Hey, so remember !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I was going to do an overland cheap car challenge. Well we did it, but I haven’t been working very hard getting it written up. I did write !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! !

I also have been working hard on the video. Episode 1 (of ~6) is about ready, but won’t see the light of day for a while. I did get drunk and bang out an overly dramatic teaser trailer in about 10 min. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Hopefully you see an embedded trailer and not a empty space, because Kinja. Also hopefully this doesn’t open me up to the internet hate machine too much haha.

Looks really fun, can’t wait to see the episodes. Seeing a lot of familiar terrain.

Very cool! That looks just like my old 4Runner, and I’m eyeing a suspiciously cheap but really nice looking Disco II.

What time of year did you do this? Wasn’t expecting to see snow!

Neither were we! Totally boned the first two days routes but was also a hell of a lot of fun! We did end up nixing Yosemite due to the unusually high snow-pack still present in Tioga pass.

We started in mid-May and only encountered snow on some mountain roads outside of Tahoe and around Bodie.

Too bad about Yosemite I am sure it would have been beautiful

To be honest I was relieved. It would have been beautiful, but it also would have been clogged with other tourists. We got a taste of that in Zion, which was bumper to bumper, and didn’t much care for it.

Tahoe, Bodie, and Mono Lake were all very, very beautiful and not places we would have stopped/ visited ordinarily... so that was a win.
