Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip That's a cool trailer, but I don't understand using TSLs....

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip I really like the design of that trailer. WAY too much $ tho.

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip This route (slightly modified) just turned up on expeditionportal.com. Might be a good alternative if the sense is that the other route would take too much time. Not as epic, but still some really neat, unique stuff to see.

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip That looks like a good first trip. It even has a challenging section for those who have winches.

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip We went on a trip sorta like this yrs ago with a couple of Broncos. Go up 70 to Georgetown, over Guanella Pass to 285, 285 to Webster, over Red Cone then Saints John down the middle fork of the Swan to Breckenridge, down 9 to Alma and over Mosquito pass, 24 to Buena Vista then over Cottonwood pass or down to St Elmo and Tin Cup pass. A couple more dirt treks and you'll be in Ouray. Minimal pavement and a heck of a lot of dirt traveled. Might have to prerun several routes to see how much time it might take so camp spots can be scouted as well.

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip I am really excited to see how this trip develops. I would love to go on something like this. And by that time, I should have the welder up and working. So heavy duty trail fixes will be covered!

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip I'm hoping to make it happen. We're moving in a couple of weeks and I'll have to see what it takes to get settled in.

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip Sure won't hurt. I'm hoping to have the truck back on the road in the next week and can't wait to see how the new springs drive. Those Ranchos would have been brutal on a 3-5 day wheeling trip.

The Great Divide Overlanding trip I'm still interested, getting all the bugs worked out of my bronco after a year in storage is almost done. I need to get started on the toys that would make a trip like this comfy.

Re: The Great Divide Overlanding trip I'm reviving this thread! Who is actually interested? I'm thinking 3-4 days around Labor Day, possibly a little earlier.

The Great Divide Overlanding trip I'm still in, would love a loop of some sort with 2 divide trails and as much dirt as we can plan for.
