It looks cramped for sleeping in a 74, even more so with a fridge. But Glenn says he's comfy....
Now an 81, even with two fridges, is super comfy
Nice trip report Glenn, I'll be raising my hand at some future club meeting for that trip I'm sure.

It'll never be as cool as a 74 though.
I'm driving Jason's 81 today as he has my 74, so I need to keep telling myself that

Sleeping in a 74 easy. -- No need for the expense, maintenance, high weight and wind drag of a RTT. Bill being a big guy - has removed his passenger seat and has at least 7 1/2' of leg room. I push and tilt my passenger seat forward and use the back of the passenger seat as a elevated headrest.
We all have ARB fridges. Mine is on a raised platform above the right rear wheel well which gives me 31" width flat and 40" width over the wheel well. Since Moab in April I have spent 50 nights in my rig. I like high mobility and simplicity for quick deployment and pack-up. But each to their own...
Gary is old school and prefers setting up his tent in total darkness and sleeping on the ground, regardless of temperature or weather. We keep it simple and put the savings into fuel for going places.
Great report, thanks for making the effort to document your adventure, very entertaining.
Nicely done guys, looks like a fun and very scenic trip. The terrain looks great, a nice mix of trails. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing Glenn! I love the climate on the east side of the Cascades every time I clean the moss and green slime out of the cracks in my truck! 
There is room to sleep for sure. I have spent many nights in my dads old 70. Most nights I slept diagonally in it camping with friends.
When he used to travel for shutdowns he had a piece of wood that he could put from his dashboard to his toolbox and would be big enough to sleep.
Were both 6'7" and fit snugly.
Great pics and write-up, Glenn. Why is Gary trying violate that log? Looks like you caught him in the act.

improvised stand-up cooking table for the spaghetti that night
Awesome pics, I'm with Jeff if you guys plan on something like that again.
Us old guys stop for Dairy Queens, garage sales, home cooking cafes, drive-in java joints, pickle waterings, photo ops, and the like. Might drive you young testosteronal Bucks crazy!

You should travel with Lance. We spent more time at the Moab hardware store than on the slick rock.

Serendipity Wheelin'
Call it serendipity wheelin' -- I have come to appreciate that the unpredictable events that can occur during a trip can often be more fun and entertaining than the destination itself.
