  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Spare tire mounting for 4runner

    Are you sure it doesn’t fit? My Nitto Ridge Grapplers (LT285/70R17) are 32.76” and the full size spare fits underneath just fine on my 2016 4Runner.

    Yellowstone NP is closed

    I left Yellowstone due to the rain, a day before they announced the closure. Cut short my visit by three days. It’ll probably take years to repair the roads and have a negative economic effect on the Gardiner area if the north entrance remains closed for an extended period. Even down here in...

    Overlanding on foot, aka hiking: Mt. Washburn in Yellowstone (snow, minor hail) and Lake of the Crags in Grand Teton (steep, lots of snow, amazing views).

    OB Approved Planning Around Fire and Smoke

    Check out the “Fires - Wildfire Maps and Info” app. The logo is a red flame on a brown background. It’s a singular point of access for various wildfire resources: InciWeb, CalFire, NOAA, etc. in the U.S., plus several Australian reporting agencies for our friends in the Southern Hemisphere...

    Yellowstone area camping

    I’d also recommend you keep trying to book inside the park by contacting the booking company (Xanterra - Yellowstone National Park Lodges) right up until your arrival. CALL, don’t trust the online booking system. I was able to change my dates last summer on very short notice, even though their...

    Kon Tiki: Across the Pacific by Raft by Thor Heyerdahl

    An amazing story! In 1947, Thor Heyerdahl and his small crew set out to cross the Pacific Ocean from Peru to the South Seas on a small, homemade raft in order to prove his theory that ancient people could have completed such a feat. This story not only involves “overwatering” travel, but also a...

    Desert Solitaire

    One of my favorites! I recommend reading two other Abbey books: The Fool’s Progress - a disheartened man journeys (overlands?) across the US with a dying dog to his Appalachian childhood home. Along the way, he reflects on his life. The Brave Cowboy - a stubborn cowboy (4-legged overlanding)...

    Photography

    Nice! I like the sharp detail in the smoke. What shutter setting did you use? Would you do anything differently next time? I had my first go at photographing humans moving quickly (dancing). It’s difficult to find the sweet spot. I’m using a Canon 5D Mark IV. I used the program (P) setting, AI...

    It's Time To Leave

    Some of my favorite Kerouac quotes: “Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don't be sorry.” “There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.” And finally, my favorite… “Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your...

    Toilet

    I’m also rocking the Cleanwaste. I like that it packs down into a small rectangular case. I pair it with an inexpensive pop up privacy tent purchased on Amazon. Both take up very little space in the truck.

    Plates and bowls, let's overthink this together

    I’m all for cheap, lightweight and easy to replace, so the dishwasher and microwave safe plastic dinnerware from Target and Walmart are my favorites. Each piece was about 75 cents. I’ve added a couple of metal bowls ($1 each) and 3 sets of eating utensils (25 cents each piece) from Goodwill. My...

    Battery Creep. Humor, depression and success.

    I’d prefer to use a 600mm lens with a tripod. Bet you’ll get some great shots! I may step up to that level one day. The picture below is with the 400mm. The details are super sharp, good glass is worth the $$$.
