Ascending into what turned out to be Log Canyon, on an unnamed trail, somewhere north of Ely, Nevada, near the Pony Express Trail. A fun little trail leading to some great views at the summit. This is an excerpt from part 2 of our 5 part Pony Express Trail YouTube series. Link in bio.

The first part of my Pony Express series will go up on the YouTube on Sunday. In this one myself and the crew of three other adventurers cover 160 miles of dirt, and about 190 miles total, from Tooele UT to Tippet NV. Photo from first night’s campsite near Tippet.

Do I look ready for the big trip next week? Just a couple little loose ends here. 540 miles on the Nevada section of the Pony Express Trail next week!
Something new …

Our New Idria ghost town & abandoned mercury mine trip is up!
#NewIdria #GhostTown #Abandoned #Mine #Mercury #Cinnabar #OffRoad #OffTheBeatenTrack #FourWheelTravel
Our New Idria YouTube video is coming! I went out there in November having finally made it to the old ghost town on my third attempt. Editing is coming along, I am at least 50% through, with the weekend ahead of me. This video is at so-called New Idria Reservoir, which is a couple of miles upstream on San Carlos Creek from the town itself. #newidria #ghosttown #mercurymine #quicksilver #offroad #offthebeatentrack #powerwagon #fourwheeltravel
Between August-December 2020 the Dolan Fire burned 120,000 acres in the Big Sur area of California’s Central Coast. Here’s a visual ‘before and after’ of the summit of Nacimiento-Fergusson Road where it meets South Coast Ridge Road. It is shocking, there are basically no trees left (this is obviously only a tiny fraction of total damage). #nacimientofergussonroad #bigsur #dolanfire #lospadresnationalforest #beforeandafter #wildfires #arson #californiacentralcoast #montereycounty #fourwheeltravel
Nacimiento-Fergusson Road reopened after 4 years and $12M in repairs. We drive it, and camp at Kirk Creek Campground at Big Sur.
Off The Beaten Track episode 18, on our YouTube.

Back at Clear Creek for more exploration. Off The Beaten Track episode 17 in the can. #clearcreek #clearcreekmanagementarea #publiclands #bureauoflandmanagement #mypubliclands #offthebeatentrack #fourwheeltravel
Did you know the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) has mapped thousands of survey benchmarks across the US? These markers have been used for precise land surveying, navigation, and elevation data for decades! Today, adventurers like us are recovering these hidden gems—many of which have been untouched for years.

Our exploration of Clear Creek Management Area (CCMA) in California’s Coastal Range is now live!
EDIT: IDK what’s up w/my YouTube thumbnails not showing on my Mastodon, so I’ve attached the thumbnail.

Jadeite rock outcrop at Clear Creek, near Paicines, California. BLM Clear Creek Management Area is home to many different types of minerals and metals. Jadeite is common, and Mercury and Asbestos (Serpentine) were mined and quarried at CCMA, on a huge scale. This is an outtake from the upcoming YouTube video covering our visit to CCMA. #offroad #dirtroad #bureauoflandmanagement #jadeite #serpentine #mypubliclands #ccma #clearcreekmanagementarea #offthebeatentrack #fourwheeltravel
A brief stop at Mission San Antonio de Padua in Jolon — California’s second mission — during my trip up to Escondido Campground in our latest Off The Beaten Track YouTube. Link to video in bio.
I’m also wearing one of our fabulous t-shirts, not that you can really tell. Merch store also linked in bio. :)

When you go to unmount the Insta360 camera from your truck, but forget that it is still recording. Elsbeth said I look like Mario, and she may not be wrong.
At Clear Creek Management Area.

In episode 6 of our exploration of the dirt roads around California's Central Coast, we drive the Power Wagon along Old Coast Road in Big Sur, California. As its name suggests, this fantastic 10-mile stretch of single-track dirt road was the old coastal road used by those traveling south along the California coast from San Franciso.

Since we nuked the post history while moving this account around, here are a few gratuitous links from our YouTube channel featuring some of our most viewed videos.
In this video we uninstall the Softopper truck topper and have an OVRLND Campers popup camper shell installed on our 2017 RAM Power Wagon.

Sorry for the account migration spam, https://overland.social is back! This time, it is a single-user instance, for now at least.
Spent a (good) few hours installing Mastodon from source on a couple of ARM-based EC2 instances. Let's see how this goes!
Here's a pic from our April trip to Carrizo Plain National Monument, headed south on Soda Lake Road.

Parkfield Grade with the Insta360 X4, and the not so shiny cab and the not so invisible selfie stick shadow. :) New YouTube tomorrow (no little planet shots, I promise) where we try out our new Insta360 X4 on a return trip to Parkfield, the ‘Earthquake Capital of the World’ and drive over Parkfield Grade. #offthebeatentrack #dirtroadingthewest #insta360 #insta360x4 #fourwheeltravel #notsponsored #powerwagon

So close! After 5 years we’re creeping up on the magical 4,000 hours of watch time in the last year. Also, new video in the works summarizing 5 out of the 12 dirt tracks we’ve done a full episodes for. #youtube #fourwheeltravel #dirtroads
Wrapping up the Chassis Unlimited Octane bumper install. Parking sensors & license plate lights done. Need to get the spare wheel mounted on there. #powerwagon #newbumper #octanebumper #dualswing #fourwheeltravel #chassisunlimited
In episode 3 of our Scotland 2018 series, we take the ferry from Oban and drive the spectacularly scenic Isle of Mull! 🏴🏴🏴
We started to hit our stride with this 3rd episode - this video is our most popular to date. It does not hurt that the scenery in this part of Scotland is absolutely beautiful, and the setting really encapsulates Scotland's 'Highlands and Islands' the title of the overall series.
