Yes it is the CDR. I saw the article on Expedition Portal and looked hard for the route /track that Hema did but couldn’t find it. Can you give me some guidance on finding it? I want to run it in my modified Suburban. Any chance of tag-alongs?

Awesome. I am eager to see your tracks.

Hello from Sturgis, Michigan. Sitting at the kitchen table and talking about attending Expo West. Did a date check which lead me to your post (obviously). We are at least initially interested. Do you have any details to date (duration, type of rig, camping)?

I don’t believe so. I believe the park closes in December. The park is multi-use. You can even primitive camp in the park if you like.

Yes. I was at Uwharrie Park twice last week with my daughter who drives a lifted Jeep JK. It is a nice off road park with great trails which include some great hill climbs. Trails are well marked and rated. First day was dry so we were able to do all moderate trails. Saturday was wet which made...

I have seen several posts on Expedition Portal by folks who have done a route that parallels the Continental Divide Hiking Trail and the folks from Hema Explorer have recently mapped a route. Must be it isn’t well travelled yet. I will continue my research digging deeper on the web. I do...

My apologies. I am interested in the Continental Divide Trail but melded it and the TAT together. My bad.

I am in the very early stages of planning to run the Transcontinental 4x4 Trail and have a couple of questions. Has anyone on the forum done it? How long did it take? How extreme was it? Can it be done in a Lifted Suburban? Thanks in advance for the info.

Hello from Sturgis, Michigan. Always interested in meeting new folks and going on the next organized ride.

I have a 99 Suburban which I lifted 4” and now run 33’s on 15” rims. The 350 cid engine is as reliable as morning. I just did a first tune up at 185,000. The 3rd row pops out in a few minutes without tools and provides 9’ of flat with the second row folded. I camp in it, tow with it, work out of...

Jones, everything in life is done according to a budget regardless of the size. As many have already said just get going. You will be able to build your arsenal of gear as you gain experience. As you move along you will find what you’re lacking and can pick it up as you move along your...

Hello Kurt. I was intrigued by your story. I also have an H3 Adventure with the In-line 5 cylinder. I have had it 5 years and it has 140,000 miles. The only “trouble” I have experienced is replacing the ball joints. I love the 3 especially because it is different. I just returned from a week...

Hello everyone. Steve Saddler here (user name Skullman). I am from Sturgis, Michigan. Because I am recently retired I look forward to more Overlanding. My current rigs include a ‘99 Suburban and an 05 H3 Hummer Adventure. I have been wheeling for years locally and am ready for some extended...
