Mordor V4.0-Day 1
SW Idaho decides to join the Mordor V4.0 trip. Meeting up with trip planner and other adventurers we head into northern Utah to spend the next 4 days. Ride along with us as we travel the old Central Pacific rail bed 90 miles from Promotory, Utah to Lucin, Utah.
This trip includes attending the 150 year anniversary of the Golden Spike at Promotory, Utah, driving the old rail bed 90 miles west, stopping at old camps and towns along the way, as well as some extras. This part of Utah probably has not changed much since the time the rails were laid in 1869. It was remote then and still is. If you listen closely you might hear a lonesome whistle blow....

I WANNA ROCK! Day 1 is up!
SW Idaho Overlanding is in search of rocks.
Join us as we head to South Central Idaho to find some interesting rocks. Some are big rocks and some are small rocks. Some rocks have holes in them and some rocks are towering. A couple of times we are in rock! One thing you will see in these videos are rocks, in many shapes and sizes. So "rock on" and join us on this adventure and you too will WANNA ROCK by time it is over.

Pulling this one out of the video archives. With the Jeep being down and Corona, things have gotten a bit lean.
This was not a regularly scheduled trip for myself. A friend wanted me to guide him and some of his friends on a trail I had taken him on a few years before. These guys normally take their rigs and tackle much harder trails than this one since their rigs are set up for rock crawling. Sometimes you just need something different.
Come along with us as we travel the open desert and then drop down into a side canyon of the Snake River. We follow the Snake River for a bit and then finish off in a play area before needing to head back.

Just got back from the deep deserts of Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. Had a great time with everyone who took on the challenge with me. Here is a preview of upcoming video content. See you on the trails, George.
SW Idaho Overlanding is attending another MORDOR adventure. We have attended this gathering for a few years now. Follow us as we venture back to Mordor for a 4 day adventure. Joining us is Iroh the pup on his first adventure.
Day 1: The gathering, looking for a cave and camp.
Day 2: This episode we hike the Wood Road. This is a road that was used to access juniper trees that where growing in the lava flows for fence posts over a hundred years ago. Too bad you can not drive it anymore.
Day 3: This episode we return to find the cave we were looking for in episode 1. Then it is a lot of desert driving to get to our new camp spot.
Day 4: The last day and episode of the Mordor V5.0 trip is up. This episode we drive across Mordor! What a fun trip this one was. Iroh the pup did fantastic! Thanks for watching, George.
