If you see Roadrunners and Rattlesnakes you slightly off course.
If you see the Ocean and Bikini's your way off!Drive safe.

Last stop before the hotel. We will have been on the road for approximately 28 hours by the time we get there. But then we'll only have about 9 hours to drive in the morning. We should be at our camping spot no later than 4 p.m.

Well your still smiling.Keep on truckin'.

In the hotel and eating some food quickly before bed. Thanks everyone for the wishes and following along. We'll be able to get about 7 hours of sleep before eating breakfast and hitting the road for the last stretch.

For those interested, we're averaging about 16 MPG and 75 MPH.

I thought my 1,000-1,200 mile drives were bad... you guys are Champs!

Should have an elk down in about 8 hours! We got some weather coming in tonight. Should make saturday real good. I'm excited for you guys we have had action everyday with lots of bugles hope you get the same.

Good luck!
We're on our last stretch this morning, after driving since Wednesday at noon and a short hotel stay last night. 2400 miles from NC to our trailhead. We do it every year and love it!

Nice! Let's compare notes afterwards. You can probably give us tips for the future lol

On the road again this morning Before Sunrise! According to our Maps we should be getting there just before 4 pm, depending on what are stops look like. There should be two gas stops and then a quick stop in town to top off with gas right before we head into the woods

Good luck! Drive safe! Raining and snowing in Northern Nevada right now.

The first mature elk that steps within 40 yards is going to be in trouble

We pulled into our last stop and just filled up with gas. We are now headed into the mountains for 7 days of hunting!

If I have service I'll try and keep this updated. If not, thank you for all the well wishes and I'll update in a week!

Up you go! Good luck hunting!
Your travel log makes my 11 hour drive look like nothing at all.

Switching campsites. Didn't find elk but found steep, rugged country that kicked our butts lol. Trying to make the smart move and "find elk where they are"

 

[ida homer]

If the poops not soft or shining and the scrapes aren't bright orange, move on! Good luck.

 

[TakeABreakAndTouchGrass]

We finally saw our first elk of the trip after getting some great advice from somebody. We're pulling up camp for the last time and moving to a different area. We have a couple more days to try and get it done.

 

[marshman]

Keep up the work it will pay off in at least experience, hopefully you'll get bloody too!
