    Family Heirloom CJ-6

    This isn't really an "expedition" build, but it is a neat story and wanted to share it. Back in '65, my mom's dad bought this Jeep new.

    (FOUND)Trying to find a build/trip report: Ford Escape Road Trip

    A while back, I came across a thread/blog where a guy bought a used Ford Escape (FWD, no less!!) for super cheap, fixed it up and drove it all over the place. Like 10's of thousands of miles out west. Many places he went, you'd think a vehicle like that would have no business going. I came...

    Enjoying the VUE

    I drive a 2008 Saturn VUE XR AWD and I really enjoy it. Our family of three (soon to be four!!) have taken it on some very enjoyable camping trips, and I have taken it on a couple of guys' mountain biking trips that I'll never forget. We have put a ton of miles on it traveling back and forth...
