"And you're welcome to the club" Hell yeah.

Mine is Phase2...and it's a Jeep. I don't talk about the name much because it sounds kind of dumb, but it got named a few years ago - so it's stuck with it. The background is simple...I bought a Harley when I was 32 as what I believe was a bit of an early mid-life crisis thing. That was fun...

I did a ton of research on roof racks and I just ordered a Front Runner Slimline II. The accessory catalog is really impressive in addition to the excellent design of the rack itself.

Gears and a roof rack get bought this weekend!

I drive a Jeep JKU. I love it because it's easy to build the way I want it. But I'm a "car guy" first. So I love all forms - particularly the rigs that are unique. Toyota, Jeep, full size pick-up, Subaru, Go-cart...doesn't matter to me. What I love more than the vehicle itself is finding someone...

I have this tent for family trips, and then an REI Quarter Dome for solos or 2-person trips. Both are excellent in my opinion.

I use the REI Quarter Dome. It packs very small, is very lightweight, easy to set up, and a good amount of room inside.

Check out BOLD Overland on You Tube as well. There aren't a lot of episodes, but they're pretty good...particularly the episode where they have the big "oops" - you'll see.

Very nice! My only advice is go slow - I've done and then re-done so many things on mine that it's not funny.

Not sure if it's related, but I'm not showing on the map either. I typed in Berkley, MI and never got a drop down. Using the website on a Mac.

I've had the best luck plotting routes in Google Earth and then exporting the file to Gaia for use on an iPad. I also use a Delorme InReach for GPS and link it to my iPad - seems to be a very solid approach so far. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Here's one from March in Cheboygan Michigan. We got 18" of snow the day before we got there.

Very cool! Shoot me a message when you're back!!! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk
