Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Epic road trip in my Jeep (dedicated to Flave) because he hates Jeeps, :)

Since turning 60 yrs old I have been feeling a little nostalgic, for places in my past that held great memories with family and friends.

So I dreamed up a road trip down memory lane.

This trip would encompass 2500 miles with as much as possible on dirt roads (a thing they call overlanding today) It would be me, the dog and my Jeep.

For the grand finale at the end I would meet an old high school buddy and do an epic Jeep trail.

The wife wanted no part of it as it meant sleeping on the ground for a couple weeks.

So I departed my cabin in NW Montana and headed south to Darby, Mt. from there I hit the dirt. I would travel south to the River of no return (Salmon river)

Years ago I did a float trip with friends down the middle fork of the Salmon and our takeout was close to Shoup, Idaho. The float trip was an epic adventure in my life and a very special memory.

This is also Bob Hagel & Elmer Keith country, for years Keith had a place on the Salmon and Hagel was just up the road in Gibbonsville. Special country in my book.
