Some pretty cool solutions there. Jack

As the owner of a 2006 Chevy 2500HD 4x4, following are my thoughts. Cons: 1) The frame rail is low as compared to other HD trucks. This means less ground clearance which you will notice on dirt roads. 2) The independent front suspension means you have to drive slower on dirt roads because the...

Looks like a great trip. A lot of it looked very familiar from trips in the past. We ended up in the same area, but we didn't get down there till Saturday, so we missed you. Still plenty to see down there. Jack

I started in GPS with a Garmin GPS III and a Lowrance GlobalMap 3000MT. I liked the GM's display size and user interface, but not their total lack of support or care about maps that they didn't already offer. The Garmin "GPS x" family is perfect for how I mostly use a GPS, just a little small in...

Jack, i agree 100%. Could get a netbook computor and the add ons to go with but to clumsey. I have been using a 15" laptop too big. Guess we can never be happy....................... I started with a Garmin GPSIII also, have tried a few different things, including my gpsIII years ago...

Very nice job on the OBA. I had a engine driven York on my LandCruiser and have ordered Kilby's kit for my duramax. Can't wait to have OBA again. It is so handy when you have it. Jack

Looks like it will be a great trip, too bad I won't be able to make it. Wife is on "call," so we have to stay close to home. There are some great areas to explore in that area. We are planning some adventures later in the spring. Trying to get the mods that I have purchased for the truck...

White Dog you are correct. Have checked into them and if you want to play with it you need the portible unit. Better unit all round, graphics etc. The unit to get is the Montana 4" with all the bells and whistle, but at $550 did not need one that bad. If I was leaving the vehicle often then for...

While I haven't driven the PET, I have been "around" a lot of it in that area. Keep in mind that most of the roads out here are used by the ranchers/BLM/hunters/Fish & Game/etc. Almost all of them drive full-size trucks. I have found that when looking at the Benchmark, if it is a small red...

Great job on the video. Good to see the familiar ground covered. Jack

Thanks for the report. I understand what you say about Bryce - it's nice but... Thank you. Yeah, Bryce seems very touristy, but Escalante is just down the road with lot's to share. The locals at Escalante told us that Hole in the Rock attracts the tourist types, but Boulder/Burr...

Sounds like the locker paid for itself. Gotta love that. Jack

Great photos with the post. I haven't ever been to southern Utah, only around SLC. It's definitely on the list. Thanks for sharing. Thanks. We have traveled a large portion of South central and eastern Utah, but this was our first time in the western area. And it should be on your list...

Looks like another great weekend. Great pics as usual. Cult?? Well I'm not drinking any kool-aid with you guys if we ever meet up, can't be too careful... :P Jack

Thanks, it was a great trip. Jack

Time to hike back up... We had lunch and headed back down trail to find a good camp spot. We found a spot, this is the view out the back door. Had a good rest, got up the next morning, broke camp and headed out. We passed an interesting looking road on the way in called 50 mile shelf...

We got to Bryce in the afternoon and were a little disappointed. It is ok, but definitely not one I would go back to. We drove to the end and back, took a few pictures and decided to camp outside of the park. Bryce sits in the 7k' range, so it was a cold night. Last year, we had...

And the trail goes on. Looking back down at the beginning of the trail. Finally reached the top and looking northwest. Heading back down, we passed a guy heading up, so I took a picture of him on the trail to get some perspective. We finished the trail and headed over to Bryce Canyon.

We got into Zion NP before lunch and looked around to figure what/how we wanted to do. The only thing we knew was that we wanted to do Angels Landing Trail. We had lunch and got on the tram and headed up the valley. We rode to the end and back to the "Grotto" as a jumping off point. We...

So D and I had a week to do something and because we had covered other parts of southern Utah, we decided to make this one a bit more "touristy." We got a late start last Saturday afternoon and picked Spencer's Hot Springs as our first stop along US50. It was very busy, not sure what the...

Looks like a great trip/rally. Sorry to have missed it. We had obligations on Saturday morning, so no way for us to make it, plus we were heading south. Jack

Well, looks like we are out. Something has come up for that Saturday. Have fun, looking forward to the report. Jack

So what is the plan post rally point? Or does everyone want to figure it out at the rally point? Also, is everyone using Ham, CB or GRS radios for comm? I have plans of heading south to the Bryce Canyon area starting that following week, but no reason why I couldn't squeeze in a little Black...

Great pics and report. I thought you had sold the LX? I sold the 80 I had when we met in Death Valley. Great rigs, just not what we wanted anymore. If you get a FWC, you will like it. Jack

Thanks everyone. Don't worry, a saw will be part of the packing list from now on. :lol: We can't wait to do another trip, we have been traveling in Nevada's backcountry for years and just can't get enough. Jack
