. Another thing to consider. For all drivers and participants, we are covered under a permit and have event insurance. Anything that is not safe or legal should not occur on the trail, especially on purpose. Please refrain from anything that may risk the events good status with other groups, etc. I trust we won't have issues, just a friendly reminder since the topic came up. Thanks!

Even better news for all the taller folks, I'm 6'3" and the hoodie fits awesome. Long sleeves and torso. Pretty sure I've never had a hoodie fit this well. After a 15 hour day at the office, this was a pleasant reminder that HIH is almost here!!
Sorry to hear that. What causes it? How long does it take to cool?
I'm 6'4" and built like Sasquatch, so that's good news!
High altitude, high heat and full gas tank. I spaced out and filled up all the way then we drove about a hour up and down northern Yellowstone with the sun beating at 95 degrees and idling at pic stops. We made a potty brake stop and I turned it off then it wouldn't start anymore. You can hear the bubbling inside and the only remedy is wait. It was about 40 minutes.
I had to replace my whole system last year, so I'm hoping that keeps me from having this issue.
Best defense is to not top off the tank and keep the idling to a minimum, right?
^^ yep!
Best mileage I've seen so far while towing the pop up trailer, that was probably going downhill!
Geez, that's awesome. I couldn't get that dragging my pop-up going downhill with a 50 MPH tail wind.
2 tanks in and averaging 11.1 MPG, this Rtt is killing me! I can usually get 13ish hiway MPG. I am driving a little fast at 75-85 mph though.

Anybody still on the wait list? It hurts to type this... But my mom just "surprised" me with a visit.... Her and my family are coming out on a surprise visit.. Next weekend. I am so so pissed right now. But I can't make it. Toss my shirts and all the stuff I bought in the raffle or give em away...
BRUTAL! Sorry man.
Sorry man, that's tough. Enjoy your family.
Thanks for all of the replies regarding my question about my son being able to get out of his seat on some of the trails. I didn't realize that many of them were shelf/tight roads with drop offs. Again, I wouldn't let him out on anything I felt was unsafe. He'll just have to suck it up and stay in his seat on this trip.

Been tagging everything! Just got the Crusher driving again. Key issues sucked, but my local ace made me keys for $50/key!
Should be installing some stuff this weekend!
Hard wiring the fridge. Replaced spark plugs, lubed driveshaft. Lots of trail dust buried in here.
Also, seems like everyone who committed to going with me has bailed, so if anyone who was wait listed still hasn't gotten in, shoot me a message if you still want to go and you're more than welcome to ride with me and drive for a day. Can scoop anyone in Denver!
