    Have my Eyes on a First Run at Mojave Road... 2022 (updated with photos after trek)

    Yeah, yeah: once I get some more concept down, I will certainly post my own details. I do like to plan things out, and the first stage is generally to research: ergo: "ask the experienced". My initial concept is for three days on trail, making approximately 50mi/day with intentional time for...

    Have my Eyes on a First Run at Mojave Road... 2022 (updated with photos after trek)

    Nothwithstanding that we recently had this weird rain stuff fall on us in SoCal, I am thinking more and more about taking a drive across the Mojave Road, Laughlin to the West. I reckon it might be cold at night out there in winter, but I think this is why Al Gore invented down jackets and such...

    Ford Maverick and the small overlanding pickup truck

    As the owner and longtime user of a half uni-body, mini-truck (shown here in her 1990 beauty, with Goodyears on it), I think the Maverick is neat, well-sized and has some great numbers to it! I do wonder about the axles, and I know it's not a "real 4-wheeler" with the indy suspension, but I...

    ROAM OR PELICAN?

    I shopped Pelican, Roam and a few others, when looking for a rooftop storage box. I found time to inspect and fondle before purchase and I think the Pelican boxes are very, very nice. However, I also think the Roam boxes are great and I bought the 95l. It's excellent. I also now own a Roam...

    Baja travel and ATV use

    Scott, there's a really great Facebook group called "Baja Overlanding", populated not only by folks overlanding Baja but also guides who are open and helpful with information regarding regulations, permit issues, etc... Check them out and you will be stoked.

    No more generators in California?

    Hahaha! California has effects on Ohio? Of course. Leaders do that. Now, does Ohio affect California? No. Irrelevant states that live off welfare from California taxes don't really affect much of anything, as long as you folks just stay the heck out. It's terrible here, with gangs of...

    It is magic. It comes from Santa. Don't ruin things, bro.

    Tailgater Tire Table

    I've seen these, or the knockoffs, but usually at parks/campgrounds and always with clean vehicles. I have to say, I haven't used it, but I think I prefer my lighter, larger, less expensive collapsible aluminum folding table. I can seat four at it, or use it for a cooktop, the legs level and...

    Do you fellas just park on Grand, or Kalmia? It's "on the street" rather than a parking lot?

    Your dog looks great! Nice truck, too, but you know what I mean. I'm in San Diego, too. Have you found/met any of the local clubs? I noted that there's an Overland Bound meet in Escondido (see the Rally Point tab) and that SD 4Wheelers have an event in January that's open to all rigs (ranging...

    I've got one of the Smittybilt compressors, and I just keep it stowed in my rooftop box, along with my tow strap, softy shackles, headlamps, tools and such.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Well... I skipped the ROAM deals today, because all my stuff just arrived... but then I realized I have a dividend left over at REI: so I picked up a set of clearance kitchen items, a GSI Santoku knife kit with cutting board, a collapsible sink and a couple of cups for use in the rig. Now, I...
