MontanaPodder.

Never stayed at Baker' hole.  Sounds great.  Right on the Madison River.   Another good one is also on HWY 191 --  Red Cliff.  It is on the the Gallatin river.  Great Fly Fishing.   it is just south of the turn off to Big Sky.  In the summer they have wonderful FREE concerts in their park.  Like your idea of trying to get up an informal local group for some outings.

Have fun Podding in Montana.
Podding from Montana and loving it!

MTPodder:

Yes, a gathering in the Northern Rockies of Podsters would be great.  Never camped at the Bakers Hole Campground, but I have passed the turnoff to it numerous times on my to Jackson Hole.  On the Madison River, it looks like a wonderful place for a Pod-rally.

I don't know much about stripping decals off the Pod.  I struggle to keep them on by not using the high pressure hose in car washes to clean the Pods that I have had.  I did notice that, when I accidentally left some Gorilla tape on the back edge of my old 172, the paint came off with the decal when I pulled it away.

If yours 177 is a Hood River edition, you don't need risers because your Pod comes with them.  I've had both my old 172 (an HRE's) in some gnarly backcountry trails and roads in Southern Utah and haven't come close to high-centering the Pod.  The one drawback on the 177 when compared with the 172 is that the former lacks the interior storage space my 172, which had the monster storage under the bottom bunk.   I also removed the microwave and installed rev-a-shelf steel pull-outs to make a pantry.  To make more storage space, my first mod on the 2013 177 this spring will be to add storage space by modifying the electrical break box bench in the dinette, as per the mods posted here.  Then, some shelving over the dinette and the bed - also as illustrated here in several posts. 

Good podding and keep in touch.

Congratulations Austin.  My wife and I just bought the 182G last this last Sat.  I pick it up next week after I return from a business trip.  We can't wait to start using it with our 4 year old son.  We too have tent camped for years so this a nice upgrade for us.  We live in CA so we will be camping mostly in our state but at some point I want to head to Montana and Wyoming to do some fly fishing and river rafting.  Have fun and I will post a pick when I pick up our R-POD!!

Baker's hole is a nice campground that has a lot to offer nearby.  We will be there with our 2013 HR 177 in June on a weekend or two, hope to see you there.

 Welcome!  We may be asking for future travel ideas in your area.  Summers bring us to the Rockies, and MT Gold Country and the Glacier NP area are on our list.

Enjoy the adventure.  It is nice to graduate from a tent and have hard walls in stormy weather:)

Welcome Aboard!  I've got a 2013 178, located on the Yellowstone on the Eat River Rd.  Will be there sometime in Jun and look forward to using it around Yellowstone.  In the meantime, my friends store it for me at their home.  Dick

Thanks for all the friendly replies! We took ours over to the Madison River Friday night for the maiden voyage! All went very well dry camping. Stayed plenty warm. Loved waking up after a restful sleep next to the river. Bone dry over there right now and free camping on blm land.  

Mine is not a hood river, just the same color scheme. I have already dragged the rear jacks 2 times, so the risers are on the docket.

Yes Bakers hole is awesome. I fly fish there all the time. Very good. Maybe a mini gathering in late September or early October? Or along the Yellowstone in paradise valley could be fun too. 

I'll post up some pics soon!
