Pic of my rig:
Probably my only real "overlanding" (more road trip with a little offroading) story was about our ~4,000 mileish road trip west to Moab. I wrote a four part story about it on my blog, so suffice to say it is too long to retell the whole thing here.
Long story short. We set off from Winona, Minn., our home at the time, and drove eight hours to Badlands National Park where we camped in the Sage Creek campground.
The next day we explored Wall Drug, Mount Rushmore, and finished the day at the feet of Devils Tower in Wyoming.
Day three, we drove more than 1,000 miles through torrential rain to Moab Utah, where due to our inability to find a campsite or hotel we stayed at Red cliffs Lodge (I think that is what it was called). Day four we explored old Potash Road down the Shafter Trail in Moab. This was the only "off road" part of the trip apart from the worst gravel roads I'd experienced in Wyoming.
Apart from having to stop for gas, we were pretty much self-sufficient. We carried most of our food with us and only bought what we couldn't keep. We tried to camp as much as possible.
