I'd like to go and explore there, drive by it all the time and never been there

If you let me know the time, I'll be there, could meet at NV-160 & W Cougar Ave: https://goo.gl/maps/ZVyRsZUywuB2

I could do early morning to avoid traffic getting the cause I'm by the air force base

Is there a way to send private messages on here? I was going to send you my phone number to coordinate. But if you want to just throw out a time, I'll certainly be there! Morning is ok with me.

Cool I'll be there

Would join you guys, but I don’t wake up that early for any reason what so ever:)

Have fun, be safe!

Awww man, would love to go but I got on the bike and am in Pheonix right now.

I want to do Alamo Rd sometime before the real cold sets in. Maybe the Sunday before Thanksgiving?

I tried to meet you this Am at decater/cougar area. I figured I could squeeze a run up there to the mine area, and get back in town and fulfill my prior commitment. Sorry I missed you and hope you guys had a good time. Maybe next time.

Ah dang, sorry we missed you. Next time for sure!

Here are a few pictures from the trip and a video I made for my YouTube channel of why I went from a Jeep KL to a Ram 5th Gen

When I had been up there, I never went quite as far as you guys did to your turn-around point. The point where you high sided might have not happened if you had gone about 2-3 mph faster, as it looked like it just lifted the middle of the truck right at the break-over point? Glad you had companion to give you a tug. That dirt is rock hard, and the traction aids just were not quite cutting it. I like the video, good camera work, and your narrative voice over was simple and to the point.

Thanks I appreciate that, I usually plan these out better and bring my GoPro cameras, but didn't plan to make a video so just winged it. And yes, I absolutely was going too slow to try to get over that hump, poor commitment on my part.

Nice video. What's funny is I went from a long wheel base to a short this summer. I came from Texas and work downtown. The F150 was just too much hassle to maneuver in the parking area and alleys. The FJ fits the work area much better.

I do miss that extra room but it hasn't been a problem thus far.
