    3 Years Around North America, Plus a Few More

    Just came home from a visit to my mum's out in Gila. Glad you guys are enoying that small piece of paradise. The University has some good museums and displays, but may be closed for the holiday. Oh, the little coffee shop on the corner of Yankee and Texas St's downtown called Tranquil Buzz...

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    :smiley_drive::truck: I'm getting in town fever pretty bad and need to get me out for an adventure soon! As I'm sure you can relate, the extra space and capability of a full size rig just offers... more. I'd take her anywhere my friends Rubicon Jeep would go, and probably a few places that he...

    HOW DID YOU SET UP YOUR TRUCK CAP / CAMPER ?

    I am brave and brash, but not stupid. This helps me return home safe, but certainly makes my trip reports less interesting :p I want to make some sort of platform with some basic storage, but I use this truck for all sorts of things when I'm not boondocking/adventuring. If I can find some...

    HOW DID YOU SET UP YOUR TRUCK CAP / CAMPER ?

    A bunch of 8' 2x4's that have carpet on one side are slid in and out of the bed as needed. I put a futon and a memory foam on top of that and cover it with 2-3 blankets and copious pillows and it fits myself, the better half and our dog. We are basic, if not minimalist, packers and take a...

    Lol, I realize that is the second time I've offered refuge in the SW of New Mexico. Apologies for the lack of attention. The offer - still stands.

    3 Years Around North America, Plus a Few More

    Was really cool to hear about your travels around Silver City, NM and the Gila NF. Having spent some 20 years or so in and out of Silver City (we have land on the Gila still) the town always strikes me as a sad sight on a beautiful backdrop. It gets exceptionally cold because of the winds that...

    Ouray to Telluride over Black Bear Pass

    The picture links are just small enough to show us that there was some awesome larger sizes behind them! That area looks amazing... well traveled and fun. Thanks for the report!

    Made the first 2 sections of the Plumas BDT last weekend in the rig. We have officially christened the truck and she now stands as ՈOV Serenity. That reads as Ոnorthodox Overland Vehicle Serenity, named after the firefly class starship that shares its namesake with sci fit feature...
