This one’s a bit of a cheat, these were two separate trips, both just quick overnighters rather than an epic, multi-day expedition into the unknown. Honestly though, I’m starting to love these little overnight escapes. Luckily, Southern California is full of opportunities for quick getaways...
I was browsing reddit today and I come across a post on the front page of reddit featuring a kitted out bronco and had to check it out
Someone figured out that its the same guy who had posted about his espresso machine in the bronco
So now he is getting roasted more than Starbucks...
I was looking for a quick escape this Memorial Day weekend and couldn’t decide where to go for some easy, scenic trails to relax and unwind. Luckily, I came across Nacimiento-Fergusson Road in Big Sur, California, thanks to a YouTube video and ON X maps. The road had just recently reopened, and...
In my ever long quest to squeeze more into a 2 door and seeing the 4 doors have their own attic trays by pura vida and mountains to metals, I wanted to cobble something together but need some advice and help
I've removed by rear speaker pods and have only the mounts there. I'm not fabricator...
Since I started touring national parks, I've always heard about how Yellowstone is THE park to go see. I got the opportunity this 4th of July break and left about a week before the holiday and planned more than usual. The trip was amazing and involves rescuing a missing dog, hitting 50k miles...
On father's day Sunday I got up very early to drive up to Oceano Dunes OHV aka Pismo Beach for a little beach cleanup put on by Friends of Oceano Dunes https://www.oceanodunes.org/
They are an organization that has filed lawsuits to keep the park open for us to use. The president Jim Suty has...
Thursday, we finished up a big order at work, and after making sure the client was happy, I knew I needed to exit stage left-and fast. Considered Death Valley National Park, but I think I'm going to save that for the fall. It was just a bit too hot when I checked.
So the idea now was to take...
The idea was to stay at home this NYE. But I got a last minute call from a buddy, and with not a lot of arm twisting, we were on the road to Tahoe from LA. A little bonus for the trip, I'de just installed the Procal tune and was anxious to see how it performed on the long haul.
This trip we...
This latest trip came up when friends wanted to go to Cabo to celebrate a 10 year anniversary and a birthday. I figured I could celebrate the Red Bandit's 1 year anniversary too and use the journey to do some research for work as well. This was my first time in Baja California. It ended up being...
Memorial weekend gave me an opportunity to take a little break. I couldn't decide where to go, so I let the weather dictate and Utah was the best choice for this weekend and it sure didn't disappoint.
My not-so planned plans were to leave LA and head to
Zion National Park
Bryce National Park...
Wanting to take advantage of the Presidents Day weekend, I scampered online last minute for ideas and found the Lost Coast Trail. Packed up the Red Bandit and made my way up the coast from LA. The trail was easy enough to find, offering a fantastic experience through the woods with coastal...
Last minute my buddy and I decided to head to Big Bend and White Sands National Park over our New Year holiday break. Most of the country was in either a snow or rain storm, so I found the one corner where we could find some good weather and enjoy a bit of off-road adventuring. He hopped in his...
I have fond memories of taking quads to Pismo Beach in my youth. When the opportunity came up for me to do a quick overnight trip from 23rd to the 24th, I jumped on it. Reservations were plenty, and the dunes were sparsely filled.
Don't worry, I didn't drive much further into the water lol...
I've been looking for a trail like this in the Santa Monica mountains with scenic ocean views but found it in Santa Barbara. It's called West Camino Cielo.
The route offers unbelievable views of the ocean on one side and Cachuma lake and mountain range on the other side.
If you are...
Answer: You can find them all on the Rowher flats off-road trail.
I took my first trip to Rowher Flats in souther california for a day of light off-roading. When things got weird.
On the trail a motorcyclist approached me and said "you might not make it all the way to the top, there is a...
Two days ago, I thought It would be a great idea for the Bronco and I to do what every Bronco owner should do and visit the sacred Bronco Knoll. I got up saturday morning at 4:30am and made my way to Johnson Valley, where a few surprises awaited me.
I wasn't familiar with the Johnson Valley...
Just came back from a quick weekend trip to Joshua Tree. Packed up the bronco for a solo trip through Berdoo Canyon Road to my campsite at Belle. From there got up early to take up Old Dale Road to the 62.
When I was 24, I drove up Berdoo canyon in a Ranger Rover Sport on street tires at night...
