Where are you headed this year?

Dang, reading the responses ----> you all have some super cool trips planned!

Michael Grasso

After I pick up the 2025 I will be going back to Moab for the OffRodeo, again. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

You have to let me know when you go. I'm just 6 hours from there. May not be able to meet you up there, but I never know.
Can't wait to hear when you get to pick it up!

I have opportunities to go on some trips, Moab and Ouray. Even this shaky economy wouldn't keep me from going. But life has other plans.
I will need to follow this thread to hear about everyone's adventures!

Hope you all have fun and stay safe!

Well be out there July 4th weekend. Just by myself with the fam, I wasnt planning on anything real stupid, but if there are others, its prime bad decision time.

Very doubtful I will be able to leave home. But I will keep it in mind!

No worries. you guys have a lot on your plate. Hope we get to run around with you at some point this year, even if its just ABQ local.

I went to the Philippines January 27, left there to do wreck diving in Chuuk Lagoon, Micronesia on March 1, will go back to the Philippines until April 28. Return home to Gold Canyon, Arizona, recuperate for 7 to 10 days then drive a 23 Bronco from Gold Canyon, Arizona to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Will start driving the 2nd week of May and either return to Arizona in September or continue south to the tip of Argentina so to drive from the Arctic to the Antarctic. I that happens it will take 15 months. It is my dream to drive this but it is my wife’s nightmare. She wants to go to Alaska but does not want to continue south through Central and South America. My plan is to be really nice for the several months going north then she will want to go south. Plan B- BEG

Nice! Sounds like you love your adventure! Have you ever seen a show called Long Way Up? It's a documentary series, where they travel from Ushuaia, Argentina (the southern tip of South America) to Los Angeles, California, covering approximately 13,000 miles. There were some parts where they, shall we say, went incognito. I would recommend watching it before you make that trip.

Yes, since we retired, 10 years ago we travel 8 months per year then go back home for 4 months. I have been to all the countries in South America (Ushuaia plus an expedition to the Antarctic) before and Central America that we would be driving through. I have been to Alaska from the lower 48 12 times. Thanks, I will check it out

Since I am not retired, my list is short!
Our first trip is to head up to our place just North of Atlanta Michigan to Canada Creek Ranch, no this is not in Canada but here in the States.
In May we move out 5th Wheel off of storage and onto a lot that we get every year in the campground.
The trips we have planned this year follow in this order.
May:
Move the 5th Wheel and do some sight seeing (not shooting Elk or Deer) but to actually watch Elk and Deer around the area like we always do.
June:
Go up to our place and do some off-roading in CCR then go across the street to do some more off-roading on the Atlanta and Mio trail system.
July:
Head up for two weeks to Brimley area in the U.P. and camp at the Bay Mills Casino Camp Ground and do some Yooperlite searching.
In the same two weeks that we are up there, head over to the West side and camp at a place called Indigo Bluffs in Empire, and do some sight seeing over there.
August:
At the end of August first part of September, head out to Ouray Colorado for a week, join up with many Bronco Nation Friends that I’ve got to know and became very close with here, and when we went out to Moab Utah last year.
More than likely there will be more Bronco Nation family off-roading meetups to come.

Would love to do off-rodeo again… maybe if I treat myself to a Stroppe…

Yes, yes, yes!

Never dove Chuuk but flew through once, living on Kwajalein for nine years… beautiful water and diving in Micronesia…

The Pan-American Drive sounds amazing!

This is the sightseeing I’m talking about up at Canada Creek Ranch.
No Deer or I were hurt during this photo shoot! 🤣

OK, well, first thing isn't a trip, it's getting my back fixed so I CAN go on trips. But after that:

1. Some day trips around home (Santa Clarita, CA) scattered throughout the year (I try to do a run every month or two. After that I get jumpy)
2. A work trip to Nashville in May
3. Big Bear Bronco Bash in June with SoCal Broncos
4. Colorado trip the first week in Sept. with some friends from Bronco Nation

BTW, we are starting to beat the drum for Big Bear Bronco Bash. It's June 5-8, 2025. For more info, check out the So Cal Broncos website BBBB page here.

Looks like a great time was had..

re: retirement:

While it's great, it also means you are older. Everyday when I wake up in the morning I think to myself ➡️ 'yay, I made it another day!' 😂

Not going anywhere, too busy.But will find time to do some offroading and fly fishing.
