Hi, I am hoping that some of you have done this trip. I have watch a bunch of videos and done some reading that I could find, but I could of missed a little or a lot. Looked at Benchmarks maps and found the route, mapped the trip on Gaia. I have seen videos of the “Silt parts” but they really don’t show much else or talked about much else. I understand most of this is gravel road and it easy, but can be a mess in the rain. How are the mountain areas? What other stuff can I expect?

I am lucky to be going with good friends and some great guys at fixing stuff and who enjoying a camping and off road trip. Our time of year to do this will be early/mid September. So what can anyone tell me that I might not of been able to watch on YouTube or read about?

Thanks
