Topic: The bdrunner is getting a temporary promotion

[blackdiamond]

I've been working out the details for my Moab 2011 trip for the end of March and needed to find just the right person to ride shotgun on the 1,100 mile journey.  I thought a plan had formed and then things changed, but it appears that now I have not only someone to travel with, but the plan is to put the bdrunner on a trailer behind his 3/4 ton Dodge diesel.

It's going to be a little sad going to Moab with a Trailer Queen.  Between my 85 Truck and now the 89 4Runner I've made at least 5 trips from Washington State to Moab and always drove the rig both ways.  It'll certainly be a more comfortable ride.

This will likely be the last trip for several years as the family will be growing around mid June and it's too long of a trip to take a little one.

Oh come awn, I took Rocks For Brains on his 1st offroad trip at 2 mos., he was driving at 3 years by himself on easy trails, has driven my brothers Mog since 8, he did his teething with rocks on the side of the trail... he turns 17 today. I hope the trip is a good one since it will be your last for a while.

Wow, sounds a bit like the old "Davy Crockett" song..."Kilt him a bar when he was only three".

I actually started wheeling before I was born and again hit the trails soon after I was born.  The issue with the Moab trip is that it's 1,100 miles each way on the road and it's only worth making the trip if I can get 4 or 5 full days on the trail.  I have no problem taking a little one on the trails, just not too sure about a week long trip.

My wife really wants to drive Hell's Revenge so we may look for some grandparent babysitting services for a trim in a couple of years.
