From a current teardrop owner: One factor to consider is that you’re planning for the space and comfort of FOUR people, rather than one or two. Teardrop and other small trailers are really only designed to house two adults. Adding a rooftop tent to increase living space is costly, adds a lot of...

Oops, my mistake! I meant the one near Corbin, Kentucky.

@Grlea, as a former resident of Tennessee, have you visited Cumberland Falls? Were you able to see the moonbow? I’m considering a quick trip down there in May; any suggestions for things to do/see in the area are welcome and appreciated!

When you’re traveling will factor into the equation, as winter conditions may limit access to wilderness areas and what commercial sites are open. Yeah, the east coast and Midwest are both sparse on public lands. In addition to the previously named apps, add Campendium/Roadtrippers to the list...

1. UT-261, aka the Moki Dugway 2. Buckskin Gulch, AZ. You can drive to the Wire Pass Trailhead, but the slot canyon is a hike only.

Hello and welcome! It’s nice to see a fellow Mid-Atlantic overlander join the forums. As @Ethan N stated, Old Rag Mountain is a local favorite. If you plan to do the hike, please note that a day use ticket is now required from March 1-November 30. Wolf Gap Campground (GWNF) is a nice spot to...

Not a Jeeper…But I just put Falken WildPeak AT3W’s on my 4Runner a few weeks ago. I previously had Nitto Ridge Grapplers, LT285/70R17 C. Both are pretty quiet when new, but I think the Falkens seem a bit smoother on the highway. My decision to change was based on the [allegedly] better handling...

1. All of the above, I’m exploring to experience nature and history. Some ideas come from reading about a place, others from speaking with people. A chance conversation lit the spark for a two week trip to Peru, including the Inca Trail trek. Did you know that there’s a Rambo First Blood...

1. Read the vehicle reservation requirements on the NPS website. More relaxed than 2023, but still in effect. 2. The GTTSR may not be fully open, depending on the dates of your visit, the amount of spring snow and how quickly that snow and/or the Big Drift is cleared. You can monitor the Snotel...

New tires for new adventures: Falken Wildpeak A/T3W - smooth and quiet!

I really appreciate all that you and Corrie have done in bringing together the overlanding community, not only in North America, but across the globe. If you’re planning to spend more time on the trail this year, have you considered meeting up with and interviewing members along the way? It...

Banff and Mt. Rainier have been added to the summer itinerary. It was a bit freaky being #10668 in the Parks Canada reservation system queue, but I scored a decent campsite. Whew!

Summer camping in Rocky Mountain & Glacier National Parks is booked! Heres hoping that I’m as successful with the Parks Canada reservation system.

My thought was to have a casual meet up so we can get to know one another and discuss possible excursions. I prefer to get acquainted with people before traveling and/or camping with them. Prevents bloodshed, lol.

Hmmm, was Donner Pass on your itinerary? There’s your sign.

Oh, man, you just described a week of my trip last summer. Same person got all excited when she heard I’m going to Glacier and (hopefully) the Canadian Rockies this year. Nope, nyet and never again!

I’d also like to mention that even if you travel alone, there are numerous opportunities to socialize with other travelers. I’ve met some amazing and interesting people, some have become lasting friendships.

Now that we’ve survived the holidays, is anyone interested in a Maryland (or DMV) meetup? I suggest a weekend lunch/brunch, somewhere central like Frederick or Columbia. Ideas? Suggestions? Bueller?

Beautiful photos!

Mostly alone. I tend to be physically active all day, up to 10 hours on trail, scrambling uncharted routes or pausing for several hours to observe and photograph animals. I spend very little time lounging around camp, which is the preference of many travelers. When people visit, I’m fine with...
