Shrek's armed camping trip 2015 ;)

That comment is punishable by 12 hours of watching Barney.

Haha, does time served count

Glad to see how well I infected this thread, Shrek is probably clueless about Frozen. This should help him

Kind of a fitting song

Dotman , I might have been born at night but it wasn't last night ! No way I'm watching that !
I go to dinner with the Legendary deer slayer Robby Denning and look where this thread goes !
Itinerary is boots on the ground Friday in way north Idaho. Tomorrow I don't really have a plan for yet. I was hoping to crash Tanya's elk hunt but I'm too late for that. Want to go meet someone in central Idaho but I have to see how that will work out.

 

[dotman]

Haha

I drove up 191 out of rock springs through the high desert plains and into the Bridger Teton ranges and it was spectacular ! The mountains from Hoback to Alpine are some of the most rugged mountains I have ever seen. I was kind of rushing so I didn't get to linger and check it out more and I regret it. Everything Wyoming terrain wise I looked at today and more than ever I want to call Wyoming home. The Medicine Bow looked like a fantastic place to hunt and hike and all the high plains full of sage brush are calling me to hunt mule deer and antelope. If I want to truly test my will to hunt then the Bridgers are waiting. Drove along miles of fantastically beautiful rivers and didn't see the first fisherman.

I get on Rokslide to combat McStuffins, Sofia, and Capt Hook and the "seapups"...and up singing songs even my daughters are tired of. kids are awesome!!

That's funny. I'm envisioning Shrek trying to get his Ranger over 40 mph, with snotcicles hanging from his nose.

Wyoming is a neat place. If you didn't see a fisherman, you obviously didn't drive by the Miracle Mile. The Medicine Bow is pretty good elk hunting.

Jason , I have significantly upgraded my ride ! Ranger is now driven by an old country lady in the back woods of central Florida and I now have a giant SUV . New to me Sequoia is a sweet highway ride but I have serious doubt about it off road at all. I just hope 4wd and chains keep me going. No more 40mph trips with snotcicles hanging from my nose ! That was the ride from hell !

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

Good! Truck issues will dampen your spirits for sure. Cost me half a day starting out my trip this year.

 

[Shrek]

Jason , I'm sure there are some Wyoming rivers that get pounded hard but the ones that I ran along today were deserted. It's amazing how empty much of Wyoming is.

Haha, that made me laugh!

I bet it does ok off-road and how has your mileage been vs what your were getting at home?

 

[tri2hunt]

Well if you come thru Moscow, I will take you to lunch. If you want to fish we could hit the St. Joe for cutthroats and great scenery.
Have a great trip and good luck.

Better than I expected. I'm getting between 15.75 and 16.25 for the last five tanks. Back home I was getting 12.5 to 13.5 pretty consistent.

Thanks tri2hunt !

If you have a couple of days to kill and don't take an offer like this, Shrek, I think I'll lobby for a couple of my buddies to find your Sequoia and sabotage your heater!!

 

[bbrown]

Good luck man. Be careful with chains on the front of that - not 100% sure on the Sequoia but I know the Tundra can't run chains up front with out some new wheels that have a good amount of off set. The upper control arm sits too close to the tire - as much as I love my Toyota's' this was a stupid design.

 

[Shrek]

Thanks for the heads up bbrown. I'll have to check that out.

 

[bbrown]

Id be curious what you figure out - I assume they would be the same since they are basically the same chassis but you know what assuming does for you...

And don't jump it - you will dent up the skid plate and have to hear about every time you go in for an oil change...

 

[Shrek]

Bbrown , you're confirming what I suspected. I bought a soccer mom mobile .... But it was cheap !
