I should look at what I'm doing this May hmm

Getting the trip planning going, really looking forward to this! May pick up a 12V fridge for the trip since we'll be camping our way down.

I'm still a maybe, trying to convince Gena that driving 2000 miles, wheeling a 100k mile truck around shit that scares her to death and spending money I shouldn't is a good idea. That being said...

What's everyone thinking on accommodations? Hotels look to be fairly pricey. Cabins aren't badly priced. I don't mind camping, but I have to have a shower or I look and feel like crud.

Edit: Oh, am I the only one who would like to get some non-motorized two-wheel action in too?

 

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Just tell her we're doing more distance in an older vehicle with 271K and I'm terrified of heights. You're officially less dumb than me and that's a great start!

 

[CrzRsn]

Oh right. This is a thing. I should probably start planning the trip, figuring out flights/logistics and coordinating with one of y’alls.

My vehicle is over 180,000 miles...

There are a few campsites in town with showers, or there are some just out of town along the river that don't have showers (but you can take a dip in the river).

That's all you.

I'm excited to get the Lexus prepped for this trip. I need to call the offroad shop back and see if they've found my future bumper yet...

Realized last night that May 4-8 is M-F. Going to be seriously difficult for me in that case. Was hoping this trip would at least straddle a weekend.

Fair enough. You do have about 1/4 the travel distance though.

There are a few campsites in town with showers, or there are some just out of town along the river that don't have showers (but you can take a dip in the river).

I'll do whatever the rest are going to do. Probably should have place we all can hang out at, right? Ala Ring Meet.

That's all you.

Damn, I hope someone else likes to mountain bike.

 

[Der Stig]

@CraigB I can try to bring mine up!

We wanted the weekends for people to travel to and from, since it's not exactly near any major airports.
