Hey guys, it's always good to get out. We are going to try and get a group together for the Wisconsin Trail this coming spring. I do have another road trip planned for the summer, so far we have 3 rigs going, finishing the Trans American Trail. Then up to the Artic Circle and Dead Horse on the Dalton Highway.
I'm definitely interested, anybody else traveling with kids? Also what kind of comms is everyone running? I'm outfitting my vehicle now so it's ready for spring

We always welcome kids. It just takes a little patience, and it's always fun to see them learn and explore new things.

I might be interested in joining you guys for a run on the Wisconsin Trail (I hate typing TWAT). Do you have dates yet?
I'd probably be going with kids (14 & 12) and a couple dogs.

Not sure on dates yet. Kids and the dogs are welcome, we do make a couple of stops in public places , Patosi at the Restaurant and brewery museum. The Delta Diner. We sometimes will camp out on Madaline Island. Go to our website and give me a call mid June. Now thinking July some time. This next trip will be more true to the route , so 4x4 and camping will be the thinking. It would be great to have you come along. What do you have for a rig?

I drive a stock 2008 JKUR with a winch and LOD bumpers. I imagine it should handle the trail pretty well.
Do you guys use the GPS maps hosted by Lone Wolf Expeditions? If so, what GPS app do you use for them? I have the factory GPS, but I don't believe it also for map files to be uploaded other than the factory discs. I have an iPhone and iPad, so need something compatible with them. I am interested in what you guys use to run that trail. Thanks!

I use a standard GPS, but when I did the Trans American Trail I used a trail card insert, it worked very well. We also use a Wisconsin atlas, more detail. Your JK will handle the Wisconsin Trail easily. The last time we did it we had a sprinter van in the group and altered the route a bit. It is a nice run. Lots of fun.

I did some snooping around on YouTube and found Gaia is compatible with the TWAT maps. I am playing with it now and it has some really cool features.

Welcome, Joe here. Glad to have you on the site. We do make a trip to various trails from time to time. We will let you know when we hit the trail again. It's always nice to have folks along. Hoping to make near 10,000 miles this year on the trails.
Thank you! Please keep me posted) Was build my jeep whole winter from bone stock)

Looks good. It would be nice to see it sometime, even better to see it on a trail.
Hello overlanders. I am from naperville, IL getting into overlanding. I have 2014 JKUR, done quite a bit of offroading and built/building my M416 Trailer into a camper. Would love an opportunity to go overlanding with the rest of the folks, no idea where to start

Looks like a nice rig. Do some research on the Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail. It is a nice run and close. 600 miles or so one way. We are trying to get an active group together near Cedar Rapids Iowa, keep an eye out for us, you would be welcome.

Hey all,
We are down for the Trans Wisconsin trail this spring. I'm in my New Taco and it craves adventure.
We are headed to MOAB the end of March but down for anything here in the Midwest. I would be carrying 2 kids and Wifey as well but
they are all Scouters that know how to start fires and camp :)

I have been thinking about if for quite some time and even planning on it. I would like to go with your group if my schedule permits.
Same here, wife and 2 kids with a jeep and a trailer. We are going to Moab for EJS 2019, Campsite booked and trails all set to go. Heck of a drive but its worth it. I was there for labor day safari 2017 and we had a blast.
