Just after turn there was a small trail to the right. Shortly after we took the picture we found out its a ranger only trail but its such a cool picture . . . "what could have been".

I like where you are going with it but not sure I can dig it. I mean, having Texas in the same region with Montana? Doesn't exactly promote regional meetups. If we are going to do the regional rockers, its not exactly an even playing field. Look at our Appalachian trip last July, nine states...

For planning I use Google map and have started playing with Google Earth. The wife just got a Garmin and I have been playing with the Basecamp but normally go back to Google Maps when I get the urge to throw the computer out the window. When we are on our trips I primarily use paper maps. The...

I like the idea, the more pictures of places and things we get up the better for everyone. The best way to get people fired up to get out and explore is to show them what they are missing. However, a trip is a trip no matter how long it is. Don't sell yourself short just because your trip is...

Update: Found a great trail through the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area so we are doing a course correction.

You know, I have been around a while and have a wall full of various awards but the one that always means the most to me is when someone says . . . "Thank you".

"To me" Overlanding is about meeting new people. But more importantly its about trying to understand those new people. That can't be done if we go in with a closed mind. I think that has a lot to do with why things are different here, people are more open to learn about other people, what they...

Our daughter has it also, got it from a concussion suffered from a fall on the playground. Its weird how that happens, I had a concussion that put me out for two days and I'm fine but her minor concussion resulted in Epilepsy. Our daughter is the one that wanted to start the 5k group. I got...

Dude, theadjack all you want. This is a lot better than what we were asking for. Actually that is a good idea, maybe we can get a couple banners made up and go under Overland Bound instead of just individuals. Maybe?

If you are up for a long drive we would love to have you join us. Short of that, go to Meepsters on Facebook and join. Once we get approval on our location we will be posting tons of information. If you want to help the Epilepsy Foundation in general, look up the Epilepsy Foundation of Texas. I...

I am part of an Epilepsy awareness group that is organizing an event for the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida. The event will be held on Saturday, 3 December and will be similar to the Overland Expo with equipment demonstrations and talks by subject matter experts (well, people who have actually...

Coopers are good tires, daughter runs them on her Libby. I am running Falkens (12.5X35X17) but may try out the Coopers my next set (30,000 on the Falkens and still look like they are new). I would recommend running 17's, you will save a bunch of money per tire and you get a lot more sidewall...

This one time . . . at band camp . . . I was looking on facebook . . . and I saw Overland Bound . . . and you know I clicked on it . . . and there was this website . . . so I clicked on it . . .

Our issue is not weight but space (down fall of most every Jeep). Being a minimalist has its advantages, the less cooking equipment we carry the more food and other stuff we can pack in. Besides, you really don't need a lot of stuff to cook most anything, it really comes down to what do you want...

One thing I didn't mention was this is also a scouting trip for a trip we are planning for next year. Part of our trip will be to find the perfect spot to experience the Solar Eclipse, likely somewhere in southeastern Tennessee. If you are not aware, on 21 August 2017 a Solar Eclipse will...

Wife and I split up our one big summer trip into a spring and fall trip. We started talking about the fall trip yesterday and settled on going to the Overland Expo East. Who all is making plans to go this year?

Our daughter just got back from Ocala where she had gone to the Drive-in theater and presented an idea to us. She is thinking of putting together and trail run in Ocala National Forest and finishing it with an evening at the drive-in. No further details at this moment, just an idea. Would...

Update: We have been interested in a trip Mountain State Overland did last year ("Gettin Somewhere" video). After Cumberland Gap we will be heading down to Del Rio and then following Mountain State Overland's route to Big Creek then along the Old Cataloochee Turnpike to Sylva with a stop at the...

Considering how many organizations this will effect there is going to be a major fight, beyond SEMA you have IMSA, SCCA, NHRA, IHRA, SCORE, and a lot more major organizations who are directly involved in the conversion of road vehicles to racing vehicles. I will certainly agree that the EPA is...
