Snow, Jeeps, and Frustration!

This past weekend, we went snow wheeling in the Yankee Hill area of the Colorado mountains, which is just outside of the gambling towns of Black Hawk and Central City.

A good family friend joined us with his own rooftop tent setup on his homemade UTV trailer. I continue to be astounded by theContinue reading “Rooftop tents and vehicle recoveries”

Moab Fun

The second weekend of April in 2021 was a fun one for us- we got take the recently RLD Design and iKamper Skycamp 2.0 equipped 2021 Jeep Gladiator to Moab! We absolutely loved the additional storage space the Jeep Gladiator has compared to our tried and true Toyota 4Runner. We discovered quickly that we needContinue reading “Moab Fun”
