know their fascination is with human powered locomotion. Quite frankly I didn't even ponder it from a corporate POV and do not know enough of the...

Gotcha. Thanks!

I understand your point. I'm just articulating that hasn't been my experience in Boca Park. Even when talking with them about that Skyrise 3 they were pretty excited to get feedback about it. As I said: your mileage may vary.

Thanks guys! Got the message sent now.

@Desert Runner: I'm new to Las Vegas and need all that local knowledge! Oh and I tried to send message to Overland_Mike but I can't send until I get a 1% like on my posts. Help a brotha out and like this post so I can get on the meetup list :)

Las Vegas member check in! I'm new to this so I'm hoping someone helps be kit out with what I actually need to handle the desert.

Thanks for the compliment! If you ever wander up to Southern Nevada lets get together. I know I'll be down in Az during the winter and I'll make sure to shout out for trail tips.
