Have to head to the northeast. Hope you're leaving the rig with a friend and flying back.........I would NOT want to be on the roads, or in a plane for that matter, in the Northeast right now given all the snow/storm activity.......

danrider 5 Posted January 6, 2018 JAJA, Can we do it in three days. Some of the guys have to be back Sunday. I will see you Sunday to Discuss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1058 Posted January 6, 2018 So many options, so little time. I’m stuck with Fri thru Sun. I’m a big boy today hough and can find my way home if y’all want to continue on further. Many of these suggestions are new territory for me so I’m happy to go anywhere. My only prerequisite would be needing to know if there’s much sand. If so I would throw the K60’s back on. I installed the new Seat Concepts last night and am itching for high mile day for testing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alyeska 50 Posted January 6, 2018 If you go to Jerome or tortilla flats Im in for sure, need to know what tires to run since im on streets now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ramona 78- Brawley-8 Yuma-Gila Bend- Orange Pipe cactus- 1st night- Kitt Peak- Tucson- Florence 77-Globe- Roosvelt dam-Tortila flat (Beer stop)-Maricopa-Gila Bend-Home. 2nd night west of Phoenix. Pirate camping, total 1050 miles with a lot Highway. No special dirt tires needed. Open to other suggestion. but try to stay low in the desert, not into freezing my Bud off.

JaJa If we can do it I want to take everyone to Sheeps Crossing and camp on the river. The place is the bomb, I like your plan just want to adjust it by about 60 miles. Will discuss with you tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
