Day 3: Shores of Lake Michigan, Pentwater We had beautiful camping weather again. The days were warm but the nights fresh and breezy. We ended up camping on a small ridge with waist-high ferns surrounding us and covering the shallow valleys around us. The night before kids set up hammocks and...

Day 2: Yellow Springs, OH - outside Pentwater, MI It was nice to ease our way into life on the road: bathrooms, picnic tables, lots of services and stores within a minutes drive, a raccoon that crawled into our truck, opened a storage bin and stole some of our food. The girls had stayed up late...

Well, I'm two major trips behind at this point. Maybe I should start a new thread but I like the idea of leaving this one as my travel journal. A few nights ago, my son, now 13, was reading about our first trip across the country and couldn't remember many of the details. I was surprised and...

I have a frontrunner featherlite in good used condition for less than you want to spend. Great tent for two people or two and wee little one. It's used and price reflects that. I moved to a trailer and was able to do a larger tent for the family. Pm me

Eric Schatz bakery, hit the hot springs outside of Bishop. Go see the boulders called the Buttermilks. And then YOSEMITE.

A few of the photos from the mountains: Benasque to Tossa del Mar on the Mediterranean was quite an adventure. With two different students as route designators we weaved our way along gravel and backroads. What could have taken an six hours by highway turned into a two half days of...

Leaving Montserrat with an Alpine start so that we wouldn't have to pay for another day of parking we traveled Northeast to a small town at the end of a long road, Rodellar. We made sure to soak in as much culture as we could stopping often in small towns along the way. In Rodellar we...

We left Barcelona with a short two hour drive to Montserrat, a pretty well known tourist site due to its monastery and less well known climbing area. The rode in was beautiful and fun to drive even with well-laden cars. There was a great campsite a short walk up from the monastery and we...

June 2015: Spain - climbing trip with school Barcelona - Monserrat - Rodellar - Benas - Tossa del Mar - Barcelona Though different from most trips on the portal, we did travel overland and the guys I went with were game for staying off main roads and making the transit between areas as much of...

Day 1153: Heading back out in three weeks!!!! Well, back in '12 we did make it home and much to my embarrassment I never actually completed this report. Jon's emergency help with the wheel bearings lasted until this year when I finally rebuilt the front end with new hub assemblies. One week...

Old Thread but useful information: I have one and have logged well over 100 nights all over the US in all weather conditions over three years. Advantages: -lightweight Other than that I have no experience with other RTTs and can't give a good comparison...

I used one of these for 57 days on a TAT trip. It was great, still is great and can be used for so many other things. In the high western temps and opening it a lot we would need ice every two/three days pushing it. http://engel-coolers.com/product/engel-30-qt-coolerdry-box/

I was in Black Dragon Canyon on our very similar trip last year (with 1, 4 and 6 year old children in tow). Though we did some harder trails/roads in Colorado and Nevada that was the only place we did damage to our vehicle and it will be interesting to see if they can get through without...

Yes, this is great. Following closely. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Still there. http://ramblewriter.com/

I used a super siphon off a ebay for $12 shipped. Used it transfer fuel from nato cans straight into tank filler using an extension. Practice in water first but they work really well.

More! Arkansas? Where and how did this happen? Did you drive out?

Wow. What awesome scenery. Amazing how such landscape makes man seem small. Thanks for sharing the journey. -jesse

Yep, this is great! Is there any way to know where you are? You guys probably passed right through my backyard. If you ever need/want company maybe a spotwalla page or something would help people know about where you are. Happy adventures -jesse
