I know exactly where Old Woman Springs Road is. Old Woman Springs heads North of the 62 Hwy. If you take the same road South of the 62 it is called Joshua Lane...I am about 4 miles up off Joshua Lane, almost to the end. And you're right, I can head right out my gate and ride further than a tank of gas would allow. Let me know if you are ever up in the area with your friends and we'll go out and tear it up. I'll be riding around Pioneer Town this weekend if you know where that is.

 

Mr. Tommy,

I liked the pictures and your signature is a keeper (too funny). My bro and I take our families camping together (pulling doubles...my bros rig looks like your set-up); we stretch out there for about 150ft. My neighbors just love me when we park our rigs out in the street.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I think they are all jealous of our toys. I can hear thier kids say "Daddy, why do the Larsen kids get to go camping and 4-wheeling, and all we have is an Atari to play with?"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] - just kidding! It's fun!!

Confusedbuyer,

I get a little bit nervous pulling two trailers, but I check everything out thoroughly. There is a law on how long your rig can be, but I don't think it's enforced much. I think it's 72ft. in Utah. That's about how long my rig is.

 

In California you can get a Recreational Class A license to pull double trailers. In California, you can not be longer then 65 feet in total length.

 

must be fun trying to back up with 2 trailers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] ... could take awhile, so be patient. I love being set up at camp, relaxed with a nice cold beverage, and then watching a husband and wife show up after a long, miserable day of driving. Then they bicker as one gives the other poor backing directions. Free entertainment! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Even better when you hear a scrape or bang!

just4kicks, Pioneer town is the old ghost town, or it was a set made in the 50's for western movies ?? It's pretty cool, and nothing around, except I have a vague recollection of a store around there where we got a few wobbly-pops.

Mr. Tommy, Nevada is great, and it rarely rains.... but you gotta get out more and come and explore the Great White North!!we got desert, rainforest, MOUNTAINS... the huge ones. Mud.. But we are full of pinko "save the guay whales for jesus" groups that never stop whining about everything, so you got us there. And hunting, doesn't get any better than here. a moose... great eatin, better than beef.

You guys should check my set-up out at www.quads.ca. Under the forum "trip and events", there's a topic, "canucklehead's atv moving skills". I've posted a couple of pics of our F350 crewcab dually, with a snowmobile deck converted to haul 4 quads, and a 30' travel trailer behind. Just seems easier than hauling 2 trailers, or using those trailers where you park the quad in the kitchen.

 

Rescue...do you need doubles endorsement on a Class A Non-Comm as they do with a Class A Comm? The license chart I found never said anything about endorsements on Class A Non-Comm. Only endorsement I saw was the 5th endorsement on 10K-15K. Just liking to add to my knowledge.

It's funny when friends call me up to ask me how much their truck weighs... 38' Fifth (15.8K GVWR) will work a F-350 CC LB 4x4 V-10 out I guess. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Shoulda got a diesel. I just wanna see what those beasts weigh combined.

Hey Rescuediver,

I looked up Utah law on trailer length, and it's similar to California law (65 ft.), but if it is longer than that, an annual permit is required. However, a CDL is not required. I miscalculated my length in a previous post - I'm at about 62 ft with my truck and both trailers.

Does anyone own the 6.0 Liter? How does it rate compared to the 7.3?

 

Whitewater, your sig is a keeper as well. Cracked me up. As an aside, I pull triple trailers for a living, currently between Salt Lake and Reno. I stopped at the Por of Entry at Wendover a few months back to check on the legal length of trailer-trailer combinations. The guy says, "How long ARE you?" I told him I wasn't sure. He said as long as I was under 65 feet (we're talking personal vehicles here) I was OK. So we rushed out and bought a 100 foot measuring tape and found that we're 63 feet from the tip of the winch to the end of the spare tire on our travel trailer. Whew... The reason I was even asking was, we WERE signed up to go to that ATV Jamboree in Marysvale, but once it came time to bid on vacations I wasn't able to get that week. Drat. Though the more I think about it, and from all the coverage I've seen on TV, it almost looks like just plain "too many people" and too much dust. At least that's how we're getting over not being able to go - ha.

Confused Buyer - We'd LOVE to get up that way, but with my current situation (not retired yet) I think we'd spend too much time driving to have much time left to do anything once we DID get there. It'll be on our list of "things to do" once we have more time. I think the last moose I saw was back in the 70's when I lived in Chicago and went on a weeklong canoe trip up into the Quetico Provincial Park just above Minnesota. Great memories.

 

Hey Trasher, did you ever buy a truck? We have kind of diverged from the original subject.

Confusedbuyer, I guess I'm the confused one. I looked for your pics on your America Jr. (Canada)...Just kidding.... ATV site, but I couldn't find it. Help?

MrTommy, what do you haul? New Horse Trailers? I usually stay away from trips like Marysville. I'm kind of a loner when it comes to riding. It gets so damn dusty when you have a bunch of people riding together. Hell, I can't hardly stand riding behind one 4-wheeler, let alone a bunch of them. I like to ride this time of year because it's usually kind of wet here in the Utah mountains. In mid-summer and fall, I tend to Donn a dust mask. Dust sucks!! Oh, and I see moose and Elk almost daily (usually as road kill). Never eaten a moose before.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

2004YF2450, gees Mr. Just checked out yer toys and u must be rich!! Seriously, looks like you have alot of fun!! Like the dumbell set in your garage.

 

Whitewater,

Funy you should ask about the truck. Yes, I just found a clean 2001 F-350 oil burner. Haven't towed with it yet but I have liked driving it around town. I'll be traveling for a couple of weeks at the end of July and will find out how it pulls then.

Thanks everyone for all the great info.
