Nice trip and hit some of my favorite places!

It'll depend on a couple of things revolving arounf work for me but I'm less than a days drive from the start and finish, coulfd probably leave in the evening and be there for a morning departure.

Isn't there a 'official' start point right outside Laughlin on the Colorado River? Seems like maybe meeting in/near Laughlin the night before might be an option.

Maybe, that or Camino del Diablo are on the list for the near future, both would be ideal.

I run a Grandby on a Tundra and have had 3 in it on more than one occasion, not sure I'd want to try it with a Fleet for any length of time. I would go 3/4 or 1 ton on the truck, in my case I had the truck first and it works but when the time comes I'll probably go straight to a 1 tone ideally...

Thanks for the report! Always a pleasure to be reminded of how many special places are out there.

Thereis a road report available for the Escalante at https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/documents/files/GSENM-Road-Condition-Report.pdf It is put out by the BLM but is updated infrequently so isn't always the most reliable, the current posting is from August, almost three months old. Also...

Great shots Andy! I guess it's time for me to start thinking about a trip to Bosque del Apache this year but seems like the rest of the year is already pretty full...

Callie and Mogi might share some genetics. Mogi and aisie are heelers. I typically sleep on the couch, Mogi sleeps downstairs as well. The other three sleep up to with my housemate, seems to work out the best for all.

What I have as well. Only thing closer to the door is a ammo can with tools in it and it just sets under the truck at night.

Sammie, Maisie, Rebel in New Mexico Mogi in Utah Sammie and Mogi at Indian Creek Falls Getting all four into one shot is pretty much impossible.

Wallowa's thread about the WHite Rim Trail got me thinking and looking at dates, turns out White Crack Campsite is currently available for New year's Eve, matter of fact most campsites are available during that time so thinking about putting a trip together. A quick Google search shows there...

I think we started April 2nd, the three vehicles met on the first just outside I-Sky. I spent March 31st driving from Tuweep to Kodachrome Basin and had intermittent snow the whole day, woke up on the 1st at Kodachrome to a little over an inch on the truck. Had pretty decent weather for the...

This is spot on. Mine digital Honeywell worked fine Thursday night and then quit working after that. Oh well, live and learn, if the new one is off by a couple degrees because it's mechanical rather than digital its not the end of the world.

Had my Honeywell digital thermostat fail on me while camped at 7300' during a recent trip to New Mexico. Thought it was batteries but tried three alternate sets that I had with me and none of them got the thermostat working though their source devices worked just fine, so going back to the...

I've thought about doing it and would do the full trip if I could swing the time just because having days on the water like that are so rare and it's nice to get into a multi-day mindset and stay there.

Might be around KofA around that time, have also looked at doing the Mojave Road.

Utah public school calendar for 2019-20 can be found here. The issue with Spring Break isn't just the public schools it is the influx of college kids that also come for climbing/hiking/mtn biking and general exploration. If you really want to avoid the Spring Break circus you'll probably need...

Phil- We were in Butler Wash, below Cedar Mesa last Easter weekend (3rd week of April I think, and the temps were upper 80's to low 90's but that was unseasonably warm, there was still snow around the Bear's Ears buttes that weekend and up higher so we didn't venture uo that way. KofA seems to...

Phil- KofA NWR in Arizona is a great place. Cedar Mesa in Utah could provide lots of time for exploring and options for day hikes with Comb and Butler Washes to the east providing more opportunities. There will probably still be snow higher up in The Abajo's at that time of year. We just got...

Snowy Egret flyfishing for breakfast this week.

Looks like maybe you made a stop at Weir Creek Hot Springs?! That was always a favorite after a day kayaking on the Lochsa. Thanks for the continued report, looking forward to the next installment.

Looks like a great start to an adventure! Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a great trip!

Wow! Glad both of you are OK!
