How did the new truck perform overall? Any issues?

Hi Scott,

The 110 was flawless. Not a single mechanical problem the entire trip. I am in love. The fiberglass top won me over, too.

Here's a few of my shots from the trip.

Heading out after breakfast.

A ramshackle pile of firewood on my rack is becoming a yearly photo tradition.

The ExPo CRX. Quite Possibly the highlight of my entire trip.

Damn, these look good.

Story time.

Getting ready to ford the San Rafael River.

We spent Sunday night up in the Manti La Sal National Forest. Elevation at camp was around 8800'. It snowed a bit that night and on Monday morning. We attempted to shortcut over the mountain to I-15, it was below freezing and snowing lightly.

The snow was soft and getting through it would have been a total winch-fest. We freed Dan's truck and decided to tuck tail and backtrack out to Price.

Great adventure. Great photos by all. Really nice Rovers. I'm trying to lose weight and seeing all your fantastic pictured food is devastating me.

That could have been a great campsite - maybe some other time:

- Can you still hear them? Where did they go?

Hi Scott,

It will be interesting to see if you still feel that way about the hard top when it's 95 degrees out-- but I suspect you'll pull it off by then.

Nice pics btw, looks like fun!

Wow, beautiful photographs. I'm living vicariously through these as I study for finals.

 

[soonenough]

Wonderful photos and trip report!

The fiberglass top won me over, too.

I am feeling it.

We are really becoming a fan of sleeping inside the vehicles- so simple.

Last year it was not in vogue...
