Not without some nice stops on the way. As we came over the pass out of Red Lodge the view was too good to pass up and we stopped off the highway to take it in the ominous clouds covering the mountains well. DeTour-2.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr DeTour-3.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos...

But at last we got a break in the trees, not sure if due to a fire at some point or extremely hard winters and wind. Either way, it was nice to see where we were going. DeTour-45.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr DeTour-46.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr 01066 - The De-Tour - Day...

I had heard this trail was tight and narrow, but it really wasn’t. You could tell that the trees here have a hard life with wind and heavy snow. Really was nice to see it cleared and had well cared for by the local Magic City 4x4 Club. Bet some years it takes a lot of chain sawing! 01063 - The...

Off we went to the mountain, to a totally new area and trail I’d heard mixed things about. Nothing concerning though. After some driving through some lovely scenic highway we made it to the trail. DeTour-23.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr DeTour-25.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on...

While I wouldn’t call it a hike really, it is a nice short stroll that is paved trail to see the natural bridge. As it was September, the water levels are very low this time of year. So the water dives down a hole and comes out the other side. But you can see that when the spring run off is...

Chapter 1: Well...********... Welcome to The DeTour Trip report. This year for this story going to be doing something a little different. As some of you many be aware, and if you aren’t you will be now, our good friend @turbodb does very nice write ups of..well everything! And this trip, he took...

true. But I wouldn't get rid of it. I attribute that to lack of experience and familiarity of the area. I think after she gets used to it around here it won't be a problem. You've got a great system already and invested in it so why change for something like that?

I've lived my whole life in Grizzly country. You'll be fine. Plus you'll be able to go to a lot more cool places with that small light trailer anyways.

having moved from wyo to MT..i vote WY haha

Thanks! It is in great shape. Id keep it if it made sense to. But I have 3 tacomas and it doesn't quite fit in with the camping rig I've built. Its nice on my single cab though. If I don't get the money I want for it. I'll just keep it! Full size ones are tough to find. Hopefully you find one!

Hey all I have a wildernest topper forsale in southern Montana. Asking 1250. Its in great shape, probably best one I've seen which is why I bought it. Just don't need it really as we decided to stick with our RTT. Wildernest-4.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr Wildernest-2.jpg by...

Great photos Tom! Lots of good stuff. I am so ready for freaking summer already. Done with this snow.. Also, interesting choice with the swaybar. Be that won't last long though :p while yes it will be great on the road, it'll make any time you hit a bump a not fun experience. Least not compared...

LOL! :D Glad i can contribute to the procrastination :p

Glad you enjoyed it! Can always read all the other ones :) Pretty much a short novel at this point with all of them.. also..sweet screen name! HA!

Yeah the guy had a stroke and couldn't work the clutch anymore. Bought a 3rd gen and decided to sell this. He kept in in great shape, was his commuter and he is the original buyer! No major plans. I'll overhaul the suspension with full mid travel just so it rides nice. Maybe put some nice...
