In the lower elevations it's been in the low 90's. This trip should be interesting..... Not sure what type of clothing to bring.... One thing for sure, I'll bring a couple of body bags for the Honda drivers.

Body Bags and Dry bags

Postby MrPolaris » Thu May 06, 2004 7:42 am

I am looking forward to this trip. I am getting my dry bag tomorrow. It is a big one and should fit all my clothes, food and incidentals. I know that I need to take additional gas, but am almost afraid to strap a 5 gallon bomb to my quad and ride down the trail with it. . .

Isn't your Honda a 500lbs bomb? LOL


5 Gallons??


Just get a 1 gallon can. You won't need 5 extra...and probably won't even use the 1 extra. It's just insurance.
