Nice pics. Am I not reading something correct here? Please don't take this wrong, but you live in SE Utah and SE Utah is a little over an hour NORTHWEST? of Moab. I know you just got your fingers mixed up. :) No disrespect intended at all. Gary

Re: the 45 mile drive. We completed the western leg of the Arizona Strip, i.e. from Twin Points to the Kanab Creek Canyon and found no 45 mile drive along the rim. Maybe its to the east of Kanab Creek Canyon. Now, I'd like to travel that road also. Gary

Absolutely. There is a lot of slow going due to unmaintained roads but nothing technical. There's an area on the Kanab Plateau, and it seemed like it went on forever, but of course it was probably only a few miles, where the road weaves through a dense section of pines. We were literally going...

For all those that are interested in gpx files and more details, if all goes well this will eventually be posted in the "Routes" area of the ExPo.com site. Right now I do believe the ExPo people are a little bit busy with the EXPO coming up. Gary

Thank you for the props. At 411 miles I added fuel. My fuel light was on, but what I know today, I had at least another 20-30 miles of fuel left. I averaged 11mpg, all off pavement, lots of 4W and quite a few miles of LowRange. I was quite happy with what I got. I feel I can go just about...

Tera, not sure about the smog legal aspect. The tank is mounted just aft of the rear axle. There is a fuel pump that transfers fuel to the main tank, so I would say it is smog legal. Man-a-fre is SoCal installed it. The Waeco fridge and the aux tank are tied for first place for our best mod...

We had one more Point to make (again hopefully) to be totally successful of our intentions for this expedition. The road in and out to SB Point is not the best road, again very slow going, but the country is so beautiful that it really doesn't matter. Wildflowers of all kinds were in bloom and...

Day 7: Friday, May 15th, 80 miles to pavement. We woke at 5am for the morning light and hiked to the point again. We really didn't want to leave. We've got to become better photographers to capture what we see. Just a couple of the am pics: Our last day

Holy cow, this Point puts all of the other views on the back burner. Incredible, very special, etc. etc. At your feet is the Colorado, with Tuckup, Willow, Fern Glen, Beaver, National and other Canyons laid out before you. There's The Dome and The Cork right there. There's the Yumtheska...

Once out of the rock, we entered a high desert pine forest with nice soft dirt roads. The elevation was 7000 + feet, and we took a short detour to check out the view above Potato Valley. Next stop was Toroweep Campgrounds. Toroweep is THE tourist stop on the north rim (excepting Kaibab)...

At Whitmore overlook we found above 90° temperatures. We set up our shade/wind structure for the one and only time on the trip. It was well worth bringing for just one use. The views are, again spectacular, as we are about 700 feet directly above the river. And one of the few places that there...

On our way to the overlook, we detoured into Paw's (or Pa's) Pocket. Found a really nice cabin, built in 1945 by the Bundy clan. Heading into Paw's Pocket: Looking down from a ledge, one can see the road leading to the overlook: The Bundy cabin. The 3rd picture shows most of the back...

Day 3 Monday, May 11, 62 miles for the day: We slept really well and Monday dawned to a beautiful cloudless day, as they all would be. Many early morning pictures were taken. Did I mention that the moon was full during our trip? We broke camp, always with the thought that we had...

Now Bruce had already warned us about this portion of the trip. He, along with others, tried to make Kelly Point in the past, but turned around due to the lateness of the day. He really did not want to do the road again, but we were not going to be deterred. His warnings were spot on. 20 miles...

Stopped at the Point for lunch: An old cabin off the road: No one seems to have any history about who homesteaded this place. After lunch at Twin Points, we are off to Kelly Point. Much of this trip is doubling back on the roads already traveled. In this case at least 30 miles. Along the...

Day 2: Sunday, May 10th: 59 miles for the day: The next morning we were off to Twin Points. What a beautiful view from there. I will be saying this often as the North Rim, no, all of the Grand Canyon, north or south is spectacular. Twin Points overlooks the Sunup Plateau. The plateau is riven...

There have been many trip articles written on the Arizona Strip, but invariably they describe trips into one area and for maybe one or two nights of camping. We wanted to do something more. We wanted to go from the Oak Grove area on the west end to the Kanab Creek Canyon on the east end. Our...

Just found this: 1995 LC Diesel http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/1603301043.html not mine but wish I was in a position to buy it

The next step forward for those that hit the backcountry. Soon we'll be able to send custom messages when in need of help, either life threatening or just broke down. Looks like a nice tool. We were at CES but didn't see their booth. Wish we did though. http://www.equipped.org/blog/?p=190
