Summer 2015 Idaho exploration BS thread

Wut??? Did I just read what I just read?

 

More like monte is t coming so ne can't fix stuff

 

That would be awesome! I would be packing very light. Change of clothes, bag of food and a tent/backpack. Would be an awesome weekend!
I just need to know how many highway miles and how fast I would be expected to go. Also hope we don't pass any cops lol. Not street legal at all!

Any objections to planning the Idaho portion over a weekend

 

That's ironic huh

 

I was waiting for LT!

 

Yeah that'd be awesome, you guys know a hell of a lot more than me haha

 

I dont know shit! Im just along for the ride!

If thats the case I would plan to leave friday afternoon and meet up that evening

 

For the next few weeks im really busy with school, probably until middle of March I may have a weekend free

 

I think you might want to determine just how big of a list you are comfortable with and start locking in names.

 

No I bought an E rated Toyo A/t that les schawb had laying around for cheap. I regret it everytime I see it haha, stupid Toyo. It'll get the job done tho.

Lock me in! I am so pumped for this!

 

I'm going to need someone to watch over my keys for me while we're camping. I have a tendency to put them in my tent pocket... and then the next morning forgetting that i put them in my tent pocket... and then almost breaking my window cause i think i locked them in my truck.

 

Haha good times...

I was thinking that but it's a bit early for people to commit to it. I Decided though the first or second week of August is when we will do it. I'm thinking a limit of 10-12 trucks or so. How many went last year on the lost corner? Was that a good amount?

 

I don't have a truck count at the moment, but It seemed like an OK amount for the portion of WABDR that we did. Naches on the second day was about 6? That was good because there was some advanced trails to tackle.
Having the full crowd would have been horrific for the Manastash portion, though. Manastash we only had 4.

Since it sounds like the trails you are proposing are going to be generally moderate (no winching, spotting, etc.), then 10 - 12 is probably a fine number.

 

10-12 is way too many people. Not because you'll be spotting or getting stuck, but because camping spots are limited and small. Finding spots for 4 rigs is hard enough. There are plenty of spots for 2-3 and squeezing 4 but 10-12...no way. Not at the same spot anyways.

 

In my experience 4-5 trucks is about the right size for a multi day run. Then you can at least get to know people instead of asking "what's that dudes name again?" all weekend. It's also like herding cats when the group gets too big. You stop somewhere and wait twenty minutes for the tail gunner to show up, someone always manages to get lost, the convoy is so long the trail boss has no comms with the tail gunner, etc. I've also found about 60% of the people that say they are in actually show up at the trail head, so maybe keep the list to 8 rigs and see who actually shows.

 

Such a badass shot! /\

 

So if this is happening in August I will have my CVT, Canopy & I'll bump up to 265/75R16 tires well before then. Would love to get in on this and PTO isn't an issue for me.

 

Yes this trip is happening for sure, im just waiting to see if I can take off the first of second week of August, which will determine the dates.

Thanks Monte, Im thinking of putting a limit of 6 or 7 because in reality all 7 most likely won't show.

 

I WILL COME. Just so y'all know
