Which Montana features? More and more folks are showing up to my rides with Montana units.......I'd like to become more knowledgeable about their features/use..... CID could speak more but having the advanced maps, search features, etc. helped us out a few times since we had to deviate from the plan. He could punch in a destination and it would give him options. We had a map but it wasn't detailed enough however his Montana seemed to have everything on it.

Macduncan: I run a dirtbags setup. I like the simple three bag design and they have plenty of room. Only thing I strap on the outside is my jacket. Things that work great are, Tank bag for quick access stuff Headlamp for hands free camp work at night Jet boil stove I have a two compartment backpack and make sure to leave the big compartment empty. Last stop of the day I pack it with water and the nights cocktails, any extra food etc. Tools to be able to fix anything on your bike One thing that was very handy on this trip was CIDs Montana. It's extra features were priceless on this trip. last but not least, a kugs sticker placed proudly on your ride

Didn't take many pictures and the ones I did pretty much look like the others. Thanks to the kugs, our amazing trail boss for putting this all together. The long dusty trails provided a feeling of being remote in a way I've never really experienced. It seemed like no matter where we were, we were a hundred miles from nowhere! Really bummed we lost the Bagster so early in the trip. The camaraderie, breathtaking views, star filled nights and the amazing off grid feel is what I will remember most about this trip!

I like C-daddy's idea. Make day two, day one and totally rework day two to stay in the state park. That whole run to Salton, then down pole line, down that long dusty leg to I-8 could go away and I don't think anyone would miss it. Gas and lunch are the only issues.

The restriction only applies to OW. You can still ride there, just cant get a permit for an organized event. It really only affects one leg of day ones tracks and in my opinion, no real loss to lose that part of the run.

We could turn the track south before OW down Old Borrego road and then slab to Split Mountain where we setup a lunch stop like we used to. From there run east along the mountains and catch Pole Line and head south. We would probably have to stage gas there for those that need it. I could be persuaded to drag a grill down there and am pretty confident I can deliver a better burger than we have had the last couple years.

I won a sweet wolf man dry bag in the raffle!!! Whop hooo!!

It was a pretty good time. I somehow resisted the temptation to throw down $600 plus for the safari tank that fits my husky.

Woa,,, whos this guy???

Going to have a beer or two at stone escondido tonight. Stop by if your around!

Good times! Thanks Kugs for putting this together and for the awesome corn! The fresh Salmon tacos were awesome. Tommy really hooked us up!

Missed ya Schwinny,,, we had a good time!

I'm bringing fresh corn tortillas and the killer salsa. If I'm in the mood I may crank up some poppers. I should be there noonish Im guessing.

I'm in, with the big grill so don't think anyone else needs to bring one and a big cooler full of ice. What's the story on beer? Are we okay?

I could bring my 6' er that I use at the dash and a big cooler full of ice.

Pretty sure I'm in

My account was jacked up so instead of trying to figure it out we just nuked it. tlking6 is now cosmo. Back in a time a little to hazy to remember I was given that nickname. It stuck for years so I am reviving it. I ride an old beat to crap Husky, like to drink beer and eat tacos.

In my dreams!

Freak! Yup,, usually but now always in that order!

I thought that was our little secret!
