Thanks for the Intel on the route, much appreciated. We have so much snow in California right now too. Something like 150% of normal. Even if we didn't get any more snow for the rest of winter (which seems unlikely at this point) I think it's looking like very late access to backcountry routes...

I would love to take more time to do those two sections but we have to be back home by August 6, so if we enter at Bonner's Ferry by July 29 we'll have 8 days to do the BDR and make it back to Sacramento. Might be pushing it, I just don't know what our safe speed will be on the BDR. But if the...

Thanks got for the info. I'll keep in touch, if everything goes to plan we'll be cutting over from Whitefish to Bonner's Ferry to join up with the BDR some time during the last week of July. Do you think two days each (4 days total) for the Lolo and Magruder sections is enough time or can both...

@Captain Chaos, thanks for this write up and side trip advice. We're looking at doing the Idaho BDR North- South in late July and the Lolo and Magruder sections were the two parts that were giving me pause. Since the route was designed by motorcycles in mind I was concerned that an FJ Cruiser...

Lol, yeah. Fortunately I'm not in a mudslide prone area and earthquakes are once in a while. But the traffic... it's crippling.

California IMO. State, federal, BLM land, coast, mountains, desert, big trees, the most varied terrain. That said, there's also 40mil people, horrible forest fires, a crushing cost of living, environmentalism that can border on insanity. You take the good, you take the bad...

Hi Kent, Wondering if you have a recommendation for someone who can rebuild coilovers? Sacramento area/Placer/El Dorado? My front Radflo's could probably use some new seals but I'm having a hard time finding anyone that can do the job. Thanks, Eric

Is camping on the lake edge permitted at Crowley? I was thinking the beaches north of the Columns looked like a nice place to set up for the night? Any intel?

Nah, I wouldn't have asked you to move or how long you were staying. That's the great thing about not being tied down to one spot, you can just go on up the road and find something better. I aired down from 36psi to 24psi at the start of the road out of Washington, even that wasn't enough by...

When I called the FS office in Nevada City a very new sounding woman answered the phone. I asked her about the Bowman Lake bridge still being out and she said that people were "using an alternate route around the bridge but, like, it's not something we recommend." So it's good info to let people...

That's great that you saw me. We were thinking about camping where you were, but when we saw your truck down there we continued on. We were able to see just the top of your truck as we were rolling on by. Your truck was the second to last we saw until we ended up at Webber Lake. You may have...

We set out last Sunday, Father's Day, on an overland trip that would take us about 60 miles from Hwy 20 in the west across the Tahoe National Forest and end up at Hwy 89 in the east. Our original plan was to take the Bowman Lake Road until it met up with Meadow Lake Road at the western end of...

The emblem is on Flow-Jo.

Brofessor, which company makes that Gerry can rack?

Took my 16yo 4-wheelin' for the first time. She had a blast.

Went to the OHV park to get some skill work in.

I can't direct you to a particular dispersed site but I've heard the area east of Lake of the Woods has some good sites on forest service roads.

Around Crater Lake? No, it's a national park so no dispersed camping... legally. Outside of the park is a different story.

Congratulations. It's never too late to start a healthy life change. I wish you success. I decided this week to finally get serious about my weight and those last 30lbs I've been carrying around. I'm down 6lbs this week after cutting out carbs and sugar. 24 to go!

I think Amazon and YouTube are your best friends. Let your fingers do the walking basically. I would also suggest you start with these options.
