The 2021 Rimrocker Round Trip Overland Trek

Very cool. We just need to find out if yours, Byron’s, Pilgrim’s and mine are programmed to communicate with each other....🤔

Good deal! I got mine from elkoholic and he did basic program for me. #1 son is a ham (in more ways than radios) so if we decide on freq he can do mine.

Question...since the radios a re very easy to remove I'm guessing no leaves them in the Pioneer when you're travelling. Once powered down is there anything that needs to be done or are the just plug and play?

Yep, we need help with the decision on frequency apparently. Looks like @Tramguage1 wants pm’s for this, I’ll shoot him one, y’all can too if you want help/guidance....👍

Mines not easily removed at all, I’ll not be removing it....

You programmed mine when we rode Silverton last year, but I don’t know if it has to be done again for every ride???

Nope should be stored in memory

Great. Is there a recommended channel we all should use????

Are you planning on hauling that much water, or hoping for water at camp.....🤔

Hoping for water at camp. But I will be carrying 5 gallons. Will be enough to keep the better half happy.

Ok, hopefully there is, but it will almost certainly be ground water if we have any...👍

 

[WhiteLightning]

Hopefully a lake or river will be close.

Yep, that’s the kind of ground water I meant, most likely pond or river.... no lakes I know of.

I know you've heard the saying, Happy wife happy life. Lol

I watched the vid of the jeep group doing the trail and it looked pretty dry to me. There certainly could be some small streams or other water enroute that could be filtered. Depending upon whether or which trailer I bring I may bring two 7 gal cans and the 15 gal spray rig OR just one 7 gal can to refill as needed along the way. There is possibly ice chest water but I may use dry ice instead.

For us this trip has turned into 3 or maybe 4 "tours" including the Black Hills/badlands, the Rimrock trail, the Moab area and the Saw Tooth Mtn area on the return via the Southern route. We scrubbed the Northern NM area and other parts of CO mtns. but as always things are subject to change.

Any further thoughts of starting and returning to Moab as a central location?

Don’t think that will be necessary thankfully...
We’re getting our Idaho plates/registrations.

That’s really cool...😎

There’s a campground on the San Miguel river, and our water 5’s can also be filled in Nucla....

I would suggest you pick a GRMS channel and try it out. If theres other traffic on it then move up or down a channel. Just change channels as needed to keep a clear channel for you to use. I would also move to a different channel each day to keep that one person that may me monitoring your movements.
Everyone should have 20 or channels that are common to all the radios.
