Great trip. I would like to go, but not sure about the dates. We might have a family wedding or friends from Texas coming up to camp
found out yesterday, the wedding is happening in July this year, so I am out

Hello NMBruce, No worries, enjoy the wedding. Maybe next year? I've been hosting annual expeditions (and sometimes semi-annual) for the last 9 years (2 years posting on OB). In the meantime time, find another trip and go.

Super tempting trip! I would be coming from the previous event near Ouray, CO. with my son in a 1991 Toyota Troopcarrier on a ~2.5lift, front and rear off-roar bumper and full winch/recovery gear, but no lockers (unless...) is this a 'camp-the-whole time' or periodic town stays along the way? Thanks for your time!

Your rig sounds great and Ouray is my 2nd most favorite... The plan is to camp-the-whole time (Shower Pouches encouraged!). However, we do recommend glamping -or- just simply sleep under the stars. Stringing up a hammock between 2 front hoops is another possibility.

Hey Tom,

This sounds awesome! I'm super new here so I'm not familiar with how this works. I'll be in Durango, Colorado doing some work until July 3rd. Could I meet up with you guys on the trail then for a couple of days before I head out to Oklahoma?

Howdy NessieAndZee, Welcome to the OB community, glad you are here. We should be passing through Moab area around July 3rd northbound on the BDR. Please send me a Private Message and let's see if we can work the logistics out.

Hello Everyone,
Week #1 for the Utah BDR is completely full and now is a waiting list if you wish to participate.
Week #2 for the CO BDR has 1 remaining spot available.
Option #3 for both weeks is no longer available given Week#1 is full; unless you want to be added on waiting list.

Thank you,
-Tom
