I‘d let mine down at Shaw’s Difficult Crossing a few days earlier, but even then, every eastbound cordon was hard won, with the aid of hand held radios, foot recces and passengers strung out as markers to guide the white-knuckle driving around the soft spots. After an exhausting day...
Camp ground after camp ground along the headwaters and all spots are occupied with trailers, RVs and blaze orange tents or worse, big “reserved site” signs. Since when do they take reservations here!! Oh my hell, it’s the middle of the week, don’t these people have jobs??!! The ...
But travel lightly and carefully. The lakebed hides certain dangers like difficult-to-suss wet spots riven with sucking mud and large stones, the likes of which might have upended the North American Eagle on its last ride. The faster you go, the more the horizon seems paradoxically to run ...

Dark Sky Preserves and parks are prime spots for stargazing, ensuring the night remains pristine. Use Low-Impact Lighting: Use red or low-lumen lighting when setting up camp. It’s less harsh on the eyes and doesn’t contribute to light pollution. Avoid bright floodlights and opt for ...
I recently hauled the 2021 Taxa Outdoors TigerMoth Overland trailer more than 4,000 miles from Colorado’s Elk Mountains to Navajo Nation and Lake Powell, followed by a Pacific Northwest tour. My partner and I linked up ski mountaineering, ocean surfing, and river surf spots in Washington, Mo...
