Are you threatening us with a good time? Sounds fun.

Well, that should make the kiddo happy. Lol.

I very much enjoy watching your video's. I hope to be coming up your way sometime soon. I'd love to tag along on one of your ventures if it would be possible. Love that old Jeep motor putting along on the trail. I posted a comment on your day two trip.

I really like your channel George. Yours is less YouTuby, it’s always about the adventure and the scenery.

When I come to PNW to visit you I am hoping I can trip out with this @GHCOE if he will let me. Did you follow his trailer build ?

Not really... I don’t like trailers... I fallowed his jeep though

Here's hoping this trip is less hairy than the last one. Not sure how I'd feel about sliding down hill in the mud with my 4yo in the rig with me.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Can't wait to meet everyone there...

We will keep you in tow if needed... :-)

If you like snow wheeling then yes!

Thanks! Yes the old Jeep has a nice note as if moves along. The motor has a lot of torque down low so it rarely seems to be working hard.

I don't put much restrictions on who can attend. Although maybe in the future I may have to rethink things if the groups start to get too big.

What is not to like about trailers? If done right they work real well. Stay away from those heavy manufactured units and you will do just fine.

Yes.. Try and avoid those situations.

Looking forward to meeting more like minded people for sure.

Nothing wrong with trailers... personally I don’t like them... I’ve built a couple over the years, and I find for my traveling they limit me... for you they look like they work fine... I like to be be self contained inside my rigs.

I wish I was closer George. Your trips look like so much fun.

How much do you think your trailer weighs. I just bought a small cargo trailer and it weighs + - 750#. What I put in it probably won't weigh 300#. See my post on Daily check in for today's date 11/21/20. Tell me what you think.

George, the kid and I had a ball yesterday. Especially on that last hill we went up. Can't wait for the next one!

I could'nt find your post.

Dry weight before modifications was 373lbs. It is probably in the 450-475lbs now with frame stiffener/tongue extender and larger wheels. I usually have about 100-200lbs. in the trailer depending on the trip. Most of that weight is what I normally would be carrying in the Jeep so that is really a wash.

Good to hear! It was a fun little side trip for sure. Glad Bob suggested it. I should have some pictures up later today. Thanks for coming.
