vegas/ henderson area and AZ were on my list too... plenty of freedom to do whatever, but the heat...

after 50 days up north the heat is driving me crazy LOL

yeah that's also what i saw when i was out there with MT.
they were not joking with all the people moving in.

TN seems like the better median for me.

The super rich are buying 1000 acre tracts of land in MT at an unreal pace!

TN seems much more realistic.

my friend with his JT joined this weekend's trip.
i think that's gonna be the better option for me out east with tighter stuff while retaining solid axle capabilities.
at least while the full sizers in our group were going slow to navigate the trail due to size, the JT was taking everything like it's a walk in the park with plenty of rooms to spare.

I see a lot of those on trails out here for sure. JTs and JLs are all over the place for good reason.

TN is top of the list, MT was on the list because I was there and enjoyed my time. but once that "oh god this place is beautiful" wears off and reality kicks in... I don't think I can deal with the winter LOL

Day 22 - Denali Highway
Day 21 was spent doing nothing in Fairbanks other than to wash the mud off my truck. I like Fairbanks more than Anchorage for some reason... probably because it's a way smaller town and the Asian foods are more authentic (and more expensive)

Anyways, we left Fairbanks behind and headed south.

Clouds hanging really low for some reason. I noticed the clouds sit lower up north than in lower 48.

As I continued down Parks Highway, I passed by Denali again. I tried to position the truck to be next to the sign, but couldn't do it. There's a post at exactly where the truck would be.

Denali Highway is an unpaved highway, the OG route to get to Denali from Anchorage before Parks Highway (the current route) was constructed. I aired down at the end of pavement, but in retrospect, I don't think airing down was needed.
I looked around while airing down, and found this perfect opportunity to take the picture I've been trying to take.

Then, off I went. Boogie all the way, only slowing down to let vehicles pass or passing vehicles.
I was stuck behind two sprinter vans until they found a good spot to let me pass. I signaled them and then gunned it. They were doing 35 when speed limit was 50.

As I continued, I saw a rainbow to my left. I found a clearing in the trees and pulled over to capture it.
After that, I kept going, and stumbled upon 2 cyclists. I waited, until one of them signaled that I should pass them. As I passed them, I slowed down to slightly faster than their pace. when I checked my mirror to see if I cleared them, I noticed one of them was missing. Then, I found him: dude was drafting behind me. I let him do some more of that then slowly increase my speed to pull away.
I got places to be man!

The first half of Denali Highway follows the ridge that gives a good view of Hess Mountain, and there are plenty of good sites. I found this random pullout that offers good view of the snowcapped mountain, so camera and big lens time.

I would camped at this site, but the site that I've picked is much better and less windy.

By 5PM, I got to the site that I chose.
I got the whole place to myself, while a couple setup on the other side of the river a bit more upstream. Their site was next to the primary spot that I wanted, and when I asked if I could setup at a site 50ft from them, the male said it's a bit too close.
Like dude, you got the entire beach to yourself, I am just off to the side and behind a bush. He even said 120 miles to choose from man and look offended. I said ok and moved on to the other side of the bridge and found this spot.

I get it, he doesn't want people to be close to him. That's fine, but no need to bring that attitude.

Starting to show your true colors right there… weren’t you just couple days ago complaining about too many ppl around you in a park, now you’re just parking within 50ft (seeing you being that frustrated, I’m sure it was def less than that!) of a camping couple and having all that space around you, I’d be 100% against it as well! Isn’t it the whole point of enjoying the nature to be “you and nature”?! That’s def creepy you ranting how it went… Such a hypocrite clown, Cali says it all

that is why i asked before i anchor down because like i said, their site is NEXT to the primary spot that I wanted and not ON TOP OF the site that I wanted.
50ft is quite enough distance to set up camp through my years of camping and travelling, not sure what you're yapping about.

of all the things i've posted that's the ONE THING you chose to comment about, says quite a lot about you yourself mr. new guy.
