Group Overland Trip

[kryptonitecb]

when you say the week of the 18th what dates are you referring to? I am trying to find official dates for my spring break so that I can say for sure if I can go.

Also meeting up around noonish on a friday seems like the best time to meet up. The guys that work only have to take one day off, or a monday off to make it a 4 day trip. And gives some of us that have college schedules a chance to wakeup and show up on time.

The 18th is a Sunday so I was just thinking anytime that week. I like the idea about meeting up the Friday prior to that though and starting it then.

How 'bout meeting on Saturday morning for breakfast then hitting the trail? If I get to go that's what I would like to do.

Country I would like to take 2-3 days to get to Mena and then if we like it turn around and take the trip back.

God I hope I get to go!

I like that Steve. Lets meet in Clayton on Saturday mornin, March 17.

Gotta get to work on that roof rack.

 

[kryptonitecb]

Hopefully my spring break will correspond to those dates, if they do I'm on this like me on cake.

 

[daniel3507]

Does anyone know how long the trail is? Im trying to figure out how much extra fuel I will need to bring.

 

[country0001]

Surely if you fill up in Clayton, you can make it to Mena.

 

[daniel3507]

Yeah thats true. I may bring an extra 5 gallons or so just in case one of us needs it.

You ever find out when your break is kryptonitecb?

 

[kryptonitecb]

No, I looked at the schools website and the calendar isn't even up for the next year. They know by now, problem is I don't know where to find it. Luckily I work on campus and will find out after new years holiday.

Things are looking good for me to make this trip!!! There is a guy that I know with a jeep and he is wanting to go also and he is talking about buying/making a trailer and said he would pull it and could carry our extra stuff. This is going to be fun!! I'm more worried about how much beer to bring! I figure 23 gals will get me there.

I'm thinkin bout bringing my F150. I'll have plenty of room then for coolers tents and so forth.

Ok, I mapquested the Ktrail. Its approx 76 mi from nashoba to mena.Add in 10-20 miles to Clayton.

So we are talking approx 100 miles of overland fun and camping for two days.

This is what I got when I searched for a .gpx file of it. This is motorcycle but I would imagine its the same trail.
