I'm guessing Akita/Malamute mix. Quite possibly Purebred Akita.

I'm on your heels JZ.
With living in LA county and ALL the restrictions in place, I've decided to take a LONG road/camping trip.

Also the weather is nice and gas is as cheap as it gets. Hopefully there won't be the crowds that there usually are.....I'm thinkin that there won't be...

Starting out within the next week and hitting up Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and maybe Idaho, Montana and Oregon .

As always the ONLY plan I have is to have FUN....

JZ, please do a fallow-up on your trip.
Be safe and have FUN......




Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

"Crowds in the Az forest are crazy now."

Well Fudge ! I guess with SO many people out of work and board , it stands to reason...

I guess I'll just have to go WAY out of the way then....

Don't try traveling in California
Besides outrageous gas prices (average a buck a gallon more than the US average, thanks to regulatory mandates and huge taxes) most parks and public access are closed.

The big sign on Highway 120 a mile from my house alternates between "All campgrounds and parks closed in Tuolumne County" to the alternate bummer "Yosemite NP closed to all visitors"
And has been closed for about two months.

A good thing to know about remote camping.
"Disbursed camping" is the term given to camping in unimproved areas. It is legal anywhere in the U.S. on public land, except where posted otherwise.

Thus, most of our Western States that are hugely controlled by BLM and/or designated national forest are available for camping wherever you wish. Carry your own water, crap behind the trees with the bears, have a great time!!

Use the App called FreeRoam. It is really good.

We are in Arizona now, heading for Utah tomorrow.

San Juan County in Utah (were Valley of the Gods and Goosenecks of the San Juan are) has a very high rate of Covid 19. Mostly on the Navajo Reservation. Not sure what you will find open at Bluff or Mexican Hat.

Didn't see any Covid patients, but saw a couple good views.

Flew the crap out of it. Video coming.

My 18 yo kid pulled it about 80% of the way. Teaching him how to drive in Baja at 14 has paid off.
