Anybody Else Into Jeeping?
We are kinda "Old Wild Wild West" history buffs, and enjoy exploring the desert southwest in search of old ghost towns and mining ruins. It's fun to hear the old stories and then explore the area and imagine what life was really like back then. The Jeep is a means to make that happen. It's also fun to get over obstacles then they're in the way...

I don't have a jeep but love off roading when I get the opportunity. We did a motorcycle trip to Ouray, Colorado a few years ago and in Ouray all of the hotels have jeeps for rent right at the hotel.....so we did the Alpine Loop https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attracti...-Colorado.html
and got this plate....
And being from Henderson, Nv. I'm sure you've been up to the ghost town of Gold Point, Nv. (not to be confused with Gold Field, Nev. which is just up the highway). We've been there several times, stayed in the old miners cabins.....

John - You ought to consider coming to the Quartzsite rally in January. There are several owners there with off-road vehicles and hundreds of miles of trails to travel.

Sherriff Stone aka Herb....yes, an interesting guy. His wife, Sandy, is also an interesting person full of stories.
Here is a link to a number of photos of one of our trips out to Gold Point...... https://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=72870.15SOLD my 2017 Momentum 376TH being pulled by a 2014 Ford F-350 Lariat, FX-4, Crew Cab, Longbed, Dually.

I love off-roading, but I'm more of a Toyota guy. But hey, as long as it's 4 wheel drive, who cares?
Our tow vehicle is a 4x4 but it's so long and the turning radius sucks, I'd never take it off-roading.
I love riding ATV's and dirt bikes. But I'm guessing most people like that stuff.Resistance is Not Futile, It's Voltage Divided by Current.

One of our early debates when first considering a RV was to go with a Class A and Jeep Wrangler toad or a pickup and fifth wheel. I really like our current combo, but sometimes I wish I had the much more nimble Jeep for not just trails, but daily driving duties at our destinations. Parking the dually is tough.
The issue with the Class A was I just couldn't convince myself that strapping the kids onto a couch with a lap belt was anywhere near as safe as their riding in a big pickup with airbags all around. Plus the Class A doesn't have airbags for the airbag or front passenger either.2017 Ford F450 - our kids call her "Big Red"

Our first off-road vehicle was a '89 Toyota pick up, long bed deluxe cab 4X4 with the 22RE engine and a 5 speed. That thing had incredible ground clearance for an IFS and would go anywhere. The Rubicon just suits us better now and is a blast on the trails. Our ATV's are a lot of fun to go up in the mountains and have a picnic lunch or just explore the trails. There are some awesome trails in Utah and Arizona (Sedona, Prescott, etc). Our tow vehicle is also 4X4, but that's more to get us out of trouble when boondocking if the need arises.
