    Laptops for Overlanding Travels

    I just recently won a chromebook from Google. It's beginning to change my mind about the way I backed up photo and video. It's perfect for JUST transferring GoPro files and photos to an external HD. As long as I can get an internet connection, then it's great for communicating with the outside...

    Guatemala: 12-day tour from Quetzaltenango to Dos Lagunas, Maya Bio-reserve, Peten

    I haven't been overlanding in Guatemala... yet! I've climbed Pacaya Volcano and visited Lake Atitlan and Antigua. I've got family living down there in Guatemala City and hoping to go back and visit. Those videos reminded me of when I lived outside of Tegucigalpa back in the late 70's. We...

    Big Bend National Park and Old Ore Road

    We gotta stop meeting like this. Man you are everywhere! HAHA! I haven't been here in ExPo much either... It's slow at work so I'm surfing around and find your write up :) Next time I go to the Big Bend area, you have to come along! Or vice versa :) btw, Barnwell on Feb 4th if you're interested.

    Big Bend Ranch State Park MLK Weekend January 2017

    I just got back from BBRSP at the beginning of the year. What a fantastic area! We hit Nowhere and the 2 mines, found 2 new (for me) trails, and 2 new campsites. Can't wait to read the rest of your report!

    Road Trip in July: TX-NM-AZ-Route 66-NV-UT-CO-TX (May Add WY-SD-ND-MN-IA-MO-NE-KS-OK)

    I think my first instinct is to slow down or avoid it. Sometimes you can't help it, as you found out with the bird.

    Sounds like a lot of fun. You must be on your way to Lost Wages... I mean Las Vegas today.

    I just caught up with your adventures, since you texted me the other day. You have been traveling some great routes! Just past Winslow we both MISSED the meteor crater! http://meteorcrater.com here's the map...

    Yes, don't forget Winslow! When I realized that we were driving past it last year, we stopped to get that famous photo :)

    FS: 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser A/G NSSE Overland Ready

    I'll bet you'll be much happier with it down in Guatemala. I'm hoping to get down that way to visit family next summer. I'll be in GC, Antigua and Lago Atitlan. I doubt I'll be driving my FJ down that way, as my wife freaks out about going through Mexico.

    Sedona Photos While I was IN Sedona, we walked around the main tourist area, went to Tlaquepaque (An outdoor artisan shopping area, trying to be like the real Mexican one) and drove up to the Airport Lookout. I got to run 3 local trails in Sedona. I had to run them solo since Mrs. BlindWilly...

    Arizona Photos. You are going to be hitting WAY more than I ever did on my trip out west. We drove from DFW to Albuquerque the first day. Depending on your budget, definitely check out the Hotel Parq Central. After a long day on the road, it's a great place to stay. Service is absolutely top...

    Mr Noel is correct, Jerome, AZ is a great town to visit. Seligman is fun, but brief. The only way I discovered Seligman was passing through on the way to Peach Springs to get to Diamond Creek Road.

    I haven't even read this whole thread yet, my friend. Here's my first 3 suggestions, then I'll come back to write more If I need to. First, take highway 89A from Flagstaff to Sedona While in Sedona, take a drive UP to the airport, enjoy the view from the top of the Mesa. They have a great...
