    Amazing adventure buddy & awesome pictures. Any chance you have a track log? I'd like to see it on Google Earth.

    Thanks man!

    Sadly I do not. However, there is GPS data for the WABDR, Whipsaw, and moly available online fairly easily.

    I did my best to notate the route We took in the report itself.

    I got GPS stuff this year to start logging things better. But didn't get to until my fall trip.

    Hopefully I'll be able to share more data in the future.

    I definitely enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. It's not an adventure unless you find trouble.

    Thanks man!

    I've been meaning to start documenting our food more as I get asked about it a lot. For lunch we eat lots of sandwiches yes haha but always spice them up with good things.

    Dinner is much more of an occasion and we don't hold back there. We do steaks. Burgers. Pastas. Soups. Chowders. All homemade type stuff and good ingredients. It's our vacation after all! Food and gas are generally the only expenses on the trips so we make the most of the food.

    Will try and document our food stuff more in the future. Devin would enjoy that.

    Thanks man!

    The green boxes i use are Military Medic boxes. I have two deep ones and two shallow ones. They fit perfectly between the trucks wheel wells and stack great. i just screwed up my bed rack build (v2.0 will amend that) so i can't stack them. But i can in my other rig!

    I picked them up at a localish army surplus store. They can be a bit tricky to find online as they are kinda popular. But usually around 50 bucks each. Water tight(well..kinda the seals can be bad) and aluminum construction so light weight and tough!

    really like them.
