The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Bump for the cool TR. Best I've seen this season. And nobody can touch (haha) the itinerary. Amazing that you did so much car sleeping for that period of time. I'll bet the adrenaline rush of a new experiences places really helped keep the pace.



This one gets five outta five cool heads..... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8).....

The rental car had a thermometer on it.



My bag was rated for minus twenty. It was fine until close to zero. When it was below zero I had the face area pulled closed and wore a had and full underwear.



In some places it was a dry cold, but that is where it was usually the coldest. In places where it was damp it was in the twenties, usually.



When I hiked I usually hiked for two or 3 hours. And it would take about a half hour to go down. In two to three hours I could usually hike two thousand vertical feet, or so.
