First Overlanding Trip - Michigan to California

[slothy]

Here are some pictures from my first overlanding trip over a 3 week trip from michigan to california and bzck. Area's i spent time in are, mojave desert, joshua Tree, Death Valley, Big Sur, lake mead and Grand Canyon (Inorth rim) .

alot of flooding and trail closure's in DV and even Mojave, so decided to head north to bog sure after a few days .

All done on a 2025 Bronco Badlans wirh SAS started with 2k on it and trip was 6900 miles round trip.

things that went bad: craked windshield , G'd out on a washout b- bent quarter panel, skid plate, possible intercooler support and lobo front bumper.

Beautiful pics. The desert is extra special when it rains. The pics were so nice that I even forgive you for using the term “overlanding”.

i wanted to hit up ozarks on the way home, but weather was looking crappy on the way home, so just b-lined it home.

Looks like a bucket list trip. Probably hard to go back home, especially if you live near Detroit.

i do alot of traveling, so most of these places ive been alredy in some shapre or form via harley, ADV Bike or work travel. But being able to take the pup with with me and let him enjoy the backgrounty is worth it, for him it was never ending bushes to pee on lol

yes detroit area does sucks thankfully 3 hours north we have many trails to dirtbike and offroad.
