How much extra fuel do you believe is required to bring for the run? I have 2 2-gallon rotopax cans but 4 gallons doesn't seem like much extra fuel for a trip like this. What is everyone else planning to bring?

we all brought 5 gallons jerrycans last year and we got out ok,
that being said, I wished I had brought at least 10 gallons. We also may wish to explore on day 3 or 4 and that would require fuel.
This year I am bringing my trailer and will take the hit  in mpg's and will bring 15 gallons.
"GeoYota" is bringing 10 gallons ( I believe).

We should also plan for a contingency exit should the roads not be passable on our proposed route.

10 for me. 

[JFanaselle]

Great info, thanks CHUSA. I have another 5 gallon can I'll make room for, which will get me up to 9 gallons total. As for exploring... YES PLEASE!  I'd bring 100 gallons if we need it to explore!

And steve c... how come you always have to show off your @$$?

Simple.  It's glorious.

Wide angle lense? 

Sorry...had to.

10 US gallons will be our additional load out for fuel.

the Big Pine Road from Crankshaft junction to the South Eureka road(mountain pass) seems to be washed out/closed at this time.

Our loop as of today is to go counter clockwise.
South entrance, lippencott,homestake,ubehebe,crankshaft, eureka dunes, steelpass,saline hot springs, Northern exit.

 we could do:
 
Southern entrance, Saline valley hot springs(first night),

Steel Pass, Eureka dunes(second night),

RETURN, Steel Pass, Saline valley hot springs (third night)

Lippencott/Homestake camp(fourth night)

Drive out Race track/Tea Kettle Junction/Uebehe crater(then pavement to Stove Pipe wells(gas and done)

There are plenty of alternatives and plenty of time 43 days.....


PS I would like to get in touch with Mark and Nia,

if anyone knows how to do this please let them know ...

I had a matching spare, once.

Then I had to use it.....

And then I went to America's Tire and got a brand new one for FREE!!

So, I guess I've seen a matching spare,

[knightrider]
