  • In this adventure, the FZJ80 has a breakdown, and we discover a secret Grand Canyon spot that ends up being one EPIC adventure. Setting off on a one-week Overland adventure, my son Miguel and I had no idea how much "adventure" was in store for us-starting with our breakdown in Carson City, Nevada- the wiring harness on the FJZ80 melted. It wouldn't be an adventure if everything went smooth.
    But, alas, when ended up finding an Epic Overland Camping location at the Grand Canyon. The Lake Powell and Horseshoe Bend area is famous for Grand Canyon Overland Trips. But we found a place- some refer to it as Whitmore Point, Toroweap Point, and even the Kelly Point Overlook- that was simply amazing. Regardless of what you call it, this 4x4 offroad adventure trail is a marvelous secret. And we met up with some Epic friends along the way. I hope you enjoy this adventure story. #overlanding #grandcanyon #adventure

    I've hiked the Grand Canyon. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend it. I can no longer go because of pack weight and the physical toll, which denies me a 3-5 day trip. A day trip maybe. Our party once ran into rafters on an excursion of 23 paid days; I don't know how you could take that longevity. So, Overlanding definitely fulfills this opportunity. Great spot!

    Watching this has just lit a massive fire under my ass for putting in my rear seat of my truck by the weekend. (And initially removed them because I wanted more space for gear, but this past weekend and this video has reconfirmed that my need and want for friends to come with me on adventures, is higher than the desire to have more stuff with me ALL THE TIME.
    Reaffirms what you've always said, be able to be out the door in 10-15 minutes from the moment you decide you want to go somewhere. There's no reason not to go for a drive on a weekend, and get out and explore. Putting in seats means bringing more friends out to do fun stuff that I already like doing enough, to do it alone.
    Cheers!
