      I just noticed after watching Sean for the last couple of years that he actually talks a lot like Elon Musk.. I'm the one that referred him to sumit 4 x 4. I got the Sequoia I told you about a while back. My friend and I are going to do this trail that you guys are doing. We were planning this summer early summer but I decided we would cut our teeth in on the Grand canyon first, Doing a trip all the way around it..

    Funny when you compare temperatures 😄An easy way to convert from F to Cel. is to subtract 30 and then divide by 2. Ex. 70 F. minus 30 is 40, divided by 2 is 20 degrees cel. 😊 And the other way around: 23 cel., as Shawn said, x2 is 46 plus 30 is 76 F. Not totally exact, but then you have an idea of what the other guy is talking about.

    Better to stay dry in the trees on top of the Rim than right next to a GIANT cold source with wind chill to help blow it into you, if ya ask me.
    One of the coldest nights of my life was camping on the Colorado on White Rim Trail for Thanksgiving. The mild breeze took that water and just nuked the shoreline with cold. Meanwhile, camping up on top of the mesas the night before and up in the mountains afterwards was lovely. Even -10F elk hunting in CO feels better 'cause we avoid the humidity and blown cold of water sources.
    Food for thought if you don't take well to cold.

      They are leaving massive parallel adventures to the East and the West for future excursions - so much more.

There is also the Tour Divide MTB trail which is 90% two track in NM, there is the Enchanted Rockies Trail and finally the Great Plains Trail. You could combine them into a very challenging tour.
      Also contact Turner Preserves, they have numerous huge eco-tourism ranches which I’m sure would make for a great challenging backdrop for trails adventure.

    Lived in Phoenix and would go to the Cinders for many summers with the toy hauler and quads & rzr. As wife and I became better riders and got more powerful quads, we shot all the hills and cinder cones. Some amazing rides & some very dangerous areas. I would not do much hill shooting there in a jeep...way too dangerous. We saw accidents in jeeps where people were killed. Very dusty, much more than the dunes. Also, the volcanic cinder is very abrasive. We went thru a lot of paddle tires. Best riding was after summer monsoon storms....no dust and nice and cool. Great memories there.
