A fishing license, an annual Park pass and some gas. Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that the ”things” just facilitate the adventure, experiences and ultimately, treasured memories. Just sayin'

Just thought I'd share a few more of my favourite landscape shots. Landscape is my primary interest but I do sometimes dabble in other areas (astrophotography, travel portraits, wildlife and macro) #1 is Ibex Dunes in Death Valley #2 is Thor's Well on the Oregon Coast #3 is the Wanaka...

Moonrise during the blue hour from our campsite at Havasupai Point on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in 2018. The road was a bit rough getting in but there wasn't another soul for 15 miles. There just aren't words to describe that experience.

+1 on the Mavic Mini. Much more capable than it's cost would lead you to believe, and it's 249 gram weight keeps it under the limit for many of the regs. It's a blast to fly and is tiny to stow. The 25 minute flight endurance is great but go for the kit with the 3 batteries.

I, also, roll with Canon full frame gear (in my case a 6D I and ll). They're a little bit smaller and lighter than the 5D, but it's really the lenses that kill you weight-wise anyway. I have a good collection of Canon glass and agree the 24-105 f4 is a great all-around lens. It is my go-to lens...

Looking at your early post of important factors there is one that is a little down the list that jumped out at me. Reliability! It wasn't always at the top of my ”requirements” list, but it is now. We overlanded for several years in a diesel Land Rover product. Very nice vehicle in many...

First, protection against the elements THEN feed the beast. Maybe my priorities are dictated by the climate I live in (Pacific Northwest). YMMV

While towing I have a fair bit of tongue weight so move the spare to the front of the roof rack. I'd rather not have the weight so high but prefer the forward location. When wheeling unencumbered I leave the spare (full size) under the back in its stock location. Access isn't great there but...

White Rim Road, Canyonlands National Park. Great sky, great light, great trail ... great trip!

I also am on the fence with this decision. I cross the occasional steam but avoid really deep water. I have a diff breather for that but the reason for the snorkel would be clean, cool air. I don't like the look of the long run up the fender (due to 4Runner (5th gen) airbox location) and want...

Ahhhh... what about SKIPPING rocks. See who can get the most skips out of a rock thrown across the water. A big part of the challenge with this is finding the right rock :-) The only problem I have is throwing out the old shoulder ( ball injury :-( )

Cool!! I'll have to look into one of them thar thangs.

Hey Kent, great tip! Just to help others though, I believe the co-ords are actually 34.92175,-115.56815 (not 39....). Cheers

Nah, we last got down in May 2019. I think it was just some major trail maintenance. Oh well, be a great excuse to go back as soon as we are able (from Canada). Can't wait to get back to Utah (... and Arizona, and Nevada, and Colorado, and California,. and ... )

Bryce is a definite ”must see”. Unfortunately the last time we were there the Hoodoo trails were closed :-( I had to make do with a pre-sunrise shoot.

I can give another whole-hearted endorsement of the Garmin Inreach devices. It might be noted they connect with the global Iridium satellite network, so you have all the coverage of that proven system. As others have said, it provides great peace of mind. Especially when traveling alone.

Hilarious!! ... a Garfield frog :-)

Gaia definitely works well with Android. That's what I have (Asus Zenpad with Android 7) and I find Gaia to be excellent for planning, navigating and recording routes.

Yes, there's a ton of room in there. It is the storage box that is a part of the trailer, on the frame in front of the cabin. The only problem is it is easy to overload it and create too much tongue weight (a constant battle that I wage).

”I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that”. Great movie! A little weird at times but ground breaking when released. And of course HAL was the ”precursor” to IBM (H before I, A before B and L before M :-)
