    Nice! Hit me up if you are ever in the area and want to hit up some trails. We have so many abandoned mines and ghost towns around here it will make your head spin.

    Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

    Welcome Steve! I moved to Arizona a year ago, but before that I spent about 10 years living in San Francisco. Love that area. Donut Time in Pacifica was one of my many weaknesses, R.I.P.

    Post A Post Office

    Heading south out of the Aravaipa Canyon Wilderness you are likely to drive through Klondyke, Arizona. Don't blink or you'll miss what's left of it, which is essentially just this old post office and general store building that seems to be perpetually for sale. Location: Klondyke, Arizona Post...

    Howdy from Dallas area

    Welcome! Just today an Escalade passed me and I had the thought "I wonder if anybody would use one for overlanding". Now I know. If you start a build thread, I'll definitely be following along!

    Coffee Set Ups

    As a kid I remember my parents making coffee all the time with these with great success. Since my wife doesn't drink coffee, I typically only bring a GSI single cup french press kit, but I ended up picking up one of those enamel 8-cuppers to bring along when I know more coffee drinkers are going...

    Overlanding with cast iron skillet

    I have a two-burner length cast iron skillet that I take with on all trips. It fits perfectly between two vertical slots in the back of one of our kitchen crates, we slide it in there and it's nice and secure, doesn't really get things messy at all I suppose because I've become pretty good at...

    Arizona Overlanders

    There is a meetup on the 29th, next Saturday! Check out the Arizona Overlanders on meetup.com. @1Louder organizes it, and although it's not an official OLB meetup, it's a good group from my experience. Quite a few Overland Bound members, and we're nothing like whatever that weird North Florida...

    Homemade Solar Shower

    with both the model helicopter fuel tanks and my RinseKit the liquid is pushed out by internal pressure as opposed to sucked out, same as in your design. so i suspect the internal weighted line should be no problem. You make a good point about your design with respect to filling up. With my...
