It sounds practical, but I’ll admit I prefer the "enclosed car" option for sleeping. But now I’m a bit desperate because I see Alamo has removed their Jeep Wranglers from their car listings... 🙁 All that’s left are pickups...

Hi there! Well, imagine this—I didn’t do nearly as much research for Namibia, which I’ve visited three times and absolutely love, as I normally would. The thing is, over there, it’s just part of the norm. In the US, if you run into trouble on the trails, you’re pretty much on your own.

I know this one and others because I lived in Los Angeles for a year in my youth.

I even rented an RV to travel with my parents, and I have to say that their campgrounds are really well equipped.

You just need a good means of transportation because it’s not practical for grocery runs or restaurants… But Americans are very organized—I even saw one towing a small plane!

Hi there, After easily crossing the Fremont, the next part gets tougher—big stop on the track with a deep tear along its entire length and no room on the sides. But a bit lower down, there’s the wash, a bit muddy with a car track. We tighten our belts, engage the 4x4, and go for it at full speed. Phew, we make it! We continue on the track, visit Bentonite Hills, then take a small crossroad to skip the loop and reach the temples. Finally, a little track on Gaia GPS lets us pass by Factory Butte and Moonscape. It’s 1 p.m., and the temperature is climbing well above 30°C.
