You guys really need to get Ham radios - it's just too cheap and easy now. :kissingsmiling:

With all due respect having multiple platforms for comms is going to be confusing for folks. Being friendly and inclusive with the lowest barrier to entry is awesome but like having a porta-potty as a requirement there should be a minimum comms requirement. And it should be coordinated for the...

Exactly. Online = faster. My letter took about 2 weeks back in 2010.

Folks that I have spoken with are getting call signs for Ham in a week. A month sounds like anomaly.

285s are an easy fit. MetalTech is a very reputable company and make excellent products with very good customer service. Most mods are very easy to do on your own with basic tools. Look at my signature build link for a very built 100 including MetalTech sliders.

I'm sure you will have great time. I've led about a dozen large trips (up to 20) ... I'm not even on this trip though i may be in that area, just wanted to share some knowledge to help.

It just hit me that you are doing 3 days 2 nights so my camping suggestion above won't work for you. Edit++++ If you dont do the detour you could make it to lower Carruthers which is north of mile maker 45.9 There is a couple of areas that are capable of taking the 40 just a mile up the road.

@fj80toyman / @HMBxplore 40 miles a day is a big push unless you dont want to explore. Camp sites for this large of a group are tough to come by. Watson Wash my not be allowed - at least a section of and it's 50 miles in plus the detour... so 60 miles. A small group could make more miles in a...

What are your areas of interest? I'll use you for recon - I'm leading a 10 vehicle trip in mid- march. :-)

There are sections in mile 40 where the yucca and those pointy little cacti are over the road.

Perhaps clear contact paper then :-)

From the looks of the video the rough section of the road and the lake were in better shape for you than us. What are you thinking for closed section of the road? I would say for a group crossing you'd want the lake to be in better shape. A dry month and moderate temps will probably do it.

I would expect 20 - 36 inches deep for the crossing. You'll be fine if your door seals are intact.

I only suggested 42 because that's where you are essentially... I would have capped it at 14. You shouldn't feel bad about this. You are creating an "event" and you should only take on what you are comfortable being responsible for. Should you stay at 42 you'll need 5 more group leaders that are...

The permit requirement is >7 vehicles / 15 people. The application fee is $69 and $1M liability insurance may be required. A driver on our New years Trip had previously pulled a permit on another run in 2014 - it took six months. You are best to divide this up - 6 groups of 7 vehicles and cap...

Yes that is the second crossing (last one before the campground). We crossed the lake - it was pretty wild in the mud. I would not recommend for novice driver or lesser equipped vehicles right now. March should be ok i'd think if the rain is absent for some weeks before. I don't want to be a...
