It feels really good to make improvements to the Defender, no matter how small. The new seats make the truck look great!

V21E5: Whales and Waterfalls in British Columbia | venture4wd

I did manage to get some great whale footage, but the boat was rocking to-and-fro, and I couldn't hold the camera steady for the life of me!

V21E4: Caves and Coves of Vancouver Island | venture4wd

It was a great place to camp. You can tell that the landing is occasionally occupied, but for the most part, it felt like a secret spot.

The last time I found myself in southern Washington, I was enthralled with the vastness and splendor of Gifford-Pinchot National Forest.

Tucked away in some remote corner of backcountry. I probably smell. I crave Mexican food and a shower. Haven't seen anyone else in days.

I perched the van on a flat rock atop the edge of the cliff, overlooking all-the-things!

V20E22: Sprinter Van 4WD vs AWD Face-Off | venture4wd

The experience with the Sprinter has been a rabbit hole. We're approaching three years of ownership, and I'm still learning a ton about it.

Not only did I get to know the folks at Agile Offroad, but I learned a ton about the vans, and I am even more impressed by what they can do.

The scenery in this video is stunning, but I'm even more excited to share my chicken parmigiana with you! Is it better than Olive Garden?

V20E19: Days and Nights in the Sonoran Desert | venture4wd

I ventured into the desert this week, first, for a change of scenery, and second, to find out how comfortable (or otherwise) it might be.

Instagram keeps serving me classic Porsches, and I heart every one because they’re classic Porsches. Now my feed is mostly classic Porsches. That’s not what I want to see, but I’m not going to stop liking those pictures. That’d be like lying. The same thing happened with corgis.

One mountain at a time, I'm exploring Arizona's higher elevations as things start to get toasty at home.

The climate up in Flagstaff was so perfect during Overland Expo, that I ventured up that way again in the van to enjoy some cooler temps.

Took forever to push this up due to a Cox outage. I ended up putting my iPad on the window sill and using it as a hotspot.

Does Chris make it out of the desert alive? Not only did I fare perfectly well, I enjoyed quesadillas there.

I won't rest until I've explored every viable track. Even if it's 50 years from now, and I'm no longer writing holodeck programs...
