    On the Hunt for an LR3

    No affiliation, but I happened to check Phx, AZ, craigslist, and there's a black one that caught my eye due to the HD package. Mileage higher than you'd like, but price is commensurately lower. https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/2006-land-rover-lr3-hse/6330643116.html

    Good luck with the hunt. I hope you have as much fun and yours treats you as well as ours has.

    Two Week Northern Rockies Adventure: Backroads, Eclipse, Anniversary and More

    My (fanciful) hypothesis for the family we encountered is that they were "preppers" (I think that's the term for people who will be ready for the zombie apocalypse) going to check expiration dates on their food caches. They certainly behaved the same as the "Handcart Company" reenactors you...

    Hi Foy, you have provided a goldmine of advice for the area. Glad to send a few little flakes your way. For that Big Hole Pass, we took Foothills Rd trail south (just a little bit west of Nez Perce National Historic Park) to Gibbonsville Rd trail. The portion along the CDT and into...

    Darren, glad you enjoyed. Your pre-trip suggestions really helped with trip planning. It's great the way people share tips/advice on this forum. Love the sound of running water next to a campsite! You mentioned the Google Photos Album from the trip. In case somebody else wants to immerse further...

    A weekend in Piemont Italy

    Wow, beautiful scenery and trails. Do you see many other vehicles on those trails? It would have to be some hearty adventurers to go out on some of those cold, snowy days.

    Two Week Northern Rockies Adventure: Backroads, Eclipse, Anniversary and More

    Thanks MPH. I really appreciated your route suggestions. I generally publish trip reports in a blog for family and friends who aren't on this site, and it's getting a bit cumbersome to redo the content and image uploads here. If anybody comes to this thread for planning a trip to the same area...

    Two Week Northern Rockies Adventure: Backroads, Eclipse, Anniversary and More

    Wow, this is the longest trip we've taken. I'm finding it's a lot more time to get the daily narratives. I got a lot of help from this great community when planning, and I hope that I can repay that with trail reports that might help future travelers - as well as scratch some itch for people...

    Two Week Northern Rockies Adventure: Backroads, Eclipse, Anniversary and More

    Glad you enjoyed. I hope to finish the trail notes (and picking out a few representative pics out of the 600+ we initially had combined) this weekend. Re the fridge, I did give this some thought. It's wired to the 2nd battery, and I have the always-on outlets in the back. I do have a cord...

    Two Week Northern Rockies Adventure: Backroads, Eclipse, Anniversary and More

    The idea started percolating last winter when a friend mentioned to my wife and I that 2017 would be a special year for all 3 of us. His birthday and our anniversary are on the same day, and he informed that this year we’d have a total eclipse to help celebrate. Hmmm our closest viewing would be...
