Tundras to Sedona - 2025

Oh I see it now in the left corner

 

I'm a beer first guy too. You can drink it all day and still be present. After a few "strong" drinks, not so much. I modified my raft frame to be able to carry 10 case of beer outside of my cooler so I wouldn't run out of beer on Grand Canyon trips. Once you enter, there is no place to resupply for 282 miles.

also a hugger.

 

Yep. Barely in the pic.

 

I could feel her eyes rolling to the back of her head behind me.

 

See, that's what I try and tell these kids I work with. I can't sit and play video games all day/night drinking hard shit.

 

And the location will be.... drumroll please....

 

Back to its roots! Stay tuned for exact camping location and other details

 

I'll have some vacation time by then. Assuming nothing major comes up, I'll be there.

 

I would say probably 7 or 8 days max, depending on the commute. Two little ones at home, there will be some grandparent sharing for sure. I am hopeful to make it work, TBD, we haven't taken a true vacation in about 3 years.

 

Going that far in that amount of time - I’d suggest foregoing the camper unless you can’t go without it. You’ll spend half your days on the interstate and I like driving way faster than I’d pull a trailer. Maybe hotels and a tent for camping? Or even pick up a rented RV when you get to AZ?

 

I second the AZ rental if a trailer is a must. I didn’t like pulling the one I borrowed for 2023 the 170 miles I had to travel.

That said, I still haven’t decided if I’m tent camping or seeing if my buddy Dennis wants to pull his trailer and hang with us degens again next year.

 

4-6 days of that will be driving to and from. So there's that.

 

He just needs to hit that first day hard to get to Amarillo then he can caravan in with @bmf4069

 

Yeah probably something close to AZ on the way so we we aren’t trailering to/from Ohio. Good idea.

God I hope not.

I’ll have a passenger princess to switch with and a couch in the backseat

 

Yeah, it can be done. Rough though. Something like 2k miles each way

 

We did a similar trip in March - 4,900 miles in 7.5 days. If you don’t put some long days in you’ll be in the truck the whole trip. We went Tucson to Houston Day 1 - Houston to Clearwater Day 2.

Bucee’s Brisket sandwiches made it easier.

 

That's some mileage right there, haha!

I get pretty burned out after 12-14 hours driving. But I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

Too bad he's short on time, because making two weeks out of the trip would be cool.

 

Brutal. I took two days from Houston to Daytona and two days from Houston to Flagstaff.

 

Yeah, I was gonna say you're more than welcome to caravan with me and whatever TX boys show up to my house. Sedona is roughly 9 hours from here @80mph. If you have a camper or whatever I can rig up whatever rv hookup you need. Just be prepared to hang out with some rowdy 1st gen boys.

Also, we have a bucees being built right now. It's a tad out of the way, but we can hit it up on the way out. By tad I mean maybe a 10 minute detour.

 

@Azblue is going to make you bring him jerky and nuggets.

 

Can do. I'm more than happy to take requests. I'll bring the yangyangs for @TRDFerguson and beaver nugs for @AZBoatHauler. Blueberry vodka for all.

 

I’d take a Yang or two, and definitely a blueberryteazle drank

 

Get to prepping, you lazy sods!

no excuses!

 

Bout time.
It better be a real Buccee's. The one in Alvin is BS. Just a tiny gas station.

 

I'll bring more Texas beers.
Shiner, Lone Star, St. Arnold's, and Karbach.

So y'all better come prepared to swap beers!
In 2023 I brought a bunch and ended up bringing too many back home.
