    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure

    With our bellies full from burritos, our little buddy heater glowing and the moon lighting up the night we crawled into bed for a great night's sleep. The next morning was crisp and clear and signaled another gorgeous day in Utah. By the end of the day, we'll have had our second big...

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure

    Looking at the GPS and even on google maps the trail looks extremely simple. Just a few switchbacks and a little elevation climb. Wrong. The trail starts off with an immediate steep climb on a narrow trail with a few very tight switchbacks. My wife was starting to feel a little nervous with the...

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure

    After a bit of driving up and down through the mountains we start to gain some elevation. Almost without warning we cross the top of the mountains and the views opened up. It's stunning! I believe it was at this point that my wife looked over and thanked me for convincing her to take the two...

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure Part 2: Utah Bound Las Vegas was a pretty cool place to visit, but after two days the wife and I were ready to hit the trail. We were feeling a little more confident in the truck after dropping it off at Rogue Offroad for a couple days. They...

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure

    Our campsite at Mather Campground was actually quite nice for a campground. We had plenty of room and didn't feel packed in like sardines. When I woke up, toasty warm thanks to our little buddy heater, it was starting to flurry a bit. I took some pictures around our campsite and crawled back...

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure Part 1: RoadTrippin' Well, we are back and I now have an excuse to put a down payment on a GFC Camper! But more on that later. I love camping and long road trips, but I don't enjoy doing them solo. My wife has always been hesitant to join me on some...

    RTT Expedition Trailer V2.0

    It's worked great! I keep a coating of oil on the slides and once a year I'll sand them down to get the surface rust off. But it's never been a problem.

    Soggy Night In North Carolina

    A couple weeks ago I made a spur of the moment decision to drive up to the edge of North Carolina from my home town of Chattanooga TN for a single night of camping. It was about a 3.5 hour drive to the site but I managed to get there before the sun went down. I found this campsite a little...

    Camping & Trail Riding at Cheaha WMA

    It's been a long time since I've posted a report on here! I hope that will be changing soon. Since my last post I've sold my jeep, picked up a 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro, and am trying my hand at vlogging our adventures. Cheaha Mountain is the highest point in Alabama. It's surrounded by the...

    RTT Expedition Trailer V2.0

    It's been a long time since I've updated this! Still using the trailer when the weather is nice. Last night was the first time to pull it out this year. The jeep is gone, but I picked up a 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro to replace it.
