Mr.BlueSky Posted May 11 Author Report Share Posted May 11 Well, I think we are 98% packed, just need to throw on some shoes in the morning, button up a few things on the homefront and then it is time for Rovers N Donuts. See everyone tomorrow! PaulD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mffoster Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Miles (and Theresa) led another great trip, assisted by Sasha at the back of the line each day. I made it back to Reno after a very early start, looking forward to seeing pictures posted up. pilotgabe, Mr.BlueSky and PaulD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Mattson Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Big thanks to the Miles, Theresa Sasha, and anyone else in the planning. It was much much more of an experience then I was expecting and completely worth it. Rupert and I made it back into reno a little after 10 but we got to run in a nice rain storm on the way home and that made the no ac pretty nice and gave a pre car wash. Note to self add a HVAC blower switch to the spares list. Thanks again to everyone on the overland committee for creating such a great event.

Although dusty fadeing white might be a better description of cornish crewm. It’s ok. Take a deep breath. Many humans are snow blind. I can confirm neither Tyler nor myself consumed Starbucks mochacinofrapalattes so indeed, we are not basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Yankton Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 great times - thanks to all! Now starts the long list of extreme stress test required repairs. It was good, thanks to Tyler and the mobile welder, that nothing proved fatal. The 38' wheels "shook out" all the weak points in the remaining stock components.

Mr.BlueSky Posted May 24 Author Report Share Posted May 24 Here is the mileage count: Day 1: 82.9 Day 2: 52.4 Day 3: 58.5 Day 4: 63.4 Day 5: 92.4 Day 6: 100.0 Day 7: 18.9 For a total trip of 468.5. For reference the entire EMHT is 770 without sidetrips, so we did pretty good. Lutz takes the award for longest route taken with the side trip to Needles and back for parts! Last call to get photos up, I hope to start the trip report this weekend and finish by late next week. woodwelsh, SDS and PaulD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
