Man, I tired to do the schaffer trail twice. First time it got dark and decided to turn around, and the second it had rained like crazy a couple days prior and the road was wet clay. Backing up through the top of the switchbacks in wet clay= not a good time hahahhaa
We came up the switchbacks from the Potash Road from Moab driving a stock 2003 Subaru Forester with AWD. No issues. Passed only Jeeps comming down the switchbacks
Shoot-dang ! you got the brass for drivin that skinny part. Cool area for sure a buddy of mine did that white rim last spring , MTN Bike non-stop 9hrs. , 2 yrs older than me @ 67...keep gettin it ! ~peace~
Get some aloe vera for that arm burn from last nights live stream. When I lived in Arizona, we used to break it off a live plant and rub it on burns. Works very well. They also sell it is pharmacies. Look forward to todays premiere.
Man I gotta get back out there and do the white rim trail. Had to cancel along with many others because of storms and flash floods in September. Seen some videos since doing the entire trail and looks like it's more narrow in some spots now and might be a bit sketchy in my F250.
A few years back we tried to drive up Schafer road but believe it or not a guy tried to drive a semi truck down it and got stuck (I think he claimed his GPS lead him there) It blocked the road for a few days. We did it a couple years later.
But.......did you ~walk~ across Musselman ? ;-) Scary ! Thought I waz gunna die! I was lucky about 15 years ago to get onboard a 3 day supported trip biking the whole White Rim......Fo-Free! (well.....doing some volunteer work along the way for the BLM). But none-the-less..... Coolness.
@@TruckHouseLife ...... OK.....that probably changed over the years. When I was there with a BLM official 20 years or so ago..., it was kind of a challenge to do it. Just as Mesa Arch is used in motivational posters with people walking/running across it. But again.... so many past recreational freedoms we used to have, are being heavily regulated these days from over use and abuse, and fear of liability. There needs to be one national blanket recreation law like the ski slopes have...... Basically; This is dangerous. If you get hurt or die it's on you and you may not sue........ Be well ! Thanks for the update. See ya out there. ((( any chance you'll be in Quartzsite for the Truck Camper Rally and American Adventurist Desert Rendezvous in Feb ? I'll be at both. )))
When my group rafted the Colorado River in commercial oarboats in 1994, we put in at Potash on a Monday and took out at Hite on Friday, Hite was, at that time, probably 25 canyon miles from the upstream limit of pooled water in Lake Powell. Today the water level is around 90' lower and the boat ramp at Hite is long since high and dry and the river still has current at Hite. But to answer your question, the take out below the put in at Potash is WAY downriver--probably 80-85 river miles Paddlers have no resupply opportunities for 3 days (J-rigs with limited outboard power) to 5 days (oarboats). Enjoying your videos--my traveling rig from NC to Montana and Idaho is an '02 Superduty, CC, longbed, 7.3 diesel, 6" lift, on 35s. Turned 286,000 last trip out, in 2020. Keep 'em coming!
After getting out of the U.S.Army Infantry in 1971, I worked at Hite. We would on occasion take a skiff up-lake to the Dirty Devil River, and to access places like Dark Canyon. Powell Reservoir was still filling, but we could get up to about 30 miles from Hite before the current from the Colorado River out of Cataract canyon got too strong and dangerous to try to power any further up. Groups floating down from Green River and Moab would typically take out on the dwindling beach at North Wash - which is where Hite Marina used to be until relocated across River to its present location. Hard to call Hite a marina anymore... Cass Hite's place had been further down in Ticaboo Canyon. It was drowned out by the rising lake waters..
Yeah I really miss the days when you can get up in the morning and ride the entire White Rim Trail on a motorcycle in 6 hours and not have to waste your time getting a permit
I've driven the White Rim Trail loop twice. It is my all-time favorite off-roading experience. If you go, be sure to take the Lathrop Canyon side road right near the Airport campground. Lathrop Canyon leads right down to the Colorado river's edge, and is one of the coolest places I've ever been.
You should start posting TH-cam shorts to attract more attention to your channel. I started making shorts but then I’m having a weird issue where TH-cam keeps giving me the error, “Last upload failed”, I can’t figure it out. It’ll let me edit a short video but it’s not allowing the video to upload. I have a good speed check
That is not the most dangerous trail .. Especially it’s a highway these days.. as I know . .. too bad you did not see it in the 70’s and 80’s ..before too many people
It's not one-way, but it is customary (and wiser) to go clockwise around the loop. Down Shafer trail (or from Potash) and then up Mineral Bottoms above the Green River.
@@jpking0512 Murphy's Hogback and Hardscrabble Hill are the two scariest sections of the loop. I've got a video of Hardscrabble: th-cam.com/video/m_L6lZ98-3Y/w-d-xo.html and Murphy's Hogback: th-cam.com/video/t9P_-B9BPvw/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
How about you stop advertising Moab and the surrounding area? It’s completely over run by people that don’t know how to take care of the desert. So in a way you are contributing to how shitty it’s getting. Just go there have fun and stop posting.
Lol I don't remember trashing anything out there, thousands of people aren't going to go to Moab and trash everything just from watching my videos, only have 2 more coming out anyways, already back in Alaska.
@@TruckHouseLife I’m not saying you trashed it. You probably know what you are doing. It’s all the other idiots that watch all the videos about Utah and Moab then come here and trash it. Seriously TH-cam and Instagram have done nothing good to protect the pristine nature of Utah’s deserts. All for some likes and ad revenue.
@@TraydonDunkheel Yeah I understand your side of things too man. I don't do it for likes and ad revenue, I make videos because it's fun to create and share, but yeah I know a lot of people do it for that:(
@@TraydonDunkheel Utah has been getting trashed by tourists for a long time now and TH-cam videos is not the cause of it. Blame the Utah Office of Tourism that's been blasting TV commercials all over the country for the past 10 years.
@@FPSHungary1337 I agree about the UOT. It’s completely short sided to say that TH-cam and social media haven’t had an impact though. It has all had an impact, all of it. I’m asking people to quit publicizing it. Still come here and hang out by all means but let’s not inspire anyone else to come here. It’s way too much.
Beautiful, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
If any truck ever said Alaska as yours does I would be amazed.. truly iconic
aww shucks
Good times!!!!!
Love the sound of your truck!!
Great views

Good stuff!!
Thanks!
TIMMY, 2/3 Of The Bridges In The U.S.A. Are The Most Danerous So Your Trip This Day Was Of Equal Value! Safe Travels! Always, Tommy :-)
My butthole clenched as soon as I saw the switchbacks lol.

Do it!
Your friend is camera shy.
She's not a fan of being on camera haha
That was some crazy-assed road! 👍😎🇨🇦🌟🚴♂️🚴♀️
Thanks for all your content, and letting us be apart of your journey so cool. Liven the dream.
Anytime!
Stay safe out there cupcake 😆👍🤣 another great video Timmy!
hehehe thanks yo!

Hi!
Was on pothash rd 25 years ago. Started raining and got slippery. Was spinning tires in 4wd going up. Wife was shitting herself. Fun

You and your little house on the prarie on wheels is so cool to watch.

@@TruckHouseLife I live in boring pancake called the Netherlands. I have to drive 1400 km for mountains in the south of France.
Cool...🇺🇾☕👍 (Did not see any drone activity, hope it's still alive 🤪👹)
National Park so can't use the drone there;)
@@TruckHouseLife oky doky...🇺🇾👌
Aww hellnaw. Not a fan of cliffs and dangerous roads
hehe
Love you Timmy!! Stay adventurous my friend!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
cheers man cya out there!
Schofield Pass is pretty damn scary. Don’t think it’d be safe for your truck
Broke down out there near it if you look back at my breakdown videos from this fall lol, spent 5 days out there tearing my engine apart.
@@TruckHouseLife damn so you did take it to Schofield. One of the best times off-roading
It's better you than me driving those trails. I'd be in the ditch. You seemed to have a great time there.
lol

Cheers dude
Went down a mountain road in Idaho similar to this

You're not "supposed to" walk across it allegedly, at least the national park doesn't want you to:(

Yup not too bad for a trail, for a main road she's a bit hairy though.
Is that a one way road??
