Such great memories, thank you for sharing! Adventure is the true spirit of overlanding - what’s over the next hill, around the bend, how will the stars look from the top of that mountain? Thanks the magic!

Great discussion! Sometimes it seems that overlanding has become a contest of who has the “coolest” rig, instead of seeking great adventures. Yes, you can have fun in all kinds of vehicles! I recall a friend and I exploring Tennessee and North Carolina in a rented red Toyota Corolla. We drove...

Back at home, missing the road…but have to admit I’m enjoying unlimited hot showers and not waking up to a frost-covered tent and ice in my Nalgene bottle!

Good morning all, I’ve can canceled my RSVP to the rally, as I have to head home earlier than expected. The good news is that someone can now grab my ticket to the event on Recreation.gov. I hope to do this run next year when I return to Colorado. Hope you all have a great time!

“Because in the end, you won't remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.”

Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest - Patriarch Grove & Barcroft gate. Beautiful day!!

Excellent choice! I’ve been using an ExPed Downmat UL Winter for the last few years when tent camping and backpacking. Quality mats, if a bit pricey, that hold up if you treat them well.

Definitely, I’d love to hear about your experiences camping in the T@g. I just did a 51 day trip in my baby - what a blast! However, I’m going fast & light on this trip, tent only.

I’m just passing through for a few days on my return trip from Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada Range. This is my last long road trip of the year. I’m excited for dinosaur tracks and petroglyphs - thank you for hosting this event!

All, I booked site #89 in the Lake Hasty Campground (John Martin Reservoir State Park) for October 29 & 30 (2 nights). It’s about a 45 minute drive from the rally point in La Junta. There’s space for another vehicle + 3 ppl, if anyone’s interested in sharing. Not many decent options in the...

I’m going back to Cali, stylin’, profilin’ I’m going back to Cali, Cali, Cali…

I’m booked for Oct 30! (Yes, I’m from Maryland, but I’ll be passing through your area around this time)

Where do you plan to camp when visiting the U.S. National Parks? Although it puts you in an established campground, it’s sometimes advantageous to be inside the park boundary. A good example is Rocky Mountain; camping at Moraine Park means you won’t need to purchase either day use or Bear Lake...

Have you checked Harvest Hosts?

I just returned from a trip of more than 10K miles. Before leaving, I bought an inexpensive ($13) memory foam lumbar support cushion at Marshalls. It has a single strap that hooks behind your seat. Worked great! There are numerous options on Amazon, too.
