So Mrs Spaze wanted to get out for her birthday and we decided to head to the Sedona area. We always have a few plan B's but the main idea was to camp and hike in Coconino National Forest for a few days and then head to the Verde Hot springs our last night and relax. This is what actually...

@DharmaBum oh man! I'm totally sending positive vibes your way. Just remember all this will still be there later.

looks amazing!! enjoy!!

Probably the best picture I have of "the Beast" since we bought her and started building/fixing things. She still needs a lot of work, but thus far it has been worth it.

@DharmaBum If you like "hiking" then try the slot Canyon. Its short (probably ~2 miles out and back?), and is a cool small slot canyon. Further back into the park (and closer to the AZ border) are the wind caves which you can easily camp at (in the caves themselves if you want). Past that I...

This is where we setup camp (roughly 34.808551554770716, -115.622718741056). The views were great and it was fairly secluded. Granted we did it over NYE weekend, so there were others nearby, but nothing crazy.

Depending on where you are going in California, Mojave was VERY impressive for me. We just came back from a weekend there and I'd 100% do it again! We camped by the Granite hills and I'd do it again in an instant.

So I've been making a few calls. The parks are open, buuuut overnight camping is closed (some parks have closed back country camping as well). That said dispersed camping on BLM land is still 100% ok. Here is a link to the El Centro page (El Centro Field Office | Bureau of Land Management) where...

Another San Diegan here :)

for you guys that do run the 20Gal bottles, where do you put them when they aren't being used? I'd love to see what your storage solution is.

welcome from san diego! I wish I had more info to give you about routes, but I'm a relative newbie to overlanding. That said, there are some routes in Death Valley, and Joshua Tree that look amazing!

where are you headed?

The van I bought came with a Goal Zero 1250. Its a neat bit of kit and used they are actually quite a deal, I can sell mine but only break even on a house battery and accompanying systems if I want to make the switch. The Con to them is that they are HUGE! Packaging is more "generator style" in...

and subscribed :) I'd love to know what you all plan and if you're looking for a partner in crime Jan 7-10ish...

We were literally there 2 weeks ago! While I can't comment to over landing I can comment that 1) The racetrack is really cool and worth the haul out there 2) Mesquite Springs Campground is nice and was pretty vacant when we were there 3) wildrose peak is a nice ~7.5 mile out and back. We...

Hey there! I just joined because I bought a '99 e250 that has been outfitted as a camper. I'm slowly building a lift and adding some more appropriate gear to it, and hope it will take me on many adventures!
