Nice video! Looks like you had no issues with "social distancing". Looks very peaceful, Thanks for sharing.

JZ, you must have been a raven in a former life. Good job!

Couple comments about good job. Nah. Great job!

How long were you there? I assume you took dirt bikes? If so, what are the rules about where you can ride there?

I saw a shot where you had a tall pole sticking up from near the rear of the toy hauler -- some sort of antenna?

Did you make it to nearby Gooseneck State Park?

I am jealous, no June Gloom in Utah.

We stayed there 3 days. Ended up staying a little longer than expected outside of Flagstaff, off a forestry road.

Yeah, brought the bikes, you can see them in the flyover shot. We only road on the main dirt road. You aren't allowed to go off it. Didn't see a ranger the entire time though. It said no fires allowed, but there was a huge stone fire-pit, so we used it every night. Not sure what could burn out there.

The thing on the pole is a Weboost cellular signal booster. Just got it and it worked great. Kids did all their classes on Zoom every day.

Had intended to see Goosenecks, but didn't make it. Wasted 4hrs one day dealing with a hitch issue.

I could have stayed there several more days. A really peaceful place.

Great vid.
Goosenecks would have been great. Drive out to the viewing area and turn left. Go about a mile and camp on the edge. Get the drone up for some amazing views!

What model did you get? 12v for vehicles?

Sounds like a killer trip. Yep, expected that you could only ride on roads, but still worth the experience.

I got the Weboost Home Room. It is AC, but you can use it with a good inverter.

Great information, thanks. Would the signal there have been strong enough to make voice calls without the booster?


A year ago, we camped in the far northwest corner of the loop and cell service was BOOMING. One of the guys said he had better cell service than at home in SoCal.

Wow and more wow! Ok you get out of quarantine first when covid comes back for another round. Based on current situations in the US I expect that to start in a week or two

Questions:
is this the Thelma and Louise drive area from the movie?
You can overnight camp in this area , with permit or no? Hiking up to the base of the rock formations is allowed?
What is the critter situation?

Just stunning colours.

It's BLM land. Free camping. No permit required.

I didn't see any animals. But I'm sure there are a bunch. I think you can hike anywhere, but didn't really study the signs (there aren't many).

There is one main road, a 17 mile loop. And several roads that go off the main path. Lots of different camping spots. Some are quite tucked in.

We only took the camper in about 6 miles. After that the dips become too severe.

There are about 4 different parks/things to see within a 20-30 mile radius.

Overall the place is very open and free, with no one hassling you.

Humm. Sounds like maybe it wasn't really an acid test for JZ's repeater, then. :spingrin:


Coverage varies greatly depending on where you are in the park.

Tested it with and without. It helped a lot.
