What kind of temperatures should be expected?

[no1clyde]

That is a hard call to make but it shouldn't be to cold. I am hoping about like the GCA. Elko should be the coldest we see I am thinking.

It was pretty darn cold the first and last night of the GCA to me but I live at a lower latitude than you eskimos!

Hopefully I can make it again.

No, the last night of the EIA was cold, and wet. We woke up to snow in the hills above us.

And not very far above us I might add

Herbie I hope you can make it out again. I think you would enjoy the trip and the sights of Nevada, there is a lot of old things around this state, all these towns including the one I live in are Boom and bust towns that mining rules.

Thanx Ed, that should work out great. It should give Mitch a little longer to get ready after his race also.

[bajaherbie]

Well if Mitch is going than maybe OlWhatsHisNameFormerlyFromArkansasNowLivingInOklahoma might show up too?

Ed- are street legal vehicles required on this trip?

Yes Richard this trip is setup just like yours was. We have some sections of road we have to use to connect things and to get gas and supplies in the towns we will go through.

I would imagine Nevada would be pretty lax like Utah is, especially if you're in a big group and registered ORV.

[JUSSUMGUY]

If Ed's yellow buggy doesn't get hassled on the roads in Nevada I think we are safe.

Yes. Registration of an off-highway vehicle is not required if the vehicle is registered or certified in another state and is located in this State for not more than 15 days.

I think Street registration would be good. Ed would know how well these things are enforced. Looking at the route, there are a couple of transition sections that are highway. I'm sure, with effort, those could be trimmed down significantly, but the trip cannot be completed 100% within the law unless street legal. If someone if NOT street registered and wants to go, speak up and we could look at this further.

[JUSSUMGUY]

I was mostly thinking of Nate with his Chenowth buggy. Not street legal per se but probably would have utah utv plates.

[JUSSUMGUY]

For those without a radio for the trip this might be an option. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3cJl4C ... e=youtu.be
