I'm not looking for a huge group here - but with such a big trip it would be nice to have a buddy system going on. I have no idea what to expect on these forest service roads, so it will be a bit of an adventure once we get up there seeing how rough or easy they are. I have nights in campgrounds for planning purposes but if we get out there exploring and find good spots in the National Forest that would be great. As for rig requirements... Since I haven't seen the roads I can't be sure, I have a 2.5" lift and 31" tires with a winch but if things are getting too dicey there are lots of other roads to choose from.
I've tried to keep the driving times down so if plans need to change there is buffer to do that, if things go smoothly then this leaves the schedule open to drive some more trails or just explore the areas by foot, I've done my best to select areas that have interesting things around them.
