    What a great trip in the making. The Utah Traverse is a neat route but don't get too locked down on a GPS "download & drive" of the route verbatim in fact many different groups have given it their own spin as you can see on ExpeditionUtah.com links. We (Expedition Overland) recently did this traverse through some fantastic Utah locations

    Probably end of may then. I think I'm super down to take a big break from work and we should not be busy at that time!

    Need to take advantage of my weeks off.

    Very good tip -- thank you. I've been looking into the traverse a lot and like you said: several options. I like options. Do you have a write up on your trip somewhere? I always enjoy a good read. Cheers, mate!

    For everything TW has done for me this past 13 months, I'd love to pay it forward. Might even follow you around a day or two. I'm always looking to hit the road!
