    Northward through Virginia

    This section was still using the MABDR as our guide. I did pass a couple sections due to the unknowns and the 'click' I picked up in the steering. It wasn't worsening yet still there if we bumped along a trail.. Again, we ran this solo so caution ruled. [tube]

    Parts of the MABDR

    Continuing north through the Mid-Atlantic! We jumped on and off the MABDR depending on what we saw of road/trail condition. I picked up a 'click' in the steering which turned out to be the steering shaft (easy replacement) so I was being extra cautious. We found what I call a small Canyon on...

    Parts of the MABDR

    Established, as in NF's... Yes. There is dispersed if you look a bit. I love the National Forest CG's, clean , quiet and sometimes flush toilets! I do go for ones a little more off the beaten path though. Safe Travels!

    NYE anyone?

    Well, Grand Isle State Park has been taken over by Local & Federal services to give the locals housing and supplies. All reservations have been canceled up till late April '22. Back to searching again... May have to wait till after NYE to begin the journey.. bummer..

    NYE anyone?

    We're heading out of the Nor'east (USA) to do a unique NYE to start the new year adventure off with some style. We're headed into the bayou of Louisiana and staying at Grand Isle State Park. They plan to be open again well before.. We'll be there a few nights prior and a couple days after and...

    I do find glitches in Gaia, yet not really that many to move me away. I typically can route around from what data I have and just visual. I think this happens to all us with any software. I have posted to Gaia where I found weirdness and I see they added some of this info. The other way is to...

    Covering 343 miles, 5 state forests and 4 Purple Lizard maps...mostly dirt

    Nice work and if I understand it's a route 'in progress' of exploring. I will ask, because I'm interested, is to the rating of trails. We travel mostly solo on Byways (love dirt) and have taken caution towards extremes, being we're traveling.. Please do rate these, as best you can for those like...

    Parts of the MABDR

    As we turned the corner and headed back north, homeward, we used the MABDR as the route guide. I knew there would be sections I would pass on, as we are traveling solo, yet so much of it was very doable. This is only the 1st portion I've posted and it starts about 4 minted in. I found the most...

    Well, I'm also one of those that you need to actually have it 'up & running' better than for me to switch and offer it at much better pricing. The features you speak of exist elsewhere, others I have elsewhere some I see as not doing much good 'cell based' in the field. Brings me back to...

    You're telling OB1 has 'all' the layers Gaia has now? It just won't track?

    Are going to bring... You know how many proposals I have sat in on that have said this? It's not what can, i's what is! Is this already something I should invest in? OB1 is a baby hoping to grow... sorry.. not seeing any of my money investing accordingly. At least not yet... Show me what you...

    Would like to think so. Yet how? How does OB1 do better than Gaia for Overlanding? Then what regions does OB1 work on? Reality is OB1 is a concept not yet working... Gaia is on this and other adventures. Do I really want an exclusive app to only Overlanding? Do I want to have several apps for...

    That's the point... It's trying to catch up to the BIG Boys that are already there.. It's a saturated field that others already have domain on. What is OB bringing to the table that others can not bring? Answer that and I (as well as many others) may consider! Jim, you can't just say I like it...

    Gaia is bit mainly for Overlanding... I don't get what you're saying.. Maybe the free version doesn't allow 'all' the layers available and you're just not seeing what's there. When you break down all the layers and start using... not much left to wonder about as you overland. Like I say, not...

    Media Thread: Where did you go this summer?

    Take the slow drive there and see so much more! I loved what I saw!

    The OB app being prompted is an uphill battle I doubt they can make. Far to much competition that has been 'in the game' much longer. They'd have to come in at a price like Gaia was originally and I really doubt that will happen. They also need us to help with mapping and since most of us are...

    Big Gaia fan, though not liking their new pricing.. I will look into something else when the time comes.

    Will love to see where you go with this! Me.. I'd have the hardest time not cutting off the top and making a pop top out of it.
