That might struggle a bit on this route- Time to call in a favor to you friends! :)
Off-Road Ranger I
Just crawled out of the Bull Trout Lake area after 5 days. Chased out by snow on the last day. This trip looks like fun, would love to join. Have a question on the road where you plan to jump off paved roads. Asking because I would be coming up Hwy 20 from Boise direction (about 3 hours). If you plan to head back down 20 from Arco I could save some wasted driving expense picking up everyone where you would turn off.

On-X describes the Lemhi Pass as "Steep & Narrow" though I have several photos of full size vehicles like a Tundra driving it. Can you air down your expedition tires for rough and steep sections? That should help. Lemhi Pass should be the only place that might be tight for you.

You are welcome to join us wherever works for you. Be sure to download the .GPX route (or OnX) and have good distance communication so you are aware where we will be and when. My experience has been mixed with meeting up mid route, kind of like trying to hit two arrows mid flight :) but it can happen! The biggest issue is if we have to re-route, then we will meet up at the planned campgrounds.

I've had some changes that will prevent me from going on this trip. Darn! I've saved the route and am looking forward to your critique when you get back. Might be something I do in the future.

We are a week out from the trip, has everyone been able to download the tracks and waypoints? Any last minute questions? What comms will you have in the vehicle? We are really looking forward to this!
