In October, Overland Bound Executive Director, Kent Reynolds hosted a Trail Guardian event at the Mojave National Preserve. On a cool fall morning, 53 Overland Bound member volunteers from California and Nevada joined representatives from the National Park Service and Mojave Desert Land Trust to help with projects at the southeastern California Preserve. By the time members headed home from the weekend, they had logged 650 volunteer hours.
Don’t wait to chip away at this bucket list of overland destinations in the western US. Life’s short and this is only the first list of many recommendations coming your way.
When we left them in Part 1, the Van Stralen family was feeling good after traversing what was left of an avalanche in the British Columbia backcountry. Now things start to get really good/bad. Lots of winching, tons of recovery gear, ample good spirits.
The Van Stralen family headed north after their travels through New Mexico right before the Canadian border closed in response to COVID-19. They crossed, quarantined, and then got back in their Jeeps to begin a snowy adventure that didn’t go quite as planned.

Summer is upon us in the northern hemisphere. We are days away from the official start of summertime, and what better time than NOW to cue up and plan for your next adventure outdoors?
This week we had the privilege of camping on the beach at the Padre Island National Seashore.
This is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world and is found on the west shore of the Gulf of Mexico in the great state of Texas.
The trail rating was “moderate to difficult” but the weather had taken a turn for the worse and the track we were driving on a cold afternoon was anything but moderate. It was tough going. Tough enough that the Defender 130 needed low range and diff lock to conquer some of the steeper, muddy switchbacks as we climbed the Rif mountain range (the origin of almost all Moroccan hashish) into the clouds.
You probably know the van Stralen family from adventures on their YouTube channel: Epic Family Road Trip. If you don’t, you should. In 2015, the van Stralens embarked on an EPIC family road trip around the world. Most recently, they spent some time in Big Bend National Park in Texas.
