Arriving very early in the AM, I was able to track down the illusive "River Access" sign that I had remembered from my past travels down this route. This area of Colorado, the SW corner near Cortez, is a beautiful landscape of rolling fields of green crops in red soil. The huge blue skies...

You take some great snaps.

Nothing better than waking up to a lake in your backyard. Safe Travels!

Ooops, forgot to mention. This is Diablo Canyon, on the Swell in Utah at a rest stop just off i70 eastbound.

My female is the brown and white and my male is the tricolor. She's horribly independent (loves to go off and explore) and taking her camping since she was a puppy is to blame. She is great at finding water though, no matter where we take her. Been taking my female out on Overlandings...

Back on pavement, our capable vessel shot down hwy 21 into the cute little town of Beaver, UT for a refuel on both the rig and the humans on board. This town, like many small towns out west, had its come-upins in the mid 1800's as a river crossing on the California Trail (later called Mormon...

Heading west from Ely on 50/6, we pass one of the places I've really wanted to explore and yet, each time I get here, I falter and stick to pavement. Osceola, NV is an old mining ghost town with some stories of wicked big nuggets being found and all the juicy and gorey details those kinds of...

Our day 2 plans were pretty simple. See beautiful things, don't be afraid to get lost, and make our way into Utah. My beautiful co-pilot had left the planning of the itinerary and route up to me and, in my typical K.I.S.S methodology, I had little to no plan what-so-ever. I always find that in...

The day of departure was like most other week days. My long time girlfriend, aka "wifey", wasn't going to be done with work until evening so we decided that we would set a leisurely pace for our southerly jaunt and make some short and easy to achieve goals. While she sold ice to eskimos (and the...

The Mrs. and I have had a much despised and overly drawn out absence from the back roads and byways of this great country. We are usually good for a few road trips, and many weekend camping excursions into the mountains around us, but this last 8-10 month period has been focused on the...

Mount White is on my short list of mountains I want to climb, and the range is definitely one I will explore. Great pics.

Nevada is a beautiful state, with large amounts of BLM land, which means if you find a spot to camp off the main road, you can use it. Middle of NV is a great little campground called Bob Scott Campground. Good for an overnight, and it's on hwy 50, which has all sorts of historical markers and...

When one has ones loins twisted internally and ones adventuresome button pressed, one does not simple carry on as if no thing has happened. One is inclined to follow said twistings and pressings and venture forth bravely and boldly. With such bravado I set a course towards left and ventured down...

One of the important qualities of a vehicle intended for overland travel is the ability to pack shit in it. Having a Tetris like mastery of the art of packing certainly helps, but if you can't fit what you wanna fit and still be comfortable it is pointless to invest for that purpose. First and...

The road, appropriately named, that heads out of the little hamlet of Washington CA climbs up the ridges surrounding the Yuba River and then follows the fork North and East towards its spawn point. At some point in history there was a long ribbon of asphalt called Meadow Lake Road. What remains...

So, that Jeep KJ I put in a picture at the start of the thread is now mine. I haven't done anything cool to it yet, but we did take it out for explorations recently. A pic or two so I can officially join the Jeep Club of 'Murica. We have dubbed this one Firefly, and she's a stock KJ with a 3.7...

I love posting pics of the puppers. They love going out in the woods and are learning to be great camp dogs. My brown and white female is full of adventure, and I often have to hike off to find her. Thankfully our black and white male listens a lot better, and I usually locate them by his...

Still have to finish my 'test drive' thread for the new (to us) Jeep KJ we bought. Here is a couple shots from the trip out to Bowman Lake in the Sierra Nevada. Will keep modifications simple and useful, in keeping with our minimalist kind of overlanding (we call it Unorthodox, or...

The original 4x4 overlanding vehicle of choice. Nice mounts.

sorry for the delay ya'll. We went back out to the area this weekend, so i was occupied on my days off. I'll get this write up done ASAP and add a few pictures from this weekend. Much more clear up there as the smoke was not as thick.
