Got a set of 205/70R15 Yokohama Geolandar A/T tires for the VW. They were the smallest 15" A/T's I could find. Definitely mild as far as all terrains go, but I wasn't looking for anything super aggressive anyway. I've been back and forth about getting a set off these for a couple of years...

I was looking through some older pictures and found this one. I don't have this truck anymore, but I liked the picture. 1985 Chevrolet C20. I put a cap on the bed and built a sleeping platform for a 2 month trip out west. A couple weeks before leaving, it developed a knock in cylinder 1 so I...

Somewhere in western Kansas.

The VW on an original portion of the Lincoln Highway in Iowa.

Rome Pond, Wisconsin.

Squam Lake from the top of Rattlesnake Mountain. New Hampshire.

Coronado Heights, Kansas.

Thanks for the compliments and you're spot on with your assessment of the situation. I had left California in the dark that morning and didn't reach Delta, UT until after dark. That was the first day of the four-day 2000-mile trip home to Wisconsin.

Gibraltar Rock near Lodi, Wisconsin.

Thanks. That picture is one of my favorites I have of the VW. I've driven the stretch of US-50 through KS, CO, UT, and NV three times now. I really enjoy it. Can't say that I know much of its history, but I do know that it is one of the older cross-country highway routes. I enjoy 50 because...

Sunset along US-50 near Delta, Utah.

Sorry couldn't resist. Here's my original adventure ride from almost 20 years ago. 1982 Honda C70 Passport with a beat-up thrift store trunk mounted to the rear rack. Fit a tent, sleeping bag, a little food and not much else. Yep, it handled like crap with the trunk loaded. This picture was...

Along US-50 in Nevada. September 2019.

I don't do a whole lot of unpaved roads in my travels these days. With my old VW being incapable of maintaining Interstate speeds, I spend most of my time on US highways, state, and county roads, with maybe a little dirt thrown in here and there for fun. Not having a GPS, I travel with a paper...

I'd get a van. A Ford E-Series or Chevrolet Express cargo van somewhere around 2010-ish would be my number one choice. A passenger van could work too. I used to have a GMC Safari that I drove all over the place and I'd definitely consider another Astro/Safari, but at least where I am, they...

Not much of a "build" but my main mode of travel is a 1966 VW Beetle. I made a sleeping platform that fits inside after removing all but the driver's seat. The VW has taken me many places across the country. It's a good car. Wandering in northern Nebraska. Old Highway 50, Utah Pacific...

Winter hike up Mount Moosilauke, New Hampshire.

Chimney Rock, Nebraska taken in 2015

An early spring sunrise over a flooded field. Jefferson County, Wisconsin.

Thanks. Wisconsin does have some beautiful spots. It's not all just corn and cows.
