    FIDO Expeditions 2016

    High Altitude Camping The scenery in this area was stunning, and as far as I could tell we were the only people in the whole mountain range! We continued on along the ridgeline before taking a small side road in search of camping. We ended up finding a lovely spot at an old abandoned...

    FIDO Expeditions 2016

    The Gravelly Range While hanging around the campfire I had been perusing the Delorme Montana Mapbook to plot our course ahead. There was a tantalizingly long dirt road route going up through the Gravelly Range and on to the ruby river basin so we decided to head that way. Before we left the...

    Ashton Through the marvels of modern technology(IE Facebook) I had become reacquainted with a friend I had known in high school but hadn't seen in over 20 years. He lives in Ashton Idaho so we decided to make a paved detour over to see him. The back side of the Teton Range is interesting...

    Container vs RoRo

    RORO There are plenty of horror stories of RoRo misadventures. Vehicles are frequently broken into by the crew. Also your vehicle is subject to significant salt exposure if not in a container. I wouldn't consider it myself.... Allan

    Diving in Head First!

    What would I change? Well, I wouldn't really change much. I am very happy overall. But saying this is the right vehicle for me doesn't mean it would work for everyone. For example, it doesn't bother me to be held back by slow freeway speeds because I have lots of time and am not in a...

    Diving in Head First!

    Specs on the box In answer to the question about the box specifications: My truck is short wheelbase. The box is 12' long and 7' wide. It is pushing the limits of length that is viable for the short wheelbase. If you have a long wheelbase truck this size would still be nice as it would...

    FIDO Expeditions 2016

    Tipsy... The next morning we parted ways with Bill and Jaimee and headed north. It was sad to see them in our rearview but the excitement of what was to come made it all ok. The plan was to head north and join up with forest road 10138 which would take us all the way to Alpine on the dirt...

    Baja 2400. Utah -> Baja Norte and back.

    Nice trip! Looks like a good time! I was on the verge of going down there for winter but decided to get a ski pass instead. It has actually snowed this year so not regretting it thus far! Take care, Allan

    Wyoming We headed East down the mountain towards Bear Lake. It was a lovely gravel road with panoramic views of the lake. The morning was clear and sunny and life was good. We stopped at the Gas Station at the south end of the lake to top up before heading East towards the state line. We...

    FIDO Expeditions 2016

    After a short Hiatus We stopped home to resupply and prepare for the second leg of our journey. The plan was to head up to Calgary before exploring the Icefields Parkway followed by Vancouver and a trip down the west coast. As usual we had a rough idea of where we wanted to go but not really...
