    Creating Overland Routes in Google Earth

    Awesome post! Is that spot near Gemini Bridges a "designated site" though? Not supposed to camp along that road except in sites designated with a brown post and tent symbol

    Rear winch and/or trailer winch how many of you are running one?

    How about the Hi-Lift recovery Kit? http://www.hi-lift.com/accessories/off-road-kit.html I have one but I've never used it. I need to get a long length of chain to use with it since a recovery strap will just stretch.

    What is your favorite overlanding movie, video, book, story, or inspiration?

    Jupiter's Travels. A book by an English guy that went around the world on a Triumph in the '70s. It was an inspiration for Ewen McGregor to do his trip. I think it was what first introduced me to the idea of overlanding. It was years later that I started backpacking and then watched the Long Way...

    Another vote for South Bay or Peninsula, although I will try to make the Concord meetup.

    Trip Zion national park Labor Day weekend - 08/30/2017

    I'm planning on going to Zion and the Grand Canyon around that time. I think I only have 2 days I can spend at Zion, but maybe I can meet up.

    Dispersed camping

    That's good to know. The only time I really had a problem was maybe 6 years ago now. I had setup just down river from a group and as soon as I sat down for a beer after setting up my tent they let loose a barrage of fire that lasted for at least an hour. It seriously sounded like I was in...

    Dispersed camping

    The river was moving way too fast in May so no. I went last year later in the year and the river was real low and glassy. Didn't have any luck but all I saw were tiny fish anyway. I'm not much of a fisherman though so other people may have had better luck.

    Dispersed camping

    I know those spots! Went to that second spot back in May. There was a downed tree blocking the trail from all the rains. Cleared it with my winch. Only thing I don't like is all the people that shoot their guns and rev their ATV's at 5 in the morning.

    Baja Rack stolen in Sunnyvale, CA

    Not sure if insurance covers it. Pretty sure car insurance does not and I only have liability anyway. I have renters insurance but I don't have a receipt for the rack so it's pretty unlikely. BTW, there is a Baja Rack listed on craigslist right now that is in Sunnyvale. It is NOT mine however...

    Baja Rack stolen in Sunnyvale, CA

    Hmm well I had to repaint it with Rustoleum Hammered Black spray paint due to rust issues, so that's pretty distinctive. Also there are a couple of indentations on the driver side upper rail from the some quick fists I had mounted at one point. I could definitely ID it but I'm not sure anyone...

    Baja Rack stolen in Sunnyvale, CA

    Yeah man, seems like a real unlikely crime? I hope anyways. Leaving my rig parked at work in the meantime. It's funny because I have been worried about my catalytic converter, scepter cans, etc. never worried about the rack. I need to get a place with a driveway.

    Baja Rack stolen in Sunnyvale, CA

    I don't think I can post images yet... <--- did that work? It fits a 4th gen 4runner, the standard rack with 2 side LED's and 2 rears that I just added. Anyways, I kind of doubt that it will end up on craigslist. Seems like such a specialized item. Unfortunately I assume that it is another 4th...

    Baja Rack stolen in Sunnyvale, CA

    Just thought I'd put out a warning. Came home to find that someone had taken my Baja Rack along with the LED's I recently installed. Was just parked in my apartment complex's lot. Never thought someone would steal it off my rig. Pretty bummed. Security bolts on the next one?
