    Small Trip, Small Parks, Big Adventure

    Years ago, with the daughter off at school, we started taking trips to explore our area. In late 2013 we were in the book store looking for a magazine to get ideas for another trip when we ran across Overland Journal. Looking through this issue we started thinking back to a trip we did to the...

    Leave No Trace - Remember?

    So I get up this morning and figured I would watch a video or two on Youtube before I started my day. I ran across a video with "Overland Bound" in the title and thought that would be a great video to watch. By the time I got a quarter of the way through the video I was so disgusted I had to...

    '14 JKU Overhaul

    As our Jeep sneaks up on 50,000 miles we felt it was time to start hitting those items that tend to have wear issues. The intention is to change out the factory items and replace them with upgraded, aftermarket, items to reduce the possibility of breakage in the middle of nowhere and provide...

    West Virginia

    We are starting to plan our next spring trip for sometime around May. Our last trip to Big South Fork and Cumberland Gap was great but there is so much more we want to explore so we are returning to the west side of the Appalachians. We had the chance to talk with Jason from Mountain State...

    Appalachian Trip West (Part 2)

    Day 5 we finished Big South Fork with a trail hike to Yahoo Falls. Next on our list was the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park. Day 6 found us on the Ewing Trail. All I can say about the Ewing Trail is you better be in shape to take that thing on. On the way back from the Ewing Trail we...

    Appalachian Trip West (Part 1)

    Once again we started out in Dahlonega in north Georgia, but this time we headed northeast through the Blue Ridge Wildlife Management Area. I didn't think the trails would be too tough so I didn't air down. After about an hour of being beat to death, we stopped at Springer Mountain and air'd...

    Looking for a few good men

    I am part of an Epilepsy awareness group that is organizing an event for the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida. The event will be held on Saturday, 3 December and will be similar to the Overland Expo with equipment demonstrations and talks by subject matter experts (well, people who have actually...

    Overland Expo East 2016

    Wife and I split up our one big summer trip into a spring and fall trip. We started talking about the fall trip yesterday and settled on going to the Overland Expo East. Who all is making plans to go this year?

    Trail & a Movie

    Our daughter just got back from Ocala where she had gone to the Drive-in theater and presented an idea to us. She is thinking of putting together and trail run in Ocala National Forest and finishing it with an evening at the drive-in. No further details at this moment, just an idea. Would...

    Spring Appalachian Trip

    We are in full planning mode for our Spring Appalachian Trip. We have a few points we want to check out on the east side of the mountains but most of our trip will be exploring the west side. This trip we are also going to spend a lot more time out of the Jeep exploring on foot. Hey, exploring...

    Greatest Overlanding moment (so far)

    What was your greatest moment while Overlanding? What was that one second that really defined Overlanding for you or that confirmed this is what you really want to do? For the two of us it was at the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. After going through the historical village behind the...

    Why Overlanding and/or What is it to you

    I was reading over the Overland Bound Guidelines and thought with the way it started out it would be a good place to talk about why we as individuals do it or what it means to us. We traveled quite a bit in our younger years and although it was almost all international travel we are far from...

    Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

    We are doing a spring trip to Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area (didn't know we had a national river) in the spring. This trip will involve breaking a few rules by parking the Jeep for three days while we do some "Foot Dependent Travel". It would appear there is some amazing...

    Watching where you step

    I have been part of several Jeep and Off Road clubs over the past few years and was told repeatedly about “Tread Lightly”. In each of these clubs they promote “Tread Lightly” and everyone talks about it or points out things other people have done when they were not following “Tread Lightly”. But...
