But back to nature and all her wonders....speaking of which this little guy was trying hard to make it on the roadway and I caught myself making sure I didn't smash him...and it was a good excuse for another of those "artsy" shots. No idea what this man made object was but my baser humor sure...

As much as I love coming out to the desert there are time when I can understand how it gets closed off....just once I would like to meet up with the idiots that do this kind of damage and have a "Get out of Jail Free" card to play so I could teach a life lesson or two. Now I know I was pissed...

I was happy to find that after the boulder driving not fun of Lockhart Basin it was a fast run through the sand of Lockhart CANYON right to the Colorado river....or as close as a mess of Tamarisk will let you get these days. We found a killer campsite and enjoyed another evening of laughter...

Flex for ya here again......the 8.1L motor makes Larry's truck sound so nice crawling up this stuff...but I admit to having my eyes glued to the cab vs cabover lines :) Even on the flat there is plenty of eye candy...the way rocks fall from on high and end up in strange positions always gets...

The next morning dawned bright and sunny and no washed away Bill...just a happy man ready to hit the trail and off to Lockhart Basin we all went. Now I would like to pause a moment to say that I am NOT a rockcrawler.....I have built my Burb to handle tough stuff but my wife loves the rig as...

The recent rains had put the desert in bloom and I always enjoy the spots of color that liven up the brown out there in the wild southwest. In a great spring bloom there are areas of the desert that are carpet of colors that amaze first time visitors, this trek just had a few flowers but they...

Since the hour was late leaving Flagstaff I went for a hotel in Blanding,Utah no fun pics because...well it was Blanding. I do have a fun story about the Navajo Cowboy Tim I picked up south of Kayenta. He was one of the funniest people I have ever shared a vehicle with and my detour off 160 to...

So time to tell a little tale of a recent trip, adventure, outing or overlandy thing...whatever we are calling car camping these days :) The fun started at the 2015 S'now-verland Expo...I had to be there to teach Adv GPS Nav and thank goodness that was under cover from the snow/rain/sleet. Good...

looking forward to the rest of the story... love Baja and never had a bad trip down there

Somewhere on here I posted my workflow but it will be faster to type it again vs searching :) First figure out where you want to go and any references....forums, mag articles, rumors or alien contact Next fire up Google Earth at home....not MAPS but EARTH Then do all the searching, planning...

So this is what I currently use on my Netbook and why....thus a tablet app would have to cover these bases.. Acer 10in screen netbook...small enough to not encroach on wife space but big enough screen to see Globalsat 353 USB GPS puck, weatherproof/magnetic puck that can go outside to get best...

Oh boy do I ever want to put some thought into this... but next week as I am at work and counting the hours till I can run away for the weekend..

I love my 70 Burb, but after all the work it is really an 88 Burb with a 70 Body :) TBI, 700r4, axles and so much more Build here, pics at first I need to redo but plenty of info here on Expo and 67-72...and they talk about the newer rigs also...

Me too me too gps tracks, waypoints, notes anything to help me find all this cool stuff

Cool I would also like to read more so thanks for the info

amazingly cool trip and huge thanks for giving me ANOTHER place to go in the Mojave... As much as I try to stay out of California I keep finding these reasons to come by from Arizona

great write up and perspective Always nice to have more panelist to talk about what works for them

Don't you love how a hard deadline like Expo gives you such quality time with your rig? :) I just want to play with my toys....working on them is not near as much fun!!!

Ah what a most excellent cigar lighter this would make... Or way to send nice stogies to far away friends.. Very kind of you to offer, accepting Dinar in bundles I assume, yes? Much thanks, Bearded Breathern of the Sands

We will have this fun machine at the Overland Expo this weekend if anyone wants to see it in person or better yet, buy and ride at the event :)
