A trail run usually consists of a day trip to a local offroading area or trail.

An expedition run consists of a two or more day trail run to remote areas. An expedition run usually requires camping, extra fuel, food and water, and etc...

Expeditions = Numero Uno.



Woohoo one coming up next weekend!

with they way our FJs eat gas, a 1 day run often requires extra fuel.

i'd venture to say that even a run like the mojave doesn't really equate to being an "expedition." but, that's probably because Larry just makes it so organized and easy. if i was out there with my friends, we'd be going around in circles looking for piles of rocks on the ground...then it would truly be an expedition.

Expedition Run > Trail Run

Technically, an expedition is any trip taken with a group of people with a purpose (as defined by popular online dictionary). In off road terms, I feel an expedition is defined as an organized journey the expands over a great period of time and distance. Personally, it's not an expedition unless the journey itself is a challenge and take place over a period of a week or longer.

I can agree with your personal interpretation with the exception of duration.. In my mind, 3+ days on the trail warrants the title of "Expedition".

Driving to Burbank from the OC everyday is an Expedition!

An Expedition is what you drive to a trail head. A Trail is what you drive an FJ on.

Could be faster!!! Maybe that's the next project; me and Mo will start modding up my lil Honda. hehehe. Now that would be funny. It is pretty fun though; I just gotta watch out for those coppers. Or if I get in a bind; maybe I just need to hit up IMACHU to help me out. LMAO!!!! j/k

I think the issue is that the 'Adopt a Trail' section has special permissions for those working on the program.

Take a look at the trail run section. It's posted there as well, and that thread is open to everyone.
