Thanks for those links, sounds awesome. I still can’t tell if SXS’s are allowed though??

Monte may be a liberal d-bag.. but in the world of liberal d-bags, he’s one of the coolest and would give you the Bernie sticker right off his Prius!

Yes very much so.

That’s really cool. Presumably when you get moved out there you’ll run it in your SXS, if not before.

Looks awesome Monte. I have always wanted to do a trip like this!

Thanks T! I hope you get to do one too. And if I recall you’re not far from the Sierra range. I’ve been up the Truckie, Donners Pass, Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe, you’ve certainly got the alpine terrain to do so in.

I've tried to drive it twice in the past in my truck/w camper and expedition trailer but each time it was closed due to blowdowns/snow/etc. I plan on riding it in my SXS. I'd just like to find some folks interested in riding it together.

That looks like one of the best camping trips of all time. Are you the first person to pull a camper to a site with a Pioneer or any SxS?

Just know that when traveling CA, one cannot exceed 55 mph ANYWHERE in the whole damn state! Freaking frustrating being stuck in the right lane with all the big rigs all day. For that and other draconian rules, laws and regs, I refuse to give CA a single cent.

Too awesome. Are you planning on doing it after you move there, or before. Suggest a date, because I’d most certainly be interested in doing that road with company. Surely ones allowed to carry a chainsaw for blow downs along the way. A few years ago I went off the road onto a forest road somewhere between Kalispell and Libby Montana and there was signs periodically requiring chainsaws for forest road traveling. Also, your “expedition trailer” has got my attention, do you have a picture of that??

What????? Are you talking SXS’s or vehicle traffic??

Haha, I’m not sure, I think the first one that has posted pics that I know of, at least on this board. I’d like to see more people doing it. I’m new to this area and still exploring this region of the national forest and it’s real discouraging to see so many old roads leading to beautiful places no longer used, because blow downs and young trees growing up and clogging the path. People aren’t using our National Forests as they once did, which puts them in jeopardy. But I am noticing fresh 4 wheeler tracks on roads that I’ve opened up to travel again, so maybe I’ll see more people out.

I used to live in Libby back in 1995 when I was doing archaeological digs for Montana St. Univ at Bozeman's Museum of the Rockies
My trailer was a modified 1967 Johnson Furnace M416 military 1/4 ton Jeep trailer. it went through many modifications before I finally sold it.

Vehicle traffic. I even had a sheriff scream at me to to slow down and get into the far right lane in Sacramento.

Are you freakin kidding me. What do you need a tear drop for. Good lord, that’s better than anything I think I’ve seen. You’ve really got it going on there with that. Libby, what a truly beautiful place with that gorgeous Kootenai River!!

When ever, before or after although looking for land is a priority at this point. I was thinking about starting a thread at some point too

Going to text my brother in San Diego and see if that’s the case down there.

I used to live in a Quonset hut building up off Lake Koocanoosa just north of Libby
