Did Denver to Houston, 1,028 miles, two weeks ago! I do not recommend it.
Completely agree with you there! That’s 10 more than my highest, we squeezed in between tractor trailers for a few hours of sleep after all that. It left us with a short day home the next day but I wasn’t right at all.
 
Incoming rain had us leave a great spot on the North Rim yesterday, we had lunch there and fired up the Starlink to see yellow on the radar. After the long drive to that spot and seeing lots of ruts we decided to bail to an easier to leave spot. We would have probably been fine but I still have some shell shock from Wyoming mud a couple years ago.

Still had a nice spot sans the rim view.

We’ve done the flip side many, many years back in one go for vacation to the high country while kids slept in the back (but not in an LC)

But my question is the heck would anyone push so hard to come here? I hope it was worth the trip 🤣

Man I just did Richmond, VA to SLC, SLC to Denver, and in my headspace I figured it wouldn’t be that bad. Toughest drive yet! Did a lil cross country tour, and my cousin just had a new baby so I wanted to see him and I didn’t want to pay for a hotel 🤣
 
Every spring I pay $150-160 CAD for half a cord of firewood delivered to my door, and that's what we use whenever we go camping. Super convenient, economical, and saves a lot of headache having to find/cut/store/transport firewood on the way to camp.

The challenge is that we only have enough room on the travel trailer hitch basket to bring firewood for about 3 days (or 4 if we really stretch it, which cuts down on the fun). This year we'll be spending two separate week-long periods in provincial parks, and from my own experience, ~3 days of firewood at one of these parks will easily run me $100. So a few weeks ago I picked up this Temu-special roof basket for $160 CAD shipped to my door. I figure I can get 4 days of firewood in it, which means it'll pay for itself in no time at all.

Years ago I built a hoist in my garage to get the RTT off the LX, and it has proven to be invaluable countless times since. Today I hung the basket on the hoist and loaded it up at waist height, then raised it to the ceiling, drove under it, and lowered it on the LX for a clearance test coming out of the garage. Easy peasy, and I've got plenty more room for plenty more firewood. Excellent.

Long live garage hoists!

Nice. In my area, a 1/2 cord of kiln dried oak is about $400 delivered. The local grocery stores sell small bundles of birch for $9. It's crazy. I usually bring 2-3 large bundles of oak w Solo Ranger firepit which normally last 3-4 nights.
