Awe. Thank you. Thanks so nice.

Thank you! I listened to it the other day and really liked it too. It was a fun video to create. There are more to come on Alaska. Thanks for the comment!

We are thrilled you are enjoying the channel. There are a lot of cool trips in it! We hope you have a wonderful trip! Thanks for your comment and for watching! BTW... We have a trail guide for the trails on on our KZbin channel coming out very soon. It may be of help to you if your trip is out this way in northwest Wyoming...

The first of June is fine in the mountains for the lower roads. The higher ones like the trips we took in Cooke City are the middle of June. Sunlight Basin is the middle of July. The Pryors (this video) is the middle of June. The best way to find out is go to the Forest Service and search for MVUM (Motor Vehicle Use Maps) for the area you are looking for. The GAIA Overland layer in GAIA GPS will tell you open dates as well. However, the best option is the Forrest Service MVUM. The book we are putting out shortly of all of our trails we put on KZbin will have open dates as well.

@@wyomingjeepers Thank you!

Glad you enjoy it and it reminds you of good times. :-) Thanks for the comment!

That was a crazy trip! I don't want to repeat it anytime soon! Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for the update. Hopefully they will make a plan to get this trail on their plans.

That was pretty crazy! We didn't realize the extent of the flooding. Glad we didn't have to return! :-)

Yes, the ladies were the smart ones here... Actually, they are the smart ones most of the time! :-) Thanks for watching!

She is part of why we started filming the Wyoming Jeepers, who wouldn't want to have her humor captured for all to see?

Elaine is very entertaining!

I'm so glad you enjoyed our show! We love to get out and play. I wish we had more time to do that now that the pandemic is over. In Wyoming, we just played like this while everyone in the city had four wheels and a door. Sorry. 🙂

What a nice place to live for two years! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks!

Trapper Canyon is really a beautiful trip.Thanks for the info regarding the cairns.

Hopefully they get the trail passable again quick. I love this trail and want to get back to it!

I had to drive up one switchback forward and then back up the next because I couldn’t turn the Bronco. 😳

Maybe get a work party?

@@paulhulteng3760 You went up the switchbacks without the abiliity to turn the Bronco? YIKES!

Thank you for joining us for the ride! Well, even if it's only on TV. LOL - We have a fan trip to Kirwin, WY on 07-13-24. We appreciate your comment.

​@@melissacook Hmm, 9 hour drive for us, I am going to think about it :-)

Glad to have you on the channel... Melissa and I have been through parts of Alberta many times driving up and down the highway to Alaska. If you ever make it this way, look us up!

We have a book coming out shortly with maps to the trails we have posted on KZbin.

Well, I'm not sure about a permit but a key is required. Check with the local BLM. Thanks for watching.

The first 100 yards or so doesn't require a key or permit. To go beyond does require a key (probably a permit) as the cave is very large and would require experience to be safe. The BLM controls this so I would check with them regarding permits and the key.

It was good to have Myron on this trip. It was quite an adventure. I didn't like walking back in the dark at all in grizzly country!

It was a long, LONG wait for those guys. We sat in the trucks for 4 hours or more and we watched for bear and the guys to return. What a trip! An expensive trip. We had that drone replaced in three days but it hurt.

@@melissacook Melissa,I’m sure that it hurt, but Elgin is a Master in using the Drone and its wonderful to see where you guys are going on your trips, but its also useful to check ahead to see if the road is clear. I’m watching a series on a guy who looks at the old Indian Dwellings in the cliffs (mostly in Utah) and he uses his drone to go up close for a look, these dwellings are on very steep cliffs and are pretty difficult to get to. So the Drone’s are especially useful for videos like yours. I’m glad you got a new one.

@@bigviper64 Thank you. Yes, I agree. Elgin is a master at that drone. Although... He has wrecked many times and it has been replaced not once (this trip) but twice. He didn't want to show the other times he flew into the ground, bushes or trees. LOL - The final straw for drone #2 was a car door. Poor guy. On a positive note, he hasn't wrecked #3 once.

I'm so glad we have provided you a better view of Wyoming through our eyes. We have a fan trip on July 13, 2024 (first mention of a date). Maybe you will find your way to our neck of the woods. Thank you so much for your fabulous comment that made us smile.

Wyoming is beautiful that is for sure. There are some desolate areas too. The right badlands are pretty nice too... At least for us. :-)

We have the same fever! Can't wait for the better weather to get here. As you know, we just got dumped on so the hills are muddy for awhile. :-(

Hey, Greg. I was going to call you to see if you wanted to be an expert for one of my Wyoming Walks. I've scheduled 2024 but maybe for 2025. Thank you for watching and enjoying our fan trips out to play. We have more to come. We've been busy. I even have a few more Alaska videos to share. What a trip!

This road with the little bit of snow on it was much worse than traveling the Morrison Jeep Trail. The drop-off was just as steep and a long way down. The road was narrower and sloped to the outside. Melissa was the smart one jumping out!

Thank you! I feel validated. Last weekend, we were riding in the Pryor Mountains and drove around a corner to discover my side of the road was GONE! Elgin couldn't see it from his side, so if I hadn't given my classic holler, "STOP!", we would have tipped over and dropped into a steep washout leading to a nasty area we DID NOT WANT TO BE upside down in below.

@@melissacook I totally agree, it was very scary looking even on the video…can’t imagine riding Shotgun in a Jeep on that road!

@@bigviper64 I had to look to see which trip your comment was from because, HALF the trips seems to be scary!! Haha

@@melissacook Hi Melissa! I agree, many of your trips include shelf driving which is always hair raising scary! I hope you and Elgin are doing well..I’ve enjoyed our conversations. Did Elgin ever buy another Drone? In the one video I watched lately, an Eagle tore the drone to pieces..this video included Myron Cook in it.

Thank you!! I love to film, narrate and edit. The whole process. I wish I had more time to put out more videos. Thank you!!

Glad you enjoy the videos. You are welcome! :-)

Glad you enjoyed it... It is a beautiful area!

Thank you so much for leaving us a great comment. We appreciate it.

Absolutely!

Amen. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

We are thrilled you found the channel and have some videos to catch up on! The gals are incredible that is for sure. The Morrison Jeep Trail is iconic and deserved to have a well documented trip up it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Awe, thank you so much! We appreciate it. We love to have fun and to see what's at the end of the trail. You made our day!! Thanks for watching!

It is a narrow, steep and rocky trail with a few washouts. I don't blame you. I wonder what it will look like when they "fix" it. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

I totally get that! Especially now. Hopefully it will open up in 2024.

Yes it does... My guess is that we had a few folks that just loved the adventure and then we probably had a few that were wondering.... "What did Elgin get us in to?" :-) Thanks for watching/commenting and glad your back. :-)

The weather sure does change fast in the mountains. We can always count on rain. Thanks for checking out our fan trip. I see you have a new video out! Welcome back to KZbin!!! I hope your brother is up and driving the trails soon.

That is one of our favorite videos. The scenery is wonderful and the gals were troopers! One Hail of a Day is also one of our favorite videos. :-) Thanks for the comment and for watching. :-)

WOW! You sure did bring a smile to my face. We do love to have fun when we get a chance to Jeep. I'm so glad you enjoy our silly humor. Haha - I love to laugh. Thanks for watching! We have about 40 more shows for your entertainment.

You are welcome and we are happy that you enjoy the videos. Thanks for the comment!

I'm so glad you enjoy watching our shows. We sure do enjoy living in Wyoming, too. You lived in a beautiful place as well. 🙂

HAHA - As you know, I LOVE to take photos and videos. I have so many videos filmed to put out but so little time to create them. Stay tuned for at least six more Alaska videos. Thank you!

They do make the video... That is for sure! Thank you for watching and commenting. :-)

Thank you so much for watching! We do like to have fun. We can be a little nutty. Haha! Your comment made me smile. 🙂

From Dan - The lights are Traveller x 4inch Blackout truck pods. spot beam, if I was to do it over I would get the flood beam so the light spread out more. They are wired to an Auxbeam 8 gang switch panel that I have mounted on my radio bar.

@@wyomingjeepers thank you

Elgin is working in a Wyoming Jeepers map book that we hope to have out this summer. He can respond to where this is but I thought I’d let you know that book is coming. ❤

This trail is near Beaver Creek which is close to Shell, WY. It also goes to the Hunt Mountain Road on top of the bighorns. It also takes another couple of FS roads before coming out near Owen Campground. Detailed directions will be coming out in a book hopefully later this spring.

We hope to get an announcement of the Wyoming Jeepers Fan Trip 2024 soon. We have to agree on the location first. 🙂

Good to know. It's a fascinating place to visit. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment.

Thank you for the information.

We love the feedback! You brought a smile to our faces. Thank you!

Thanks!

I would LOVE to do a Wyoming Jeepers trip in Alaska. We had fans stop by on their way home from their trip to Alaska, so I asked them how much they had spent. They left from the NY/Vermont border, drove to Alaska, were gone for about a month, stayed in hotels, and drove a Tacoma. They didn't go all out but enjoyed a few excursions along the way. $13,000. So, if we go, we may have to fly, rent a Jeep and stay two days. Haha! No, really, I'd love to go to Alaska and film a show. It is something we've discussed. Thanks for watching. I have more Alaska videos coming out on my other KZbin channel. Watch our social media for announcements or the end of future shows for links.

Who knows? That was beautiful that is for sure!

@@wyomingjeepers It would be fun!!!

We are planning a trip for 2024. We haven't decided exactly where but plan to get an announcement out soon. Thank you for your interest in joining; we'd love to have you join us for the ride. Thanks for watching and leaving us a comment.

Will be great to have you... Melissa answered this already... 🙂

We love to have fun, especially with our fans. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you for your comment...

I would not want to be backing up too much on this trail. I did have to back up some to let a four wheeler go by and that was all I needed. I would rather just make multi point turns. All and all it wasn't too bad but you do need to focus on the trail as mistakes can be costly. Turn 16 is the one that can get folks in trouble. I saw a guy in a rig try to pile rocks to build up the shelf. The rocks gave away and he almost lost it. Going straight up it is really the only safe way. The old timers with the wagons and all were a tough lot. I do think the trail has deteriorated over the years because I know some used to take a tractor up there and it would not be possible now... Especially on number 16.

Before we drove the trail, we droned it from across the valley. Then we drove to the top on opening day and filmed the first person to drive it in 2021. RORA was taking a group over the trail that day. What a fun group. I can't image taking anyone on the trail. I would be afraid someone would freak out and drive off by mistake. Fear does crazy things to some people. I met a lady in an assisted living who watched this show with me on their TV. She could hardly sit still she was so excited to where SHE had ridden horses up and down the trail as part of her job when she was young.

Glad you enjoyed the video and got to live some of those old memories again. We haven't done Black Bear Pass, it does look like a nice trip buy maybe not the same technical challenge. We are thrilled you liked this video so much. Thank you for the complement on how it stacks up. Happy watching.... One of my favorites is the "Hail of a Day".

HAHA - Sometimes we still pucker at the idea of driving it. Though Elgin and I did drive up and back down on November 18, 2021. I believe we were the last to drive that road because we came down at dark, no one else was on the road when we drove out, and a major snowstorm blanketed the area that night. And guess what? I filmed it! We haven't released that show. Maybe we should. Thanks for watching and leaving us a great comment!

We are very luck to live in a place with such diverse scenery. The drone really helps show what is out there that is fur sure. Those kids sure could clime around on in that terrain! Thanks for watching.

Elgin is the droning wiz. He does a great job. It used to be he would struggle if I hit a bump too hard, but not anymore. I've learned to warn him and he's learned how to manage the rough trail and still create a smooth video. We do live in a beautiful place for filming. Then again, we do live next door to Yellowstone. Haha - Thank you for all the kind kudos.

I know Melissa will be replying too... I just wanted to thank you for such a nice comment! Melissa did do a great job with this one. :-). Elgin

Awe, thank you for your kind comment Brooke, AKA - Oyster Traveller on KZbin! You are the BEST! As you know, these videos can take a bit of time. This one was the toughest video I have ever created because I had over 500 clips and combined two separate trips and wanted them to blend as well as include all those who attended. I'm sure you have your share of tough videos. Thanks, again.

Glad you enjoyed it! Too bad you missed the flooding on your trip. :-)

We had a blast, too! You and Lorie are great fun! We enjoyed her grandson as well. Thanks for joining us for the ride. Someday, we will make it to your side of the state and join YOU for the ride! Promise.

We haven't that I know of but I've seen people have problems who didn't have a sway bar. That sure is a nice feature. Thanks for commenting.

No we haven't. Dan has not either. However, I do know it is an issue with JKs. There are options to take care of this. Let me know if you are interested.

I bet! Thanks for watching and leaving us a fun comment! Haha

Ain't we all!

New subscriber to what looks like a great channel. I'm over in Idaho Falls and drive Wrangler too. It's my Mr. Magoo car.

@@HarryPalmer-P.I. Thanks for subscribing and joining us for the ride fellow Jeeper. We appreciate your comment and subscription.

That would have been great. Not sure what we are doing this year but it will be posted. Where at in MT? Thanks for the comment. :-)

@@wyomingjeepers Southwest, north of Yellowstone a bit. Last year we discussed your coming up for a day trip to an old mine, but floods blew the bridge out in the backcountry...no scheduled rebuild at this time. 🫤 I have Elgin's email, however, and will send updates as I have them.

I do have your emails too... I just didn't put it together that your KZbin name and your email name are different. Too bad about the bridge. Sometimes, you have to think the Forest Service is not too sad about roads closing down. At least here in this area, it seams that way.

We hope to come up and take that drive with you when they rebuild the bridge. Please let us know when the canyon drive is accessible again. Thanks for watching and we hope you can make the next fan trip. Elgin and I were talking about where to go this morning. Thanks for watching!
