You wouldn't be a little biased there would you Chris? But you are right it is a damn nice Jeep. This little driveabout was 10,739 miles, 205-1/2 hours behind the wheel, 14.9 mpg average which was crushed by about 2,000 miles of head winds which really sucked. The JK didn't miss a beat the...

The Dempster Highway, The Yukon & Northwest Territories, Canada Long been thought of as one of those must do, Holy Grail, great road trips before you die type road was certainly no disappointment. About 450 miles up and 450 miles back and just the one gas station in between before you reached...

I honestly never wanted to know. I do know it did get more and more expensive the further north you go but that is to be expected. I just told myself it is what it is and just enjoyed the ride and to hell with the cost. With the amount of gas I bought I doubt whether the wife will ever check the...

The second day’s drive to the Arctic Ocean was totally different. The roads became very rutted, big pot holes, and a 30 mile section was totally messed after the huge flooding last year by the Sag River. It took twice as long to traverse these 250 miles but well worth it. The moto bikes must...

Right out of Fairbanks the traffic was heavy but got lighter as I traversed the Elliott Highway which was a series of climbs and decent over rutted and frost heaved black top. In fact I was surprised at how many miles of paved road there was. The gravel was for the most part quite smooth but...

First off let me say that if you are one of those people that say “I must do that drive one day” stop saying it and just go do it before it’s gone. I had been talking about it for 20 years in fact I actually gave serious thought to working on the pipeline back in the 70’s. My excuses - I didn’t...

Vehicle range, gas mileage What is your maximum range in the Four Runner fully loaded. Do you carry extra gas? How big a fuel tank do you have and what is your average mpg?

I usually find that no matter what pace I travel on a trail I always find out later I missed something and enjoy going back, but with so many great trails to explore in this country it’s tough to find the time for a do over. 125 miles in nine hours works out to be less than 14 mph average speed...

Well it was a good plan - Read Dennis Casebier's book and California Desert Byways by Tony Heugel, download the waypoints from the internet and escape the office. I had a 5 day window from work to relax and see something different. I thoroughly recommend staying at the AVI Casino. Only $25.00...
