Best of Overland and Expedition - October 2017

Welcome to the best from October, on Overland and Expedition. Kinja’s corner of vehicle based explorers and adventurers. (I assume there were twice as many posts attempted than actually show, but were Kinja’d)


Trip Reports:

Starting the month off strong was mtdrift out of Africa and “Finally into the wild” making us all wish we were in a game reserve.

Next up LionZoo breaks in his new Prado GX460 in the montains of Southern California. It’s always astounding that one state can look like so many countries!

Honestly, the photography and the views in this report can’t be missed. Was this Colorado or the Alps?

Variety is the name of the game with easy dirt tracks and pretty damn extreme ones all within the same trip.

Some guy named Mit pretends to be Sakajawea and takes us to some Native American ruins.

SilentButNotReallyDeadly takes us to Purnululu National Park. Say that 3 times fast! This is the final chapter of a well written and epic photog trip.

The landscape is other worldy. It reminds me of several places, but is different still than anything I’ve ever seen.

Skychismo takes us on a “Short and Sweet” trip, but it’s got it all. Fire breathing, red ryder BB gun shooting, wheel lifting good times! (no one shot their eye out!)

I start my trip report for Overland Expo East, but more to come in that regard.

Lastly, I decide it’s a good idea to self immolate on a bicycle around Arizona’s high country.

As a reminder, don’t forget to check out the comment section of the posts. Sometimes entire discussions unravel and build. Not to mention there is always extra content in there. Did you see the lion dog?? Did you?? If not, then it’s time to expand all on the comments!

Archives:

Going back to the archives we see the resident Rufant put together a random collection of stuff, but what I thought was noteworthy is that so much of it doesn’t make the normal rounds of videos and photos. It’s worth a look to see the gems within.
