Nice videos.
On a side note, I went and saw the lone ranger the other day and you could definitely spot the Bachelor Loop shots. Pretty cool.

After leaving Telluride decided to leave the highway and took the Gateway road through the La Sal Mountains to Moab.

This was my second time to Moab and I was looking to change things up and not do the usual trails:

Teton Sports XXl cot, pad and tent. I actually use the pad and tent on top of my backflip more than I use the cot. Works great.

Picked up a lawrance elite 5 dsi. We stayed in creeds last night and I recorded bachelor loop with last chance mine to the map file.

Grabbing a chicken sammich in lake city with the family, reverse tracking to Silverton and then we'll do more of the loop tomorrow.

Family is loving it.

PS - I can use this Lawrence on my boat and my truck as it has a fishfinder and 7000 lakes loaded on it too.....Dept finder, water temp, etc.

Really great to know you got to go back and fully enjoy the trip!! Man I want me some chicken sammich!!

Have fun!

Not familiar with the Lowrance dsi series. Which mount did you end up with, OR or RPG?

I'm going to fab my own over the next couple weeks. I have some ideas...probably would just regret it in the long run.

Staying in Durango tonight.

We did:

Breakfast in Creede at MJs. Simply amazing and walking distance from the cabins (My family and I had the cabin 0 that PirateAir had)
Bachelor Loop with the Last Chance mine tour thingy
Lunch at Packer Saloon and cannibal grill for a chicken Sammich and then Engineer pass and summit out of Lake City, cinnamon and anamas forks just to show the kids the old substructures.
Then the 15 mile FAST road down to Silverton.
Highway to Durango.
Meeting up with Pirate to get my tiregate (thanks Trey)
Hoteling in Durango and then more trails tomorrow. Engineer kind of freaked out the wife. Kids are loving it.
