Day 4 - July 30th, 2017 Camp was slow to rise Sunday morning, and after a few people had checked on him Shaun made a grand entrance as most everyone else finished up their fresh-made blueberry pancake breakfast. We broke down camp in decent time and arranged to meet at Bonnechere park’s main...

Day 3 - July 29th, 2017 I was surprised to hear how early people were up and milling about in camp, but I think the communal message the night before of the necessity of being on the road early and staying focused throughout the day resonated with the group. I struck the tent as Dani put our...

Thanks man, it was a great time... lots more to come!

Day 2: July 28th, 2017 - Cont'd Trailhawk by the Lake by 2180miles, on Flickr Topher Crossing by 2180miles, on Flickr JKUR in the Forest by 2180miles We arrived at the Black Donald Mines campground shortly after 20h00, turning countless heads as our convoy of mud-covered Jeeps and the...

Day 2 - July 28th, 2017 I can't begin to describe how much I've missed sleeping in a tent. To make things easier on Dani and I sharing the space inside the Quarter-dome 2, I purchased an Exped Synmat Duo, a niche-market sleeping pad that has two separately inflatable sleeping pads in one unit...

Small world! I saw you on Instagram, great to look through your blog and Sequoia build. Hope you had as great a time as we did.

Summary To summarize, the trip as a whole was a success. There were moments that were frustrating for everyone, issues with radio communications, the campsite parking debacle, and probably a few other things I don’t remember. In the end though we all had a great time, enjoying each others...

Thanks Vic! Only a summary post left here, but I've begun writing the longer Overland Report in that section of the forum to include both this and the continuation of our adventure across North America, if you'd like to follow along. Here's the link: Trans-Canada: North America and the Canadian...

Day 4 Camp was slow to rise Sunday morning, and after a few people had checked on him Shaun made a grand entrance as most everyone else finished up their fresh-made blueberry pancake breakfast. We broke down camp in decent time and arranged to meet at Bonnechere park's main entrance at 09h00...

Thanks! It was a great area to travel through. Hahah... Thanks for the kind words. I totally understand, lots of pride from a Title Town. We didn't make it to either of the stores by the grocers, but did make it to the Beer Store in Barry's Bay and then back to LCBO in Killaloe later that...

Day 1 - July 27th, 2017 Dani and I rolled out of the driveway with 3,924 miles on the Jeep’s odometer. An early, quiet, but focused morning led us to be packed and out the door, t’s crossed and dotted I’s, checklists as complete as humanly possible, got us out the door at 08h00. Despite both of...

Kicking off our nearly month-long trip would be the QB-5 club adventure/overlanding trip at the end of July. After a few weeks of tossing ideas around with my Jeep/Tacoma friend Rob last December, we spent a very snowy February afternoon at his kitchen table working through the GPX files and...

This summer was always set to be one with quite a bit of adventure. I founded a large Jeep Club in Massachusetts back in 2011 and on the side of our 400 members, have developed a close group of friends who have pursued overland trips as summer activities. In the summer of 2016 we planned out and...

Hey all, My name is Ryan and I just returned from a nearly month-long trip across North America to the edges of Alberta/British Columbia and back. I write an adventure blog - www.2180miles.com - and have chronicled a lot of this trip so far, but am now sitting down and going back to write more...

Day 3 I was surprised to hear how early people were up and milling about in camp, but I think the communal message the night before of the necessity of being on the road early and staying focused throughout the day resonated with the group. I struck the tent as Dani put our gear away in the...
