Day 4
Friday morning we hitched an Uber to town to grab a proper shower, a big pancake breakfast at IHOP, and some groceries to fill in our pantries. All were needed.
Expo West-17
Each day we had plenty of opportunities to get out and see all there was to see at the Expo. The weather was...
Continuing on we made the final push into Flagstaff. We met up with the all the ATSR guys on the outskirts of town at a car wash to clean up rigs. From there we convoyed all 4 rigs into the ExPo grounds. Check in was quick and painless and then we made our way to our booth site which would be...
Our next stop was to check out the Dinosaur tracks attraction just before the intersection of 160/89. We had read beforehand that this stop is typically a must do, especially if you have kids in tow. Take the ‘facts’ that are presented here with a grain of salt as not all are true. Guides...
Exiting out the south end of the wash put us onto hwy 163 where we made our way into Mexican Hat for lunch and to top off the water tank in the rig. Lunch was a Navaho Taco at the Olde Bridge Grill Café overlooking the San Juan River.
From there it was on to the Monument Valley Navajo...
Day 3.
Thursday was our day to make the final push into Flagstaff. We needed to be there before registration closed and meet up with the other ATSR guys to get rigs cleaned up and presentable for the ExPo.
After breakfast and breaking down camp, we started working our way south through the...
Day 2
We awoke to a light rain, fixed coffee, and a cold cereal breakfast so we could get back on the road again. Since we had gotten in so late we had a look around for a bit and took a few shots of camp before we left.
The obligatory stops at the CO and UT border signs.
The drive into Moab...
Day 1
Bags packed and ready to roll, we awoke early and took our shuttle to the airport. By lunch we were landing in Denver, CO and were promptly picked up by a Lyft driver who took us to the warehouse where the rigs are stored. Gaylord was putting some finishing touches on a Landcruiser 60...
So this trip report is coming up a year overdue. :eek: Last year we had an opportunity to meet back up with our friends at Adventure Travel Sports Rentals based in Golden, CO for another family trip in the rental Sportsmobile. We took a similar trip back in 2015 and fell in love with this van...
Pre-hole'ing (new word there) the canopy cover doesn't make sense considering all the different mounting hole options there are in the mounting channel. One person may need the forward most set of holes and another may need the rear most set. Each application is going to be different and they...
Looks like any of the Freespirit Recreation tents that don't have a permanently mounted ladder have one of these clip on telescoping ladders. I imagine that contacting FSR directly could order you one.

That's a nice setup. I was going to suggest a Blue Ridge Overland Gear cooking bag attached to that grid and then attach the spices with velcro strips but it looks like the metal tins idea worked out great.
Depending on where you live/travel and how often you go through them, those oils may...
Knocked this one out the other weekend. I'm still not 100% sure what the 'trash' ended up being but bottom line is I took a small stainless steel wire brush to the burner making sure all the holes were open and soot were gone and also used some compressed air to blow everything out really good...
Would having the stove fitting exit out the back of the stove work or do you specifically want the hose out the side and then angle rearward? I ask this cause you might could relocate the bracket inside the stove (grind the weld for the bracket) and exit it where you wish. The copper tubing...
I would agree but I think in Dan's case above and the travels he's doing with that rig, being able to (or forced to) stay in one spot and not crank for days in the remote wilds of Africa would still facilitate solar. I imagine his use is pretty low with fridge, pump, charging, and lights for...
I use the same one for the same reasons you mentioned. I used to use a GSI drip but hated the pour and it required a separate pot for the water heating.
I like the Stanley but I find that the seal of the press gets bound up sometimes. It's either easy to push with no 'blowby' or it's a...
