Same here. Bungee is cheap and doesn’t take up any additional space.

We did this trip several years ago when our boys were 6 and 3 taking six days in total. Across 40 from West to East, and yes, we caught some of these same sights as well. We hit Cadillac Ranch as well as a great children's museum in Little Rock, AR. It's a little ways off of 40, but well worth...

Nice! Didn’t know this existed. Thanks for the tip! This will definitely help for some of my future plans.

Welcome @RedDogMaster! Great to have you with us! Is the F-series in your photo your current rig?

Welcome, Abdifatah! I think you're going to like it here. What do you drive?

Bravo. As a fellow XC70 owner, it's nice to see one that's ready to get dirty!

Thanks, Todd. I appreciate the feedback.

You can't get too much farther north in VA than you are! I'm not far away in Maryland and would be interested as well. Southern VA is too far for what I have to drive through to get there. :-)

:tearsofjoy: I'm told the Xterra is a great platform to build on. Love the torque from that V6, I used to own a Frontier. I'm going to step out on a limb and say that you'll be pleasantly surprised how much translates. You're probably far better off than you think. Welcome to OB!

Welcome, Jimmy! And thank you for your service!

Howdy all, I have a relatively stock '21 Tacoma that will likely stay relatively stock. I may add some mild suspension to level things out at some point, but given how the truck is used 95-97% of the time, it doesn't make sense to do more (at this point). I'd like to upgrade the tires to...

I think that's the direction I'm headed. There's no more room inside the truck, so the bike is probably going to require an attachment. I just got the email notice about the REI member sale next week... :-)

Welcome, James! This place is a great resource for getting up to speed. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks to answer questions and a robust amount of information to shorten your learning curve.

Gorgeous build. I'm impressed by your ingenuity and attention to detail. Nice work!

Great shot. That’s what the kids would call a “banger!” (A really good photo)

Agreed! That's a fantastic attitude. Escalating the issue likely won't help anyone.

We're figuring this out right now. Trip #1 this year did not go to plan with regard to sleeping arrangements. We have a Gazelle T4 Plus tent which works great, but our Camp-Rite double air mattress (brand new for the trip) did not hold air and we ended up sleeping—or not—on rocky ground. We've...

We've used camping as a way to try and learn new things together. Cooking outdoors is certainly one of those. Ownership of the trip is definitely key. I feel that everyone should have a role and know what it is. This way, the unit fails or is less successful if everyone doesn't participate. My...

Welcome, Robert. There's a lot of great information here, no matter your experience level. Take an evening and dig in!

Hi Jerome, I saw your comment on my mountain bike thread yesterday and didn't know you were new. Welcome to the community!
