Traversing the original route before the new bridge was built
Overall the trip was fantastic and my overlanding lifestyle was beginning to find its legs. The rig did great minus a few shortcomings I set forth to correct.
1. The AC wasn’t working which meant windows down on the freeway for 5...
At some point around this time I discovered the world of overlanding and my plans quickly began to take shape. With a long weekend coming up I made plans to head south to Summersville/New River Gorge WV to do some hiking and kayaking and give the new rig a thorough shakedown.

At this point I didn’t really have a build plan as I didn’t want to mud or rock crawl with it and I didn’t even know overlanding was a thing so we just started exploring local hiking spots with it.
It became an immediate hit with the fam, almost too popular, because we couldn’t all fit! After...

Looks like a great view! Sometimes the misadventures are the most memorable. With a 5 year old, another on the way, 3 dogs, and a busy career most of my trips are short too. I’ve found that planning a short trip around a 3-4 day weekend every few months makes the daily grind go so much easier.
