This whole trip is a trail run. The places listed are where there is potential to meet up with others from around the country and get a beer.

Man, what a sweet ride indeed. I would love to do that. We lived in Nebraska most our lives. We did go to Chimney rock. FYI, due to some bad apples vandalizing you cannot go up to it at the time we went anyway. Could only view from the visitors center. Too bad you can't hit Toadstool National Park more north. I believe that's where the Badlands start. Stayed at a nice place near there called High Plains Homestead. Oh and lets not forget the famous Carhenge.:cheesy:
This place has bunkhouses. They have several old buildings you can go into....school, store, stables. Very cool. They have a cook shack they serve breakfast lunch and dinner. Very inexpensive. No computers, or cell service....perfect!

I have to agree with Chief. Live is short. Moved from Nebraska to South Carolina...now going to change it up and move to North Carolina.

We drove for frickin hours...because of the wife wanting see roadside America. I felt better when there were some other people there.
:cheesy: You make "overlanding" sound so terrible. Even though most of this trip will be on dirt, I tend to call this a "road trip"
And, I won't lie, as much as I love to play hard on the rocks, trips like this are my true passion. :yup:You know I will
LOL!! Indeed. It'll take 2 days to get there and you know we'll be making the most of it :yup:
Sorry, I edited the post so that you can now see that we will be in Casper for only 1 day. As it is, this will be a long and expensive trip and so our focus will be on sticking to the California Trail only. Of course, this not to say that we won't be back someday
Yup, what he said. If anything, more of just a meet-n-greet at each location and, for those who might be interested, maybe even follow us for portions of the trip. :yup:
So is the only requirement a soft top, to mimic the Wagons that were used.
Well that for sure but maybe even a cowboy hat
