Superior Mt to Avery Id through Snow Peak WMA - 07/28/2018

[Captain Chaos]

This is a fun trip! It isn’t difficult, but the roads are tight and the climbs are steep! We will camp at Table camp in the Snow Peak WMA.

I'll have to do some recon for this one. Right now snow is still blocking the IDBDR from the Blue Cabin to Avery in the IDBDR, which would make a sweet and most direct return trip for me.

Hey there... This will be our first time out for a Rally.. I scoured the Avery/Wallace trail a few times and it’s a good scenic area.. Looking forward to this..

 

[Captain Chaos]

Glad to hear that! We did the route a couple days ago, lots of photo opportunities.
I forgot to mention the need for communication. I have a cb and a dual band (2m and 70cm) ham radio. (KI7TFB)

 

[Captain Chaos]

@britz we’re hoping you can make it.

 

[Getsome93]

CB equipped we are..

I would love to join! I am curious to see a map of the planned route.

I’m working on a map. I haven’t got it all figured out just yet.

This looks fun, I've never done this trail, but I'm close by in Missoula. I have an F150 on 33's and some maxx traxx; no lockers, no winch. I do have some off road experience, and recovery gear.. Wondering if this trail would be to much for a "sorta" capable full size?

You’ll be fine. The climb up to Conrad will be the hardest, if it’s dry, you won’t have any trouble.

Awesome, I'm going to give this a solid maybe. Thanks Captain Chaos.

CB and Ham as well. K6YTI (K6Yeti). Have a loaner handheld for someone.

I need to start making a cheat sheet of HAM callsigns for our little region. I have @Sandpoint Steve 's, but maybe a talking point at the next Inland Northwest telecon.

Unfortunately I’ll be in New York visiting the Missus over those days but when I get back to Livingston, MT I’ll be down for more off road shenanigans.

 

[Poncate]

Looking forward to exploring that area. Is this a family friendly event?

 

[Captain Chaos]

Yes it is family friendly. We will have our dogs with.

I think my son and myself should be able to attend! Do I need any communication gear? I have been thinking about a CB but this would give me a reason to pull the trigger if so. I don't have Winch or Traction boards...

You should have a cb. You don’t need anything fancy. A Uniden 510 can be had for under $50. Just be sure to install it correctly and tune the antenna. A hand held works well also.
You won’t need traction boards or a winch on this one. I’m sure others will have them if the need arises.
