Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
A little background and then some lessons learned.
No lift kit or lockers on our H3T, 255/85R16 BFG KM2's, no winch. Carried shovel, ax, maxtrax (2), and a high-lift jack. 25gal fuel tank on truck, 3 5gal Scepter MFC's in bed of truck and 2 4gal Rotopax on trailer. 1 5gal water can just for...
Day 3
Plan was to backtrack to Hidden Valley, hook a left and follow that out to Mesquite.
This was the longest, most jarring and slowest leg of our adventure. Conditions ranged from old two track, to disappearing on a cliff top, to multiple dry river crossings. Other than horseback, and a...
We continued to BLM 103 and turned south, speed was back up on this dirt hardball road until we got to the 1019, after passing through the Oak Grove area the road slowed tremendously and we crept south on Twin Point. The views to the west started peaking through the brush, and we started to get...
The original Trumbull Schoolhouse was burned down by vandals and this structure was erected by the families in the area that had a vested history in the school. We passed the Bundy Ranch when we first came into Hurricane Valley, then to see how much the Bundy's were involved in the valley...
Day 2
Our Son decided that 0630 would be a good time to start the day and so we were at it again. We broke camp and I aired the tires down to 28 psi (from my normal 50 psi), we would be heading across Mt.Trumbull and I wanted a little softer ride and more pliability if obstacles were...
Our view from #7
After we got set and the tent was up we went for a hike down to the point.
The weather was a little different from Mormon Lake, partly cloudy, a sprinkle here and there, 60's. Nice!
After dinner (Rib eyes in frying pan, no fires or charcoal allowed in park...
We got to Torroweep Camp and picked #7 (no dispersed camping available down at Torroweep)
There was a small shelf drop off on the road to sites #4-9, the shelf was filled in with rocks and easily traversed.
As we were coming back to the 115, a group from EXPO made the turn before us, an Earth Roamer (my wife called it an Earthwarmer by mistake, I thought it was funny and maybe a little fitting :lol), Lexus SUV, Dodge with a FWC pulling a trailer for motos, and some moto riders. We were able to...
Day 1
Here was the plan, minus Whitmore, and using Hidden Valley to get to Mesquite.
The plan was to take BLM 115 all the way to Toroweep and camp there, but first we had a quick backtrack to Pipe Springs NM, no Back country Permit, no campy. If you know your plans no more than 6 months in...
So, there we were, we had made it to Mormon Lake on Friday afternoon, with our 11 month old son in tow. The rain, snow, mud and unseasonably cooler temperatures had me rethinking our post EXPO adventure plans, to explore the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Fredonia to Toroweep, Mt. Trumbull...
mmnorthdirections, we signed up for membership, haven't seen anything yet. Was wondering if you could look into it and update our status so we can subscribe to the 2016 Rally thread. We have two emblems coming, along with a few other things, we understand the wait on those.
Thanks, Matt
