October 6-9 Arkansas hunt for the toothbrush inventor

@balakay you might need to lift your rig and armor it up a bit. Come on man. You know you want to.

@tex any luck on finding the route for the Ozark Overland Trail? I'm striking out.

I haven't even looked. I will see if I can find anything and I know someone I can ask.
Also @MatthewMay1 goes to school up there maybe he knows more about it or can ask someone.

At least he has sliders and a front skid. Really his and mine are the same except mine is lifted and I have that SSO hybrid front bumper.

There's a little part of me that does. But I really enjoy it the way it is. It rides good, gets 20mpg, is quiet, and doesn't eat through front end parts. When my stock suspension gives out I'll consider a lift but not before then.

We might be able to find some trail info on this site. This is where most of the Central overland guys moved over to. Guild of Overland Adventure - Index

This might be enough info to put together a route to try and find some of those routes in the video.

sorry, I can't share the route for this but it's all NFS roads that are on the official maps. We started offroad near Longpool Recreation area northwest of Dover, crossed the Big Piney River, went up by Pilot Rock, over near the Old Union School House and paralleled Little Piney Creek, then along the Mulberry river and ended up east of Mulberry Mountain.

I was looking on that site as well. I was also looking at the instructions in that video. The Longpool Rec area and Pilot Rock road are close.. but on a map I did not see how they connect.

I'll poke around. I don't know too many people up here into overlanding though.

Obammy banned lead on Federal land on his last day in office, so does that mean we only carry copper HP and steal core FMJ now for our sling shot loads?

USGS Current Water Data for the Nation

No idea about the rest but I used the above for many years of great results. I have links on my desktops to all local monitoring stations for the rivers I like to yak when in flood stages or avoid in droughts.

One of my local stations USGS Current Conditions for USGS 01409400 Mullica River near Batsto NJ

They use gate heights and flow rates. If you don't know what that is or how it impacts your journey the data is pretty much useless to you. For example anything lower than a 2 means my boat won't float over the obstacles. Anything over 4 and you had better know your shit. Anything over 6 and you had better be a pro. Over 7 just pray to die quickly

I picked this up over the weekend. Time to get legal.

No clue how I missed the no lead comment. That blows. I just looked slingshots up because I was wondering how bad the fines were for having one in this poop hole of a state..... Having a slingshot in NJ is a unlawful possession felony worth up to 18 months in jail.

Yep it also includes fishing weights,
DoD is laughing at this one... Guys there is no M16 qualications today... yeah right

You need to pull tire wheel weights off before entering National Park,

About time you show up again. I thought you left tardworld when we scraped the sticker off your truck.

 

[Silverback]

What sticker?
