Driving down Ophir Pass, Co. July 2019. A FJ Cruiser forum member met me at the top of Ophir Pass. We talked for a bit and I asked him if I could put my gopro on his windshield while we went down. He said yes. I put it on his FJ Cruiser and we started our trip downhill.

And this is another video from the same road trip. Driving down Black Bear Pass in Colorado. July 2019.

It has been really a few months since the end of this trip but I finally just got around to making a video from the road trip. I will actually end up making more than 1 video and will upload here. I still have some offroad footage I could make videos from. Here is a summary video from the whole...

Oh yes, you still owe us that steak you promised. I was looking forward to it. But even though we did not get the steak, it was such a pleasure meeting you, wife and kids. The icecream was awesome too. 2017 has been my best road trip and vacation ever. I don't know if I will ever top that for...

Nice to see you again! Thanks for the tip about the gas tracking app. It would have been great for me to have such an app. I see you spent $958 in gas to drive 2,980 miles averaging 11.4 miles per gallon. I think I was averaging about that or a bit more. That means if I was logging my info...

TRIP REPORT IN FIGURES: Length of road trip: 20 days Miles driven: 6,147 miles Cost of gas: Approximately $1,500. I think it may be more or less, I need to really figure this out and confirm this number. Cost of hotels for 19 nights: Approximately $1,500. This is quite precise. Cost of food...

Starting odometer and ending odometer after my trip. So, I drove 6,147 miles on this my 20 days road trip. As for gas, I need to figure it out, but I put some very heavy 35s Yokohama mud tires on my suv which comes with 33s stock tires that are quite lighter. The heavy tires truly affected my...

I believe that on the forums we all learn everyday. So, it is very ok that you pointed that out. We all learn from each other on here, so I truly do not mind you pointing that out at all. Besides, I truly appreciate you reading my trip report and commenting contributing by posting. It makes it...

Glad to know you have enjoyed reading my trip report. It is good to know you have gotten some ideas from mine and will do a similar road trip. Moab is a great destination. Definitely add it on your itinerary if you are going to Ouray also. Thanks for pointing out about the link to my 2018 trip...

Thanks for the compliment. It is truly nice to know that people do take time out of their busy schedule to read one's trip report. It makes it worthwhile sharing. Lol, but you know I have to disagree about coasting in neutral that it hurts the engine and tranny. In Europe, before cars were...

Left Phoenix this morning on my way back home. Stopped at a gas station now to eat and take a break. Planning to sleep in Las Cruces and will leave first thing tomorrow for 12 hours drive home format do 9 hours and spend the night in San Antonio. Pretty relaxing drive so far. Enjoying being on...

Bell Rock and Court house Butte Cathedral Rock Chapel of the Holy Cross Best place I stayed at on this trip. Bought a memorable piece of Najavo jewelry at this store on what they refer to in Sedona as Sedona's Las Vegas Strip.

I spent 2 days in Sedona and it was truly life changing. Besides the tons of foreigners I talked to, it gave me a different perspective on certain things in life. The pics below will help me remember everything very well.

This has been an amazing trip full of amazing experiences. It is amazing where a journey can take you and the kind of people you can meet along the way that can suddenly become part of your life forever or have a positive impact on your life.

Tortilla Flat. This is where paved road turns into unpaved road and this is where the road is closed and you cannot go beyond this point. It is 22 miles of dirt road from this point to Roosevelt Dam with some very tight switchbacks along the way and great scenic views. Too bad the fire made...

I didn't ask if these were real tombstones. There were about 8 in total. I took pics of these because they were funny to me. This is what I could read from each Tombstone. I hope I read it right. If wrong, feel free to please correct me. Her, cold as usual. Him, stiff atlast. Here lies...

Today was a pretty productive day as I went to do the whole of the Apache Trail. The fire has bee put put, but the 22 miles of dirt road from Tortilla Flat to Roosevelt Dam is still closed. I started from Apache Junction and stopped at all the little attractions along the way up to Tortila...

Lol, you are funny. Thanks a lot for taking the time to look at my trip report. I will definitely put up those pics. Give me before midnight tonight. I took over 100, if not 200, pictures at the park. Then I realized almost all that were of nature looks exactly the same. Then it was hard for...

Thanks a lot for the compliment about the pictures. I really try to take very good pictures, though I wish I was better at post processing like some others I see. My drone/camera setup. I use my over 2 years old Samsung S8+ and my DJI Mavic 2 Pro for my pictures. Then for videos, I use my...

In a sudden change of events, I decided to go back to Arizona. I have plans to visit the Apache Trail that I missed and also to visit Sedona. On this long drive today, I had to make time to stop at Shiprock Rock Formation in Shiprock, NM. You can barely see my SUV next to this humongous...
