I will be at our beach house in Rehoboth between Aug 20-28. Let me know if you'd like to come down to see Recon and I'll make sure to give you the tour!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR MOAB. This is going to be incredible man. I NEED to get out of the city for a while... Your trip is definitely going to be epic!

Awesome... Makes my 2 weeks trip I have planned look dull haha. Good for you!

I live near Chicago, would love to meet up if you are in the area, or at the dunes, etc.

Like I mentioned, I have my own trip planned from the end of July to mid August, not sure if anything we are gonna do will overlap with yours.

Check out my full itinerary and let me know!

Hit me up when your in St Louis or KC brother. I live in Columbia so I'm right in the middle of both cities. Would love to meet you and check out the runner and recon.

Updated the first post so you guys can see if I'm in your area at the right time.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I hope I can keep you guys interested enough with some decent photos. I'm also bringing a drone with me so maybe I'll get some footage together to share.

4 days and counting 'til lift off

Haha... we'll here's one from the NW Overland Rally a coupe of weeks ago. I'll definitely keep this thread updated as we roll out.... in 3 DAYS!!!

Insane trip! Safe Travels to you and your family! Looking forward to the pictures and stories of the trip!

While you are going from Huntington PA MAOF and Hershey PA, Rausch Creek Off Road Park is a little north and in between in Tremont PA. They have a primitive camp ground (flat dirt lot and ports-jons) which your teardrop would be considered luxury digs and you can do some off-roading.

Rausch Creek Off-Road Park

Doesn't compare to what you can do out West but Rausch Creek has a ton of off-road obstacles and varied terrain in a 3000 acre park.

I'm ready to see this trip start, after having a month off and being on the road reality has set in and I NEED to live vicariously through you to get through the long work days. Help a brother out... :bigok:

Awesome photo and your truck looks it's best version I have seen it in! Thanks for sharing... I hope you worked out the rear shocks issue

 

[mybabydaddy]

No TX?!

What, no scenic Texas stops on this trek?!!... OK, OK just kidding... looking forward to many pics please!

 

[Ducmonsta]

And we're off! See some of you guys soon! Look out, Boise!

 

[Titanpat57]

Safe travels buddy...see you in a few weeks!

 

[Ducmonsta]

First night in a friend's front yard in Boise.

Drove through the Targhee NF

Stopped for grub at Panda Express?! Even with a fridge full of food! But the wife said we should save it for camping, which made sense, I guess.

Got to our first major destination!

And did a quick hike before setting up camp. Artist Paint Pot

Tomorrow is another day! Cell coverage is spotty but I'll try to entertain you guys when I can.

 

[JohnTheLuck]

Great start! Keep the news coming. And stay safe.

 

[Kotrin]

Awesome trip, keep us posted. You should have come with me on my overland trip versus the overland rally, lol. Check out my build thread in my signature for our fun. I would love to see how the tear drop does on these areas. I think the massive snow would have been an extremely difficult task.

Super jealous and my little 3rd gen need to come play with the big boys

Have fun!

Looks like an adventure for sure. I just left Yellowstone Friday and i'm down in Jackson,WY until Tuesday.

FYI, check out Lamar valley. (Thats where i saw most of the wildlife.)
Mt. Washburn is a great hike.
Hayden Valley is usually good, but didn't see anything roaming around.

If you head into Teton National Park the area is a little smokey from a fire SW of Jackson. At least it was two days ago.
