536 Miles of Dirt...

[neagtea]

Awesome,
One hell of a snake, how did it taste?

I've got .gpx tracks, three, one for each day. Will have to see if I can figure out how to post them on a Google map or something.

That'd be cool. Thanks for the photos.

We did hit pavement twice for fuel at Baker and Enterprise. 24 miles of pavement, altogether.

The possible route variations to do this trip are endless though. You could make it a lot shorter and faster (but boring), or a lot longer and avoid even most of that 24 miles of pavement, but that would take at least another whole day.

Converted Dave's file into a .kmz file attached if you want it. Have it in .gpx flavor as well if you prefer


Edit: Anyone have a line on a free Nevada topo map

Thanks for sharing.

I do intend to post a couple pics here, I just came home and got slammed at work this week
I must say though, I was in school the whole time being around Dave, be it navigating, wheeling, or camping.

Try here for Nevada (and others): http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/view/86/

And I'd like the gpx file please. I'll pm you my email.

A lot of stuff to see! Thanks for the great photos and write-up.

Hi, I signed up because of this thread!

I've got a 4x4 van that I would love to take on a trip like this (with my girl and our dogs). Would June 14-17 work for anybody? I'd like to do the more desolate trails. We will tow our trailer for spare fuel, water, and dog food for the Great Dane. (lol)

This is our set up...

Awesome trip. I'd be interested in the route information as well.

 

[skeptic]

Sounds like the makings of a group trip!

See post #25 I uploaded the file

I love that you need a trailer to bring enough dog food ha ha! That trip does sound amazing. I'm all scheduled out for a bit but I'd hit it up with you later in the year

I joined the forum just for this thread and so I could download the kmz file. Major thread resurrection I know.

Anyway, great pics! There is a very good chance I will be doing this trip this year.

I was just talking about this thread last weekend! I hope to follow tracks sometime this summer

I was thinking of doing this trip this spring/summer. I took the kmz and created a quick map using mymaps.google. I tried to identify all of the points of interest from the pictures (and added a few in there).

Thought it might be useful for anyone else who wanted to do this, although some people would probably rather just explore and find things on their own!

Kevin and I were going to do this trip last month, we elected to delay it due to the extreme soggy weather at the time. I'd still love to get it done.

Yeah, but I still want to longerize it. Go from corner to corner.

That'd be sweet to go from corner to corner. How many days do you think it'd take with the extra mileage? I can't imagine it being more than another day or so.
