The elevation map near the end(1:13:50) was an eye opener.

That steepest section is about an 8.5% grade for average. 4500 feet in 10 miles.

Did some Jeep trips in my International Scout in the Absarokas and Beartooths between Montana and Wyoming in the 70’s. Unforgettable.

Money.  Money can buy you a vehicle, and money can BUILD you a vehicle (usually NOT BUILT by those WITH the money - they hire someone to build it for them).

Money can't buy you experience. 

Seen it in the Dunes since 2004.  Seen it 4-wheelin' in the PNW for over a decade before that.

Usually it buys them a 'check' their ass can't cash.

These folks keep the search and rescue groups busy.

I kept thinking that and “this is why I don’t fly” on my last trip

100% right, I’ve seen it from motorcycle to cars 

 

honestly that’s alittle extreme for me and I don’t think I would do anything like that alone!
