Shots straight out of my iPhone... this is my 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 Off-Road truck transformed by the Asheville Vehicle Outfitters in NC to overland and rock crawl... I climbed to the summit of Windrock mountain (traversing one trail segment rated difficult). I then drove down to southern FL.. coming back to IL to finalize the sale of my house. Next spring, I’m heading into the wildernesses of Canada and Alaska, taking a 7+ month photography trip (and that’s just the beginning).

Overlanding in Oregon was simply a delight! This is one of the four different places that I camped in the beautiful Ochoco National Forest in Oregon. This particular spot was just off of the National Forest Development Road 41, one of the main roads in the Ochoco National Forest in the state of Oregon (United States).

I met several wonderful people while I was in this national forest and I now call them good friends. At this particular campsite, I met Mitchel Seals. He camped a night with me and we made some videos for my YouTube chanel (OverLandScapes).

Later, I hiked through the forest seeking a spring of water that found on GAIA GPS and I came across another camping spot that was more secluded and out of the way... but either hiking there or coming back, I lost my cell phone in the forest's undergrowth. After many fruitless hikes back and forth and even enduring a rain shower, I finally found it nearly 24 hours later. It was lying on the ground face up... and barely had power.

Then, I drove in a big loop to the new site I had found. It was there that I met Gary and Jill Miller. Gary had been a BLM ranger in the Steens and he encouraged me to go to the mountain to take pictures. He actually met me there and showed me around the mountain. Their son, Nick, who is now serving as a BLM ranger, had an up-close and personal encounter with a large male cougar. Nick is lucky to be alive. There is a video on my channel where he talks about this dangerous encounter and how he survived.

The Overland Track is an Australian bushwalking track, traversing Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It's walked by more than nine thousand people each year, with numbers limited in the warmer months.

Officially the track runs for 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair however many choose to extend it by walking along Lake St Clair for an extra day, bringing it to 82 kilometres (51 mi).

It winds through terrain ranging from glacial mountains, temperate rainforest, wild rivers and alpine plains.

The Jeepster is an automobile originally produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1948 to 1950. It was developed in hopes of filling a gap in the company's product line, crossing over from their "utilitarian" proto SUVs and trucks to the passenger automobile market. The basic model included numerous deluxe features and interior fittings in addition to a high level of standard equipment that cost extra on other automobiles. A total of almost 20,000 were manufactured.

Not quite Midsummer, but close enough when for a short period of time there was plenty of light still to get The Overland emerging from sleeps Hill tunnel in good light before the shadows started to lengthen.

V/Line loco N468 is only about 10Km into its 800km overnight journey from Adelaide to Melbourne on 7 January 1993.

Our last bush camp in Bolivia before crossing over to Argentina. We were traveling with Oasis overland.

It might be just my imagination, but I think I can see letters painted on the old stonework. Amgourie tea?

Hit a snow storm on the Overland Route somewhere between Green River, WY and Ogden, UT on our way to Las Vegas, NV

Indian Pacific liveried NR26 works 5MA8 Overland service from Melbourne to Adelaide on Thursday afternoon on 29-11-07.

Four of Pacific National's GE powered NR class were painted into this scheme and later NR18 into a newer scheme. Later all would receive repaints and a simplified Indian Pacific scheme would be applied

Saw this outside the Boyertown Museum and couldn't find the owner to get more info. But they have a lot of work ahead of them.

The overnight Melbourne to Adelaide sleeper catches some early morning light as it climbs the grade out of Callington, South Australia, approximately 90 minutes from its destination.

At this time the train was jointly operated by the federally owned Australian National and the Victorian state owned V/Line - V/Line EMD X51 is leading AN Alco 934 on 11 October 1987.

Back then it ran overnight in each direction. Today it is privately run (with government subsidy) and only a daylight run twice a week, rarely loading to more than 6 cars.

Sporting it's new colours is NR31, making it's way into Melbourne as The Overland 6AM8. Seen here approaching Francis Street, Brooklyn.

The interstate passenger train 'The Overland' is yet again in trouble, after the operator Journey Beyond Rail Journeys is expected to cease service with the Adelaide-Melbourne passenger train. The 127 year old service The Overland is expected to be ceased by the end of the year, after the Victorian Government has been funding the service 100% with no financial support from from the South Australian Liberal party or the Commonwealth Government.

Although, one window closes as another opens.

NR31 is wearing it's distinctive new orange colour scheme, for JBR's nearing service 'Great Southern', which is a new service kicking off in a months time between Brisbane and Adelaide.

Durante la década de 1900, el comerciante estadounidense John North Willys montó un comercio minorista de automóviles en la localidad de Elmira, Nueva York, donde se dedicó a la venta y representación oficial de la división Overland Automotive de la Standard Wheel Company. Sin embargo, los continuos problemas en el abastecimiento de suministros lo llevaron a tomar la decisión de adquirir esta compañía, hecho que se terminó concretando en el año 1908. Tras haber adquirido esta empresa, Willys la reestructuró y en 1912 pasó a denominarla Willys-Overland Motors, iniciando una nueva etapa en la industria automotriz. El crecimiento de Willys-Overland fue tal, que en 1913 adquirió una licencia para producir motores desarrollados por Charles Knight, con sistema de válvulas de camisa, lo que permitió el inicio de la producción de una serie de automóviles que fueron conocidos como Willys-Knight. La expansión de Willys incluyó la compra de la Electric Autolite Company en 1914. Previamente, se había hecho con las acciones de la Marion Motor Car Company en 1909 y un predio perteneciente a la quebrada firma Pope Motor Car Company, en la localidad de Toledo, Ohio. Allí, Willys trasladó toda la producción de sus vehículos levantando una importante fábrica, mientras que en 1912 terminó por tomar la decisión de renovar el nombre de su empresa por el de Willys-Overland Motors Company. Las acciones de esta nueva compañía se amplificaron con la llegada de la firma Ewards Motor Company en 1913, la Russell Motor Car Company de Toronto, Canadá en 1916 y la New Process Gear en 1917. Esto último, le permitió a Willys convertir a su empresa en la Willys-Overland Corporation. La lista de compras se agrandó en 1919, al ser adquirida una planta en Elizabeth (Nueva Jersey) que perteneció a la Duesenberg Motors Company. Durante esta primera etapa de producción, la nueva Willys-Overland alcanzó la segunda posición como productora de vehículos de los Estados Unidos, siendo apenas superada por la Ford Motor Company, entre los años 1912 y 1918.

This seems like a fun idea, until you remember there's not much room to pack stuff you need for an extended camping trip.
