Big Bend National Park, Black Gap Jeep Badge of Honor Jeep trail

It was a cool spring morning in Big Bend National Park. Family and friends set out to run the Black Gap rd trail and experience the park's most famous offroad path. This is an unmaintained dirt road that crosses the most remote part of the park and led us to an abandoned mercury mine. Enjoy this trip with us and then check it out yourself.

Searchers 4wd Kisatchie Red Dirt adventure

Kisatchie is a beautiful Louisiana land that is open to many different forms of outdoor adventure. I met up with a group that let me tag along to see areas that were new to me. Enjoy a little from the trip.

Fun with a Unimog 419 with opportunity for learning.

It was supposed to be just a basic trip through the woods to deliver some firewood for a new year's eve pig roast. Almost made it

Tour of the wild, Part 3, brief stop in Texas and on to New Mexico

Next part in our Tour of the Wild series. We make an ill fated stop in Big Bend State ranch and learn some hard lessons then head up to New Mexico to find a desert oasis.

Hidden Wyoming Lake

Sometimes finding the most amazing place to live for a couple days comes down to someone else being in the planned spot and having to explore unknown roads and places. We had this spot to ourselves for 4 days, one way in and one way out with no other campsites around.

Tour of the wild, Part 2, Amistad Reservior

The next stop on our Tour of the wild has us stopping for a nights stay at the Amistad reservoir in Texas. With the water levels being extremely low, a camping spot was available that normally would be submerged. This led to another great exploring adventure for me and the kids.

Tour of the Wild, part 1, Padre Island

This will be an amazing trip for this small group of explorers. We have planned a trip to visit some of the popular sites of the west, some of the lesser known destinations and some completely out there spots. This is the first stop on our Tour of the wild (named for the wild west...the wild camping...my kids!) Join my family and friends that make up this Jeepavan as we explore places that we have only seen in magazines or viewed online. Thanks and please like and subscribe to keep up with our travels.

Low water crossings are always a must

just exploring and come to a creek that gives a low water crossing option...we take the option

Quick Trip- Hickory nut mountain Vista, near Hot Springs Arkansas

quick trip while visiting Hot Springs Arkansas to Hickory nut mountain Vista. Found this place by accident and almost had to spend the night trying to find a different route out but all ended well. Great place to explore or picnic.

Girl's trip to the Ozarks

We try and share our love for the outdoors with everyone in our family. Sometimes, its good to take a smaller group of us out for a more personal experience. We made a boy's trip last year to Tennessee and now it's time to take my daughters on their own little adventure. We chose the Ozarks. The Ozarks are amazing and never cease to let us down. I wanted to give the girls a chance to set up camp, explore and make grown up decisions about our environment.

Badge of Honor trail, Tread lightly in Ocala Florida

Just a short video on a quick run to the Tread lightly trail in Ocala National forest in Florida. This is a very easy trail but the branches and undergrowth are a real pain on the paint. The trails are very tight and you will get scratches. if you got the badge and no stripes then you cheated.

Badge of Honor trail, Fins and Things, Moab Utah

My first trip to Moab. I meet up with Jesse to explore and run some Badge of Honor trails. I really had no idea what to expect. Moab is a place that I will come back to as many times as I can, amazing surroundings, incredible offroading and rich history. We left Whitbeck rock and drove across Moab to hit our first official slickrock trail, Fins and Things.

Whitbeck, Jeep overlanding camp spot, Moab

While in Moab Utah, we camped at a great spot outside of town. Whitbeck rock is a bit out of the way but that's exactly what we wanted. Amazing views, nobody else and tons of room to play

Phil's 2013 Club Challenge Run

Here is a really cool video of Phil absolutely killing the Extreme class course at Sicily Island for the 2013 Louisiana Club Challenge. He finished with the fastest time in the race and an overall second place in the Extreme class. He was also running the smallest vehicle in his class. We were able to capture the action from a go pro on his winch and from outside at multiple points on the course so you get to see more than one point of view.

THE BUGGY

Phil takes the buggy out for it's first test run...

Enjoy!
