Nevada Trophy 2012 coming up soon
- Thread starter Monterorider
- Start date
NVTR is entertainment, and most any form of entertainment will cost you. As stated above, it's still cheaper than a weekend in Disneyland. I suppose it comes down to ones priorities.
It is highly unlikely that gas will be less expensive next year or the year after that. When the time comes that I can no longer afford to fuel my 4x4, it will be time to take up another hobby ...bird watching looks interesting.
Here is to hoping it's not cancelled.

Fuel always going to be an issue. It only matters how much you want to attend such event and we are not talking about trip into space or crossing Sahara desert. If you think of it owning expensive gas guzzling 4x4 to just pound pavement commuting to work makes even less scene.

Mee? I do yes. I was really looking forward for that 1300 mile round trip. Haven't done anything interesting lately. Although I usually drive my 2wd to mall, work or whatever. Last time I filled up my Power Wagon was in April.
We're gting off topic here just a little. Remember the point is the challenge of the event. There is none like it where an average Joe, in a otherwise basically stock 4X4, with minimal expenses can go out and have the fun NVTR gives in return.
Here in America wer'e very fortunate, just about any one can buy a 4X4, and most can follow behind 20 other vehicles along an established trail , it's quite another story to navigate over thousand square miles, finding hidden waypoints, essentially relaying on ones own abilites as well as your team mates to go out and get back. There in lies the challenge.
And yeah, Sorry if I don't subscribe to the "cost of gas" issue, Heck, I remember it was an issue when it was $1.80/gal, $1.50, or even $1.00 for that matter. After all, this is a 4X4 forum, and the basis of our mutual hobby is burning fuel in our 4X4's to go out into the wild. Or do I have it wrong?
Cheers,

All I can say is that if anybody is on the fence about attending or not, do it. You will have great memories for years to come.

Well, It's official. Cancelled. Bummer.
24HOURS you by some odd chance don't have the waypoints from 09. Do you. I didn't get to pick too many on that second day back then
. May do my own personal Nevada Trophy. I've been itching to visit Jobs Peak. May not be as entertaining as you had it with snow. Still
