    I put up a poll. Vote or die!
    Quick details would be:
    Camp about an hour east of Fallon Wednesday night. Get into Eureka, NV Saturday am for fuel. Then head toward Tonopah Saturday, back home Sunday mid day.
    Fuel could be a challenge, I may be able to have my wife meet us Friday am on highway 50 east of Austin with as much fuel as we need.

    In for the later two figuring it might be a bit warmer but I'm open to the earlier date if that wins. Coming down firmly on all sides of the fence...

    She's extremely proficient with a handgun, and pretty good with a long gun as long as it's got irons. I'd put my money on her lol.

    I'll try to calculate the distance we'll be traveling to figure fuel better. It's not real far each day, mostly slow going mountain roads. 10g extra should probably be enough.

    I figured a way! Gaia GPS ftw.

    Fallon to camp 1 is 82 miles
    C1 to C2 is 58 miles
    C2 to C3 is 61 miles
    C3 to Eureka fuel is 42 miles
    So, 243 from fuel to fuel, if we get last fuel in Fallon. Middle gate has fuel, if we think we should top off. 243 is doable even for my big fat turd.
    Eureka fuel to C4 is 89 miles.
    C4 to Austin fuel is 79 or 83 depending on route.
    172 from Eureka to Austin total for that leg.
    Austin to Fallon is 110.
    If my math is correct, 525 round trip Fallon to Fallon.

    I can share my Gaia files with anyone interested, just let me know.

    Just fake a break down and let the other guys tow you around. It's REALLY fuel efficient. lol

    PM the Gaia files when you have a chance, I'd love to see the route, might help us decide if we can join in or not.

    Trying to convince the missus that we need a road trip.

    You got it, I'll get that over to you tonight.
    Also as a side note, and I may have mentioned this already, everyday we'll either be crossing or getting near a highway, so joining mid trip or leaving mid trip will be pretty easy to do if someone can't do the entire thing.

    This was early May 2020. This is day 2. The lower place has tree scribes from sheep herders dating back to the late 1800s.

    I'll let voting go through the weekend then we'll set a date so folks can plan for time off and such. I'm going to try to pre run some of the closer stuff in my sxs toward the end of the month if anyone wants to tag along.
