    Sequoia & Sierra National Forest in July

    Jnicks, just to be sure, your note refers to fire ban which I’m guessing means we can’t have a campfire, and does not mean the area is closed because of fires? What kind of temps were you seeing on your trip?

    Sequoia & Sierra National Forest in July

    Hi again, still committed to our July 18-25 overland trip with my son but wildfires are already beginning in the Sierras . Was planning on wheeling & camping at elevation in Sierra & Sequoia National Preserves/Parks/Forests to beat the heat but may get skunked by the fires. Any suggestions for...

    Thanks Proton, planning to aim for higher elevations. Any suggested trails you like? The Taco has rear locker but no winch so harder obstacles are out. I rock crawl in NC but this is our first overlander trip.

    Overlanding Solo in January in Anza Borrego?

    Looking kind of grim for allowable overnighting. Thomas Mt dispersed camping was closed due to fires. I've placed a call to local ranger district to confirm. Dispersed camping is closed in Annza Borrego SP but seems big enough to risk it. Mojave is still open to dispersed camping at the...

    Overlanding Solo in January in Anza Borrego?

    Sounds really great, we were planning on dispersed camping each night of our 8 day trip n we’re gonna hit Anza borrego cuz it’s warmer n add Mojave to cut down on total miles. If we include Death Valley it pushes us to 7 hours more driving plus off-road time. Any feedback in our plan ...
