I watched this last video, Im going to have to download the rest later today to watch tonight. I love the views. I heard you say that the fallowing day your group was heading to the John Day fossile beds. I am hoping you post this part of your trip as well. I went to the fossil beds as an early teen along with the lava beds, but was too young to get the full meaning of the trip. I have always planned on doing the trip again as an adult, just havent found the time to make it yet.
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed at least one of my videos.
Actually John Day Fossil Beds is two days out. Yes I was planning on including it in a video. We did not have time to drive or hike the area, but we did stop at the fossil center they had there. It is pretty cool and I got a lot of video of it. Also, the James Cant Ranch which is just down the road a bit.
Stay tuned for more videos. George.

George,
Thinking of doing another trip through the Painted Hills, through the Fossil beds, up through Spray to the Tamarack lookout site then through the Hardman Ghost town and cross country to the Columbia River Gorge somewhere around The Dalles. I'll let you know if it firms up.
Oh, and no Jeep now. Went a different direction.

Needed more room? Sounds like fun. Keep me posted. Next year is already filling up quickly. George.

Yeah,the 14 day mid-summer trip turned out to be quite cramped in a 2 door. Keep us in the loop on your schedule as well. Other than NWOR no firm commitments yet. D have a group that wants to go from NWOR to Canada up the WABCDR and to Banff/Jasper area afterwards so stay tuned.

And another one went a completely different direction...
George is already aware, but I've decided to retire my 04 colorado from expo duty. I still have it as a daily (gets better mpg than it's replacement), but expo duty, has been replaced with this....

Build starts after the new year. A friend and I will be installing a lift, building a swing out rear bumper, roof basket, and sliders.
I've already had it on some fairly technical stuff, and I was super impressed. Should give me less issues than I had with the colorado. Better aftermarket support as well.
Those trips sound like a blast. I'd love to possibly tag along if I have the pto, and you guys are willing.

Are you putting this in the Rally Point? I understand this isn’t your trip this year. How many people (rigs) are you guys including in this years trip?
No I don't put anything into the Rally Point. The gentleman that puts these on just posts on a trailer forum. I post them up here and a couple other forums. I think the most vehicles we have had show up in the years I have attended is 6 or 7. I don't think he cares how many show up though. More info here if interested Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers • View topic - Mordor v5.0 Back to Mordor. June 5-9 2020 . I do updates as we get closer to the dates.
