    First Snow!! Very excited...time for winter fun!

    Well, we got our first snow on Thursday...woke up to about 2-1/2 inches blanketing our area. Of course we are about 500+ feet above town, lol, so by the time I drove down to town, (at sea level), all they got was a very light dusting...so I snapped these pics at the gas station while I fueled...

    Go Beyond!

    I'm sharing this video of one of my all time favorite Land Rover commercials. However, let's forget that it's a Land Rover commercial, that's not important. What is important is the message....

    Overlander, Adventurer, Traveler...Impressed by a Honda CRV? Yes... Lets start with a quick backround story. So, about 6 months ago I was looking for a small fuel efficient AWD vehicle to use for day trips and adventures. Nothing hard core, nothing for multi day, week, or monthly...

    What do you do with your new $70k off road vehicle?

    Take it off roading of course! Fun video...I love the transition from apprehension to elation and just having fun. Because in reality...whether we pay $1000.00 or $70,000.00 it should be all about getting out, exploring and having fun in our overland vehicles. Enjoy!

    Land Rover is doing what?!! Awe (wait for it)...Some!!

    Caught this story on Gear Patrol. I'd heard rumors that Toyota does this with the classic FJ Cruisers, apparently Land Rover has followed suit and is breathing new life into classic Land Rovers. The program is called, Land Rover Reborn...and this year, the program, is restoring 10 Classic Range...

    True spirit of overlanding! Congo adventure!

    Saw this video and it really made me think....sometimes, I think...we get too wrapped up in "Build Mania" and lose sight of the actual adventure. I'm guilty of it myself. This is a great video of just a guy and his rig and the outdoors...the awe of exploration and the wonder of nature. He...

As I sipped on some hot cocoa, I was looking out the window at my overlander and started thinking about my next adventure, I then sighed heavily and sat down to start checking my emails, read the morning...
