I by no means want to jack your thread bud. But i have a question that maybe you or someone else can answer. might help you if you haven't thought about it.
Food - Cooking specifically. whats your plan? i cant find too much information about open fires on BLM land.
Im looking at a cooks partner stove, but also like the snowpeak carry fireplace.
I like that it folds small and has several accessories. just not sure if something like this with fire wood base is ok for BLM camping.

Thanks for the write up. I'm headed out for the eclipse and will be doing parts of you route.

Thanks for posting this! I'm planning the same trip in 2019 and will be following you closely. Look forward to more.
Looks like a great adventure! I might try to catch up with you in the El Malpais area, one of my favorite stomping grounds :-)
Are you open to having someone tag along? July-Aug of 2018 might be open enough for me to accompany you on the whole trip (outside of going to yuma - I live in the ABQ NM area so I'd probably hook up with you at the campsite near Gila Cliff Dwellings for example). I can't promise at this point, but this is the kind of trip that I've been itching to do since I got my truck.

Exceptional detail in your planning. After a 7,000 mile Trans-Canada overland trip last summer, I've been looking at doing the Colorado portion of the CDT this summer. I've had the GPX files for quite a while now and have looked over them, but not as extensively yet. It seems you're putting the perfect amount of effort in from a rig/trailer standpoint and mapping.
Look forward to following along with there set of your pre-production. I might ask a few questions if we move forward with heading west, if that's OK.

Looks like this will be an amazing trip. Over on Expedition Portal they have a Retired Old Farts group that does a lot of trips together. Here lately I've been thinking there needs to be a Chase The Light photographer's group someplace. Where the trips are similar to what you are planning here, a flexible route and very flexible time line.
July is not that far off, how's the trailer coming along?
Looking forward to following your trip.
On a side note, I spent 2 years in Bagram (2003-2005) and lots of time out at various FOBs.

As soon as I saw the pic of the Taco pop up I was like, there goes the Colorado and trailer! lol
October will kill almost all of your CO route, especially the stuff in the south west (Ouray) part of the state. A lot of those trails get snowed in starting in early Sept.
That is what the first section of Cinnamon Pass looked like in mid Sept back in 2014. The trails was completely snowed in about another 100 yards up.
I've check Bagram out on Google satellite images a few times over the years and it has change dramatically. Back when I was there, the only thing on the west side of the strip was land mines and an old Soviet boneyard for planes. Hell, we were still getting hit multiple times a week at night back then.

Personally, I'd push it back. The high country in CO is to awesome to miss out on. Baja in Oct sounds night though!
