Yep, it's true. I just don't care that much.
Every time we begin to think that maybe we'll let the Cruiser Trek slip away, something prompts us to reconsider and the next thing you know we are back on the trails, crossing bogs fording rivers and climbing glaciers in the company of another great group of visiting Cruiser Guys (and girls).
Not that that's a bad thing...
Last year we had no real plans to organize a Trek. And to be honest, we didn't. Roger and his crew contacted me and said thst they were coming up to hit the trails in Alaska for a bit no matter what, and asked if we could provide a bit of guidance and support. Of course we said yes.
At the last minute, several of us wound up committed to providing logistical support and technical advice for a television production which us from joining in. Alaska Cruiser Trek 2014 was basically Darrell Wayman leading the Tennessee Nation into the Wild a bit.
After a few contacts from folks from the outside, we were prompted to sit down and consider 2015. We decided that we would take another stab at it and once again the Alaska Cruiser Trek is going to happen.
This is a very advanced notice to those who may be interested in joining us next year. We're still working out details, we just have an overall concept. We're going to try a slightly different approach this year. Instead of a single trip, we are going to attempt to host two or possibly even three trips into the field. This will allow us to offer it over a wider time frame so it hopefully will be easier for visitors to fit it into their schedule for the year. It also allows more of the locals to be involved on the trails without overwhelming the flavor of the event. Additionally it allows us to visit different trails different parts of Alaska which are very different in character and have different appeals.
As I said, this is very advanced notice, and we're still working on all the details. We expect that the overall time frame will be from late June through mid July. Each run into the bush will be about a week with about a week off in between them. This allows for refuel, and refitting and repair in preparation for the next trip. But it is short enough so that if anyone wanted to do both trips they would not have an overage of downtime between the two.
Another change that we have in the works for our next Trek that we expect to have three FZJ80s available to rent to people who are not able to bring their own vehicle up, but still want participate in the Cruiser Trek.
So, there you go... This is official early advance notice for those who might be interested in joining us for the Alaska cruiser Trek 2015. Keep watching here and feel free to contact us for further information.
And I am sure we will be discussing it here as things firm up and we have more info to offer you.
