Extra incentive to keep me on schedule
Just got back from fj summit.
It was Good and all but waaaaay more excited for our summit!
Can't wait to see you guys there is less than a month!

Nice man. Any more temperature issues once you git there?
Just had a coworker come back from there and he said it was awesome.
I'm assuming by the photo Black Bear is open on both sides of the pass?
No temp issues on this rig just the diesel.
Black bear is open now all the way
Heavy rains shut down Imogene for a day but they got it opened back up in no time.
Weather was perfect and after talking to the locals sounds like our directors picked a good time sounds like no one will be there and trails should be all by empty

Had to cancel the Colorado trip yesterday at the last minute - my drain petcock repair failed on me. I was able to get everything else done except for the coil/igniter. Water pump and thermostat went well though.
Of the 4 FJ40s I know of 2, mine and @POTATO LAUNCHER's. I missed my baton (briefcase) hand-off this morning due to the radiator issue so will re-schedule. Will either of the 2 other FJ40s be heading SW towards Arizona after the SAS? I still hope to meet @Reznugget later this summer, but a fall-back position for the baton would be nice.
I'll be heading back to Austin afterwards. Wish I had time to go west.
Someone clue me in on the batons? Genuinely curious even thought it's a 40' thing
Here is the short run down. 40's carrying a briefcase and two tool boxes that are loaded with items starting in the east and crisscrossing their way west. It must be driven in a 40. Each participant adds things from their region and trek. We are about mid continent with all three at this point.
This is the link and a couple of pics from my legs of the handoff.
FJ40 Cross-Country Expedition: Will YOU join us???
Last one is of @4Cruisers and myself on the Plaza in SantaFe.

This is FANTASTIC. Wish the 60' guys had something like this
Start a thread man. Thats how SAS and Criss Country began.
Yep, get one started, I know I'd participate in that one as well. I bet @POTATO LAUNCHER would also.
Absolutly! It was fun in the 40, all 1500 miles or so. I wouldn't be as picky about the weather in the 60. Anytime would be cool.
Following the summit I might have to set this up, even though the lazy northerners are leaving me to solo the journey this year.
Also, I'm trying to procure a large U.S. interstate map. I'd like to get each driver to highlight and sign their route to Colorado. It'd give a good perspective, and show the distances people come togeather to appreciate like minded folk
Great idea.
The guy that inspired the whole idea is from your area. He did a 5 week west to east trip in his 40 last year. Docomented it all, camping, backroads, national parks. Its a cool thread.

PM that thread link if you can
EasternYeti...solo journey?? Does that mean no co-driver for your trek out to Moab prior to SAS??
