LATEST PROJECT - Truck Drawers/Sleeping Platform As a thank you to all of those EXPO members that have posted their ideas in the past - I give you the following in hopes that others will be able to gain as much from me....My wife and I are heading to Alaska for three weeks this season. An incredible road-trip to say the least with some biking, paddling, climbing and some serious relaxing thrown in to keep it all interesting. We are both very experienced backcountry (hiking) travelers, but we wanted something faster and more convenient this time around. Hence, I turned to EXPO to see what you are all up to.Wow! So many options. Continued ...Regards, -=Doug
Ghost Town Road Trip | Gear Junkie ROAD CLOSED AHEAD. These were not words of inspiration for me and two friends last month on a road trip in Idaho. But with a truck glazed in a patina of mud, the decision was as black and white as the font on the sign: Continue on, or turn around. Little traveled, Silver City Road winds through the mountains; all photos © Dave Blum We hit the gas, moving forward. Between the city and the “Closed Ahead” sign was 15 miles of pocked desert road, its ascending twists and turns notorious for tire-sucking mud. A few hours into the drive… Any other year and the route — called Silver City Road, between Jordan Valley and Murphy — would have been closed this late in the season. It was also a chance to test out the new BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Where would the road close? We chewed uphill into the mountains, crashing through a mixed medium of mud, rock and ice until we eventually rumbled into Silver City an hour past the sign. We entered the time warp that is Silver City.

Basic Off Road Driving Techniques Basic Off Road Driving Techniques Many people are under the misapprehension that the 4X4 is a rough and tough vehicle which is indestructible and will take them anywhere, and irrespective of the terrain they will never get stuck, this is so far removed from reality as 4X4’s are just another vehicle which requires driving skills. This section is dedicated to those looking to learn these skills or those contemplating doing some form of off road driving; before proceeding with this section I would advocate any beginner reads the section on how four wheel drive works. 4X4’s can be vulnerable vehicles if a basic understanding of four wheel driving systems is not understood and how and when they should be deployed as considerable and very expensive damage can be done to a vehicle’s transmission, and those of us who have driven 4X4’s have all seen this. To climb a hill you need to walk it first, are the approach and departure angles within the capabilities of your vehicle? Assassin

She's the one: The complete Wind River High Route A scan of my topo maps from the 2009 trip, during which we hiked the length of the range. Wind River Peak was a climatic finish for the group, as it will be for a southbounder on the Wind River High Route; for a northbounder, it’s an inspiring start. My guide to the complete Wind River High Route is finally live. This project was first inspired in 2009 while guiding a two-week trip through the range, and this winter it has been my biggest obsession, the focus of 100+ hours of time and the cause for several sleepless nights when it’s been more difficult to shut down my mind than my computer. BTW, has anyone else ever dreamt in contour lines? The route’s specs: 97 miles, with 63 miles (65 percent) of off-trail travelTwo 13’ers plus a 12,259-foot mid-route summitNine alpine passes; the highest, Blaurock Pass, is at 12,750 feet620 vertical feet of change per mile, and a total of 30,000 feet of climbingLowest elevation, besides the trailheads: 9,690 feet at Big Sandy Lake More information:
