Figured I'd post this up here as well

A little story on how this all began.

Since I have been little, every year my grandmother and I always wanted to road trip across the US. We made a promise when I able to drive and was finished with college that we would rent a camper and do it. In March of 2014 she past away. This ended the chance for us to fulfill our dream.

This past year I have decided to live out our dreams and in 2016 that I was going to attend GONEmoab. If you don't know for me it’s a 2195 Mile trip from NY one way.

The trip soon escalated to visiting my best friend who is moving out west. Then it turned into screw it, it's my last real trip before the real world, let’s make my dream come true of seeing the coast.

The trip now includes:
1. Mt Rushmore
2.Seattle Washington
3.San Francisco
4.Los Angeles
5.The Grand Canyon
6. GONEmoab
7.Denver

So with this became my first real overlanding adventure. With this trip I will be designing and constructing an Expedition trailer.

Back to the living situation problem. So I have always been a fan of backpacking and living off the land, so instantly I have loved overlanding. But I haven't had much time do to school. I just love going out there and seeing every little back road.






Heres the plan as of 2/2015


once I am home I plan on kicking this thing into gear

if your interested I started a Gofundme Botto's Adventure

Any cool spots people know of thats on my trip I'd love to hear!

Nice!! sounds fun!!....had me concerned for a sec. With all due respect to your grandmother, a cross country road trip with grandma....just doesn't sound fun .
"It's 4:30, we are late for dinner!"
65 mph? ?...we aren't racing!, slow down, and stay in the left lane"

Look up big Texan , in Amarillo texas.....eat a whole steak (72 oz), and it's free

Man, that is awesome! I'm envious of your trip. Hope you're putting in some overtime hours so you have some $$ to spare on that trip! Def. make a stop in Yosemite!

Whoa, sounds awesome.

A proper camara, that can do low light stills, time lapse and videos, would be a good investment too.

Good luck.

You should also get a HAM radio.

Pretty sure you'll need an amutuer radio license as well.

But should be well worth it if you have no cell, gps, and desperately need help.

rather than build it... you may want to look into rental oppertunities...
