Trek Leg 3: Pinyon Mountain Drop-off to Fish Creek & Sandstone Canyon. The trail is the most dramatic and difficult gateway into Anza-Borrego Desert and the incredible drive into Sandstone Canyon. Looking for a more technical route into Fish Creek and Sandstone Canyon, the Pinyon Mountain...

Leg 5 Detailed Scout Report Preview It is always great to receive support from readers, it keeps me going - Thanks. While working on the Anza-Borrego Expedition reports, and in particular the Great Southern Overland Stagecoach Road, I was drawn deeper and deeper into the compelling story behind...

Trek Leg 2: The Great Southern Butterfield Stage Route & Diablo Drop-off. Since we did not have time to explore the dirt sections of the Great Southern Overland Trail, we doubled back from Blair Valley, and just past Sweeny Pass, started Leg 2 by taking Canyon Sin Nombre a really nice...

Let us know what you liked best during your trek.

Thanks for the letting me know the food stuff is noticed and the suggestion for recipes. Will have to look for ways to blend that in Chris. And thanks for sharing our site with friends - greatly appreciated.

American Expedition Vehicles has some really great parts to beef up your Dodge, if you add them slowly your wife might not even noticed. You would be amazed where that puppy could go.

Thanks Ward. I must say, finding all the interesting stories behind these trails is the most rewarding - well other than acually retracing them.

Sounds like this is not your typical 2x van, and I’m assuming you have sufficient clearance. Trails rated Easy on our site, in many cases, could be traveled by a properly equipped/powered 2x. There are some sections that could cause a 2x trouble, but a driver that has experience with choosing a...

Trek Leg 1: Prehistoric Oasis, Goat Canyon Trestle & The Great Overland Stage Road. Two generations of his family had served Spain in Mexico by the time Juan Bautista de Anza joined military service at 18 years of age. His father had died in an Apache attack before he could fulfill his desire...

Over 500 miles of 4WD roads and 100 miles of hiking/biking trails provide remote access into the largest desert state park in the US; badlands, sandstone canyons, palm tree oasis with trails ranging from easy-going sandstone canyon washes to narrow articulation-testing trenches, steep hill...

Leg 7: Chiricahua Hoodoo “Hands Pass” Backdoor Trail This special place is even more rewarding for overlanders when combined with “Hands Pass", a little known and used historical back door mining trail from Chiricahua National Monument Hoodoos; home to a massive collection of spires and...

Leg 9: Sandon Ghost Town & The Trails of Idaho Peak It is easy to get lured to into spending several days exploring the trails in and around the heart of the Silvery Slocan, the ghost town of Sandon. This is particularly true if you enjoy regions with a colourful storied past. For me...

Dan, trying to make it a profession, as I enter semi-retirement, by learning to do my own photography, creative layout and writing - something I observed working in marketing research most of my career. Thirty years ago, I started researching forgotten overland trails with a interesting past...

Just got back from a trip to US, that got cut short when someone offered to buy our flagship expedition vehicle. This will give me a chance to post more scouting reports on OverlandFrontier.com from expeditions we have completed but not fully documented. Will be posting alerts on our Facebook...

So good to hear we are heading in a direction that some Overlanders like. Thanks Tim.

Hey Ward, hope your enjoying your Habitat as much as I have. We need to meet up in BC some time, once new Habitat is done. Regards.

Appreciate that, I'm afraid Reco will be hard to replace.
