    Huckleberry Jeep Trail

    I hate leaving things unchecked. Last year, @Captain Chaos scheduled a trip up the Huckleberry Jeep Trail in Ferry County, WA. A little over a week before the trip, wildfires closed the area. We'd have to stash it in our back pockets for another year, if it didn't get burned out. But with this...

    Lolo Motorway and Toboggan Ridge - 08/11/2018

    We'll be running most of the Lolo Motorway, west to east. After a night of dispersed camping, we'll connect up with the narrow and overgrown Toboggan Ridge and dropping down into some world class flyflishing grounds of the North Fork Clearwater River. The ride terminus is the Kelly Forks...

    Bangin' around the Echo Trail, Northern, MN

    I just finished a trip from ID to Northern MN to retrieve my Mom from one of her cabins. While I spent several days exploring MT backroads, I'll save that for another thread. The Echo trail in St. Louis County connects two of our cabins from Orr to Ely, MN, and provides multiple access points...

    Britz's Mini Rally

    I've got 10 acres of land that fell in the path of totality and was afraid the hordes were going to trash the land or worse, start a fire, so I invited a pile of Overlanders to Mesa Idaho to camp out and help occupy the land. Pretty diverse group coming from all over the west and out of the 9...

    Looking to buy my first growler (s), what are your favorites?

    I've seen the glass growlers for a many years, but glass in my life is a no-no. We lead way too rough and tumble lives. On our last Magruder run, while on resupply in Hamilton, MT, one group member showed me the path to enlightenment; He threw down a stainless steel container at Bitteroot...

    The Elk City Wagon Road and Pilot Knob Lookout, Idaho

    We just finished running the historic Elk City Wagon Road, a 50 mile stagecoach trail from the Clearwater Valley to Elk City Idaho. Wildfire smoke has blanketed the region, so many of the exquisite views of the Gospel Hump Wilderness and Nez Perce NF are obscured, but the trail is well marked...

    Dirty Dog pet divider, anyone have issues?

    I ordered up the Dirty Dog front seat pet divider for my Jeep Wrangler to keep my 4 yr old Lab and 8 yr old Borador out of the cockpit. The installation was simple, looked great and we were on our way for a quick spin in the woods. The dogs protested by trying to push their muzzles through the...

    Mounting both CB and Ham antennae on hood lip mounts.

    I'm hooking up both my CB and Yaesu 8900 in my new rig, A Jeep JKU. From everything I've read, the spare tire mount is one of the worst areas for SWR readings. I have one KM400 on the hood lip, driver's side, and am wondering if I can run a second mount/antenna on the passenger's side or even...
