Yeah, always learning!

Snow Bashing After getting a good night sleep after helping with the recovery, it was time to head down the mountain. The easy way or the unknown way was the question. From where I was at I could go back up the route that I came in on. It was likely iced over from last night and I would need...

Great questions. I was thinking about writing a post to address that so might as well do some of that now. Hygiene: For water, I started off with the 12 gallon water tank in the bed that has a pump to a faucet in the back. I also had a propane heater so I could heat the water for a shower...

Thanks! Your build is looking great.

Back to the journey! After landing and fixing the wiring on the truck, I saw a post that the Mt Hood area could receive up to 16” of fresh snow in the next 24 hours. Umm yeah! So I turned the truck south and made my way in that direction. I wasn't sure where I would head, but figured...

Vacation! After my wheeling adventures I wasn’t exactly sure of my plans so I hung around in the area. I was debating on heading northwest around the Olympics or swinging out to the coast and going south, saving the Olympic National Park for next time. Then I got a last second invite to...

Trail Time I finally got back out on the trails for the first time since Morrison Trail. At least the first time with another rig. I joined up with another contributor to Trailsoffroad.com who was planning a run near Mt Ranier. I met up with the group at the location, and there were a lot...

Back to civilization… for a minute. After doing a lot of climbing and spending a bunch of time in the Vancouver, British Columbia area, I decided it was time to head south since there was a lot to see and the winter was coming soon. I crossed back into the US later in the evening to...

Thanks! I'm working on updates as we speak! I've mostly used the phone on auto and wide screen but I'm starting to put it in full manual mode more often to get even better pics. I'm east of Mt Hood... found a nice wide corner to call my office for now. Might camp here since it'll make for...

Thanks. Just figured it might get one or two more people to do it every time they go out... I drove into a nice camp spot at night and woke up to shotgun shells, rope, plastic bottles, etc which made me think about trying to get others to help.

Win a Cairn Box! Should've done this earlier in the season, but better late than never. Lets get trails cleaned up before the snow gets here this season and covers up the garbage. What: Over the next three weekends, when you are on the trails, hiking, biking, offroading, climbing, etc, pick...

Awesome, that works!

But did anyone bring donuts? Another great day of climbing in the books. Yesterday we rappelled down to the water of Howe Sound which was speckled with jellyfish and climbed back up, pretty neat. 4 climbs today in the second half of the day followed by a campfire and good company.

When it was time to take a little break from climbing, I rented a mountain bike to tear up some trails. I should've taken a hint when the rental guy said “there's really no flowy trails around here”. It was a rough day of hike-a-bike on mostly technical trails. I connected a ton...

After a couple weeks in Alaska, most of that being overcast and rainy, I wanted to get back to seeing the sunshine. There was an “early fall storm” scheduled to arrive that had the 10-day forecast with nothing but rain. With that in mind, I was ready to leave a few destinations...

I am already in the Vancouver area, just looked up Stewart and that was pretty close to where I drove. Wish i would've swung by but I guess I'll have stuff to do next time! I was just in the drive mode since I didn't have anything already marked on the route. I also had pretty much zero cell...

Not that I notice... I try to keep it and myself pretty clean unlike the outside of the truck. The bedding is regularly washed.

I know they are plenty supported by this trip... Since Tesla didn't want to lend me anything. But I wasn't about to schedule in advance (didn't know about until I heard someone talking about it) and pay them to drive me a few minutes...I was close enough!

Alaska in the Fall, Part II I made my way south wanting to catch a mountain bike event at a ski resort, but when I arrived, it was pretty obvious that it must have been cancelled or something as there were only a few people riding. Along the roadway there was a salmon viewing area where you...

Alaska in the Fall After getting back into Fairbanks from Deadhorse, the weather continued to be cold and wet. I finished some errands and headed west towards Denali. I stopped at a few small towns along the way before making it to Denali. As I got close, I could barely see the mountains...
