    looks that way

    Nope, I've had the same route planned out since February and have posted about it several times - start on saturday, explore roads north of the beartooth, over the beartooth on sunday and start morrison. Mike and Ben said they wanted to join in with my group, great. No problem. I tell them what the itinerary is and what I think the best plan is for meeting up on Sunday since I'll already be out on Saturday and not within cell range. They say that's not going to work for them. They want to drive the same roads (on Sunday) that I was planning on doing on Saturday before hitting Morrison on Sunday. I explain that trying to cram all of that into one day is not realistic and that having two days would be better. So they want to join my group but they want to do their own thing at the same time. If the point of all of this is to travel as a group then its not going to work. I can't figure out how to get everyone on the same page and neither of them have bothered to respond to my PM that i sent 2 WEEKS ago to try to sort things out which is basically the same thing as telling me to fuck off. so maybe i'll do just that. They're not going to work with me to figure out a schedule that works for everyone then I'm not going to worry about it and I'm just going to walk away from it all and do my own thing.

    I have 5 days off. I intend to be gone somewhere for all 5 days. I do not want to be sitting around my apartment for a day or day and a half waiting for Mike and Ben to show up.
    If I start out on Saturday and go with my original plan then I either end up waiting until sometime Sunday afternoon for them to show up and start on morrison or I end up retracing all of the roads that I've already covered on both Saturday and Sunday or i drive morrison without them and hope that we all end up at the same spot.

    I figured you would be the first to Morrison no matter what..which you will as your already in the area.

    Far as that's goes you should go down Morrison and you get to pick the spot to camp. Mike a Ben then will just have to find you on the trail. Should be easy once you pick a spot with 2 other rigs and room for them as well.

    Problem solved.

    Doesn't seem to be an issue..


    I can promise mike won't drive for 12 hours. They aren't going to be able to drive all of the same stuff you did Saturday. They need to get over that and just plan on going to Morrison to meet you. Mike doesn't like wheeling at night and the only way that'll happen is if they skip most of the side roads you already hit.

    You also can't blame them. Mike is come from Seattle for gods sake.

    Mike that is fuckig crazy and impressive. That tote is the one that weights like 75. Pounds right? At least I know if anything happens I will have people to bum shit off of.
    Ok you are sounding like my ex. Omg they changed plans! Everything went to shit because we might have to play it by ear! Abort abort!

    Have fun camping alone I guess. I come to these meets to MEET people. So it sucks when people start dropping out because that's less new people I get to hang out with.

    I guess I'm still confused where the issue is. Where did they stray from the origional idea? Aren't they stil meeting is at the top of Morrison after our group does the switch backs if death?
