Thanks! It's a great fit for us right now, but the kids are growing quick. Well probably upgrade in a few years to a bigger overland rig and the 4Runner will become a garage queen that I SAS...at least that's my hope!

Some from our latest trip: trip report here: 2016 Annual Family Overland trip

By this time, we were running out of time, the 3 week mark was quickly approaching. I needed to be back to work, so we started the journey back home...rushing through Idaho (we want to go back to explore more), Nevada, and crashing the night at our family cabin in Truckee. After relaxing at...

We love this park. Much more low key than any other National Park we’ve been to, and there are a few legal 4x4 trails too.

Continued.... After a few nights in Glacier, we made our way to Yellowstone. We stayed the night outside the park before the West entrance to the park. Bright and early, we packed up and headed into the park. Yellowstone is a really busy park; it obviously has really awesome landmarks to...

Pretty uneventful to say the least. I read that you're to bring their vaccination papers for them to check at the border. Crossing both ways they didn't even ask me to take him out much less check his papers. Maybe because we crossed at fairly small border stations?

More to come later!!

Glacier NP in the distance We stayed at a KOA right outside of Glacier. It had a nice pool and water park that the kids loved. Set up camp and cooked dinner...Putting the kids to work washing the dishes. Early morning we took off to explore Glacier, via Going-to-the-Sun Road. FYI...

Morning run Did the Icefield Parkway drive halfway up to Jasper. Certainly top 3 scenic drives I’ve ever done...and didn’t even leave the pavement. We did a few nights in Banff, then made our way back to the US border...destination Glacier NP. Made it a little interesting and took some...

After Kelowna, we made our way to Banff NP. e

After crossing the Canadian border, we made our way to Kelowna. At this point we’re about 1.5 weeks into our trip. I figured the family would need little downtime so we booked an Air BnB for 2 nights. Pretty nice carriage house on an apple farm. Big blue taking a rest in the apple orchards...

No kidding...we'll be out at gold lakes this weekend too...8/19 weekend. Trying to squeeze in a few more trips before the two older ones go back to school. DM me your info...maybe we can meet up As far as sleeping set up...yes, we're all in the RTT. It's the biggest one on the market...I...

More pics along WABDR:

I downloaded GPS tracks from here: http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/WABDR Then also ordered a WABDR map from butlers. It's 600 miles long but you can run sections at a time.

I'm out too. Bit too long of a drive for a day trip.

That day was tuff on all of us, and a rest day from camping and the trails was needed. Section 5 of WABDR ends at the Town of Conconully, WA. A really small and quiet town, with a river flowing through it, local lake, and great open space park for the kids. We stayed 2 nights at Gibson’s...

Towards the beginning of Section 5 of WABDR, with Lake Chelan in the background. We stopped here for lunch. About 40 ish’ miles into section 5, we encountered a huge washout on the trail. There was a bypass around the washout...one side was offcamber the other was a mud puddle. I was...
