    Powered off road trailer wheels

    I actually have an axle designed up and I am starting to fabricate that has steering. I do a lot of real sharp switchbacks and having steering on the trailer would make life a lot easier.

    Powered off road trailer wheels

    If you are in that tough a spot, you probably shouldn't be limiting your self with a trailer. Backing up on a tough tight trail downhill is a bitch. If 4wd, lockers, and aggressive tires don't cut it, don't try it.

    US Rocky Mountain Rocky Mountain Region July Meet-Up- Alexander Lake- High Uintah's Utah

    Personally I don't remember that much about it. I remember it had some fun rocks and ledges on the way. I am all packed and at work. Hope to head our sometime around 4pm and get there no later than 6:00. Got to stop and get some worms for fishing and maybe some firewood.

    That's one way to find your way back to the highway if you get lost.

    OB Approved Safe Encounters with Mountain Lion (Mammals in North America):

    There have been tons of mountain lions up by Masonville since the 70's. The joke around there is...what do you call a dog on a chain in your back yard... a snack.

    Does anyone have decent temperatures in their area?

    It reminds me about the joke about why the IQs are lower in the southern states ... all the Smart Ones left. From an ex southerner

    Trailer build axle issue

    the real problem is your spring mount is too far forward or your leaf is too long. You can help with a longer shackle but I would move the mount.

    Trip to Salida Colorado

    Head north and then west through Natrona and up the canyon towards St. Elmo. Tons of trails. Personally I like the area up towards Mt. Antero. Check the conditions since there was so much snow and avalanche damage, some trails may be closed or restricted.

    Dirt Bikes: Anyone else throw one on/in the back?

    Back in the day, I trailed my motocross bike behind my car. I did a hitch with a bolt vertically through it and a piece of pipe the width of the spindle welded across the top. I pulled the front wheel and put the spindle bolt through the tube and tightened it down. Add a couple of tie downs...

    Has overlanding become elitist ?

    Don't get me started with the red head stories. They are definitely exciting...in all of the good ways...and all the bad ways, many times all within milliseconds of eachother.

    Should I get a second lens and tripod?

    For wildlife you will want a longer lense. For landscapes, the 18mm is not wide quite enough for here in Colorado and Utah. A first telephoto zoom might be best to get a roughly 55-200mm plus a 2x extender to keep the price tag down. A decent tripod (heavy) will be required for the telephoto.
