This was today on the Needles Highway in the Black Hills of South Dakota. What a beautiful area!

Earlier this year, I added pair of LED strips inside my cargo area that come on when the lift gate is opened, and another pair on the inside of the lift gate that operate with a separate switch. They make a huge difference, and we've used them frequently over the past several weeks on our...

We purchased a toilet seat that fits on a 5 gallon bucket. Plastic bags fit over the edge of the bucket to catch waste, and need to be disposed of when you return to civilization (or dumped into a dug hole depending on where you are located at the time.) Seems solid enough, but not the largest...

I have this Bestek 400W inverter, and with my limited testing of it using the lighter plug, it worked fine running a 150W light bulb for ~5 minutes without getting too hot. I want to run heavier wiring to the back of my Outback and using that instead of the lighter socket for more potential...

Just a couple of the latest favorites. These were both Deb's from her cell phone.

@deeker Thanks! I see you peeking in on us now and then. We spent roughly four full days in Yellowstone, and drove on about half of the roads, and walked about .01% of the hiking trails. We met a guy today who has been there 11 days, and he said he feels he has experienced the entire park, but...

Thank you very much, but I'm sorely behind on reporting. Wifi in motels has been slow, so I haven't uploaded most of the photos to SmugMug yet, and I get to the motel and I'm pooped and don't write my report. Best way is still to follow on Instagram and/or Facebook. The Outback has been...

Welcome, guys! @jordanbrooks I think you are my closest neighbor on here. I'm west of Cleveland.

Had my oil changed at Subaru of Twin Falls, in Idaho. I'm over 5100 miles so far. Update soon, but I'm still adding pics in the link in my trip thread.

In the last report, we were On our way to Portland. We did that, visited the Pittock Mansion, and wandered around a bit. Then headed south. We went to Salem, Eugene, visited Voodoo Donuts, Hayward Field, then down to King Estate Winery and then to Roseburg, Oregon. I didn't know that's where we...

Those overboard bags cost almost as much as my RoofBag.com 15 cu ft waterproof bag, three inner bags, extra straps, and duffle to store it all in. More flexible, but more time consuming to load, too. http://www.roofbag.com/Car-Top-Carriers.asp

Lots of pics on Facebook and Instagram. After exploring Whidbey Island for a few day, we took the ferry across to Port Townsend. Lots of exploring through the north and west side of Olympic National Park. Hurricane Ridge, and the gravel road up to Obstruction Point, Elwha river in the park and...

I've not been doing a very good job of updating my posts here. I have been posting a lot of updates on Instagram, Facebook, And Twitter. So check over there for what we've been up to for the past week or so. What I can tell you, is that I've been driving a loaner Forester from Roy Robinson...

@pheenix9 At the very bottom of your post, you will see a line that shows when it was posted. Beside that should be buttons to edit, delete, or report the post. Poke the delete button, and you're all done. I hope that helps, Steve

We left way late on the 18th, and made it to Indiana, just short of Chicago. Saturday, we got to Des Moines, Iowa, and this evening, to Rapid City, South Dakota. We need to do 600 miles each of the next two days, so doing a quick drive-by of Mount Rushmore, in the morning, and we'll be back this...

Seattle Or Bust! From earlier today, just as we were leaving, and after I posted the previous photos. This one about sums it up!

Mile Zero: Leaving three hours behind schedule, but we got everything loaded. Definitely a bit of saggy butt. If you want to follow along on our upcoming cross-country trip, follow or like one (or all) of these social media accounts: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExploringTheUSA Twitter...

Welcome, Dan. What a beautiful photo!

I thought I'd move on from my "build" thread, where I've been prepping the Outback to a travel journal. (Prep thread Steve's Cross-Country Subaru Outback"]HERE[/URL]) I'd created a "planning" thread, but we rally haven't done any planning. We leave TOMORROW! :screamcat: A quick re-cap: Our...
