My off road travels!

Mr. Leary · Mar 16, 2011

Stay tuned for some fresh material, gents! At the end of this month I will be taking a group from the Texas Hill Country to Amado, AZ on mostly dirt roads and two tracks. We should have an impressive collection of video footage from the trip. :fro:

I wish I was tagging along on this one, I'm sure it will be one for the books. Looking forward to all the posts.:keyboard:

Sorry for the delay, gents!

Most of these shots were taken by Central Overland Photographer Scott Brown.

I did not take my 4Runner on this trip, but I sure missed it (my 80 kept getting hot)!

Our fearless photographer:

The pics are out of order, but the route started in the Texas Hill County. We travelled for six days and 1300 miles (mostly dirt), and arrived dusty and exhausted in Amado, AZ for the Overland Expo 2011.

I was honored to travel with such fine company, and I was continually awed by the breathtaking scenery we experienced each day. This trip was one for my history books, and epic journey across some of the most beautiful country in the US.

Attack of the wild hogs!! haha. I always enjoy your thread updates. How much extra gas do you usually bring for each rig for your trips? Thanks for the awesome picures btw! Keep em coming!

On this trip, we brought a combined total of around 50 extra gallons of fuel. We only used 25, and we did not get into a critical situation (we could have done without). In the Rio Grande Velley, power outages are a regular fact of life, and the pumps will not work.

Thanks for the kind words. I will post a couple more from a recent trip to Arkansas.

These trips look amazing. Do you ever run any to Louisiana or southern Arkansas? I'm only about 3 and a half hours away from you and would love to go trail.

I would love to put a East Texas / West Louisiana trip together... actually one has been requested by one of the Land Rover Clubs. The closest we get to southern Arkansas right now is our Trans Ouachita Trip.

I'll be taking several scouting trips this summer in all directions, although our Arkansas trips will not resume 'til the fall due to the ticks.
