I cut this out of the paper yesterday. The cat got hold of it before I could take a picture of it (hence the tear).
Ever been accused of this?
Today is 28 June. We start our mental illness enabling trip 28 July - one month from today. Looking forward to hitting the trail!

Here's a better picture of the comic strip (pulled off the internet) if you want to save it for whatever reason. If only I could edit the word "camping" to "overlanding". Oh well....

We've decided to do this trip next year, starting in mountain home, and going up to the Canadian border (and maybe even cross over). So I'm looking forward to what you think of the conditions, and the weather.

Will do, but I'll do that somewhere else. Don't want to clutter this thread up.

Serious question, and this is for my planning purposes. Are we going to be camping each night in a dispersed campground or a designated forest fee campground? Are there any nights we will be in a hotel (I'm fine if we don't just trying to budget)?
Also, I know there are stops along the way we can purchase groceries but are we going to be making many stops or any stops at cafes/diners for food?
Looking forward to the trip.

These are good questions. I like dispersed camping, but when I do extended trips I like to get a hot shower and do some laundry roughly once a week. I will stop at a truck stop for that usually, but I am also usually travelling solo. In between I might hop in a river, or I do have a wee battery shower thingy and a shower tent. I have yet to actually use the tent, lol. Joys of dispersed and solo travel.
Today I finally finished my list of truck preps and I will head out Thursday on my way to meetup with my Bay Area group in Las Vegas on Saturday to explore Colorado before I break away to come join y'all.

Not sure where we'll be camping every night (it is part of the adventure). Depends on what's at the end of each segment, and what's available. Have you bought a paper map? It talks about each segment and what is at the end of each. Feel free to research it further for us.
Doubt any motels. Possibly a rare cafe meal, if we do it will be for dinner when we're done driving for the day.
Of course I want to stop for interesting stuff.

Sometime after the IDBDR and before starting the “something else” we’ll have a laundry and restock half day.
And depending on when we finish the IDBDR it would be fun to have a celebratory meal together before some folks head home.
I’ve had a very busy summer so far, and I’m really looking forward to this adventure.
I’m about half way through my HAM Dummies book.

I will be entering Jarbridge from the south. I will be camping around Deeth, Nevada on Tuesday the 26th and heading into Jarbridge on Wednesday the 27th, just curious to see if anyone is interested in camping with me on Tuesday

For what it's worth, I was planning to head to Deeth and then north from there on the 27th. I'm estimating I'll get into Deeth around 2pm-ish. Will that work for you?
