  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Hello from Southern New Mexico

    You might want to check in with Lanlubber. He is in NM. He is fighting cancer at the moment, he might enjoy some encouragement.

    Severe Over-Land "Trail Rash", do you say; "oh no", or "who cares"?

    Thanks, it takes a lot of work to keep a 37 year old vehicle looking nice. There is absolutely zero rust. The is probably less than 4 ounces of skim coat filler on it. I have over 700k on the clock. I have over 200k on the stroker. The interior looks as good as the exterior.

    Severe Over-Land "Trail Rash", do you say; "oh no", or "who cares"?

    I do all my own body and paint work I did 5 coats of clear but every couple of years I wet sand it down, mask it off and re do the clear coat before I get down into the paint.

    Relying on Paper Maps, Vehicle GPS, and Natural Instincts

    The lat/ lon is listed down the sides of the Gazetteer maps so just get that from your phone and look it up on the paper maps. I carry a sextant with me for backup.

    Relying on Paper Maps, Vehicle GPS, and Natural Instincts

    GPS is cool but a lot of hassle getting the right maps and such. I have had mine crap out multiple times. I try to never go anywhere without GOOD paper maps. Not the best, but Delorme makes the Gazetter series of maps by state.

    Emergency 2 way communication

    The problem in Colorado is that you are typically in a canyon or down low. The repeaters are rarely even close to line of site which is commonly around a half mile. If you can get to the top of a mountain, ham works pretty good but there are lots of areas with zero coverage. Terrain means...

    Emergency 2 way communication

    Radio communications is sketchy at best in the mountains. More power rarely helps. The best bet is satellite. I love the gal that ran off the road and down a mountain in Rocky Mtn Park. She was there for several days. She tried to sue the park, saying it was a government responsibility and...

    Not a bad view for lunch
