April 14, 15, 2018. A couple hours after falling asleep just north of Saline Valley Warm Springs, I was awoken by what I initially thought was a gunshot in my dream. But, with the valley still echoing, I soon realized it was no dream. Unsure what was going on, I looked back towards the...

Part 3 - April 19-20, 2018. A couple hours after falling asleep just north of Saline Valley Warm Springs, I was awoken by what I initially thought was a gunshot in my dream. But, with the valley still echoing, I soon realized it was no dream. Read about the excitement as well as my trip...

You should, for sure. Beautiful place!

April 13, 2018. Having hit the sack relatively early (a drawback of being solo and not chatting into the evening around a fire), I was well-rested as I awoke to catch the sun chasing the moon on the eastern horizon. One of my favorite times of day, I climbed out of the tent and sent a mental...

Part 2 - April 18, 2018. Check engine light still on, I pushed forward. Covering a lot of ground, I saw things I'd never seen before, even on routes I'd traveled in the past. Check it all out in Back to Death Valley - Day 3 - A True Oasis

Having had an amazing time in Death Valley earlier in the year, I couldn't wait to get back. Of course, I had no idea what was in store on this completely solo trip! A Struggle from the Start April 11-12, 2018. If our first trip to Death Valley taught us anything, it was that our adventures...

********. ********. I mean, I had a hole in my headliner at this point. How can I recover? (without buying a new, $700 headliner) I set everything aside, remembering something that Eric @RelentlessFab said when I was there - "Slower is faster." - and I figured that slowing down and thinking things...

Open Sesame - Adding a Garage Door Opener to the Headliner April 2, 2018. A while back, I somehow stumbled on @jberry813's post where he installed a garage door opener in his headliner (Homelink in a 1st gen) near the map lights. Having the same issues - a garage door remote that floats around...

Nice, you'll love DV, I'm sure. Just make sure to hit it in the winter/early spring so it's no so dang hot! :)

My U-joint was Toast! March 28, 2018. Our trip to The Maze was awesome. However, you may recall that near the end, we hit a whoops a little fast, which led to me peering under the truck a few times on the way home to try and determine what the god-awful shake was that we were feeling in the...

March 18, 2018. To say it was one of the more blustery nights we've spent in the tent would be an understatement. Perched on the edge of the canyon wall, the rain fly was getting whipped around, and the tent was acting like a sail in the bed of the truck - shaking the entire truck to and fro...

The Maze, Day 3: Are We Stuck in The Maze? March 18, 2018. To say it was one of the more blustery nights we've spent in the tent would be an understatement. Perched on the edge of the canyon wall, the rain fly was getting whipped around, and the tent was acting like a sail in the bed of the...

March 17, 2018. Our night at the Doll House was the calmest of the trip. We all slept soundly and though we each awoke a different times, we all experienced a beautiful morning. Having nearly missed the orange horizon the morning before, I refrained from hitting the snooze button on my alarm...

The Maze, Day 2: "I Really Like Your Rear End" March 17, 2018. Our night at the Doll House was the calmest of the trip. We all slept soundly and though we each awoke a different times, we all experienced a beautiful morning. Having nearly missed the orange horizon the morning before, I...

Thanks, appreciate the kudos! You'll have a great time in the Maze - might be a bit warm, but it's such an amazing place; can't wait to go back.

The Maze, Canyonlands (Mar 2018) ...Even as we started into the canyon, the sights were amazing. It was @mrs.turbodb's first time in Utah (off-road), and she's a geology nut, so she was soaking it all in. Read the full story and see all the pics: The Maze, Canyonlands, Day 1 Read the full...

March 15, 2018. Day 0. As we pulled out of the parking lot in Idaho Falls, we were already late. See, the plan had been to show up at @CBI OFFROAD FAB when they opened at 8:00am, and have the new bumper install done by 10:00am so we'd have our choice of routes down to Hanksville, UT where we...

The next morning (March 15) we were up around 7:00am to eat a quick bowl of cereal and head over to CBI when they opened at 8:00am. It was still cold (about 30°F) but the snow had stopped and I'd we were both excited. We headed in and took a look around as the good folks at CBI pulled the...

So, on the morning of March 14, we got @mini.turbodb off to school and @mrs.turbodb and I headed out across Washington, Oregon, and Idaho - intent on camping about 30 minutes from CBI, so we could show up when they opened the next morning to pick up and install the Outback 1.0 rear bumper. As...
