About Us

Let's get something out of the way right off the get-go - we are not overlanders and what we do is not overlanding. We are what can best be described as "Four-Wheel-Drive Wanderers". We generally don't wander far from the dirt roads, dusty trails and gravel highways the Western United States.

At some point in the future we may become overlanders

Our Story (The Relatively Short Version)

That goofy couple in the picture over there is us, Earl & Edna. Well, it was us a few years ago anyway. We're a little older now, probably a little goofier too.

We like getting away from civilization. As far away from civilization as possible. Civilization is over-rated. Empty roads and wild places are way better.

We've always liked going, no matter where the going takes us. Like the time we drove through the night all the way into Montana in the middle of the winter in search of a motel with a swimming pool. It wasn't like there weren't motels with swimming pools back home. It was just about the going. Besides, the kids enjoyed it.

Anyway, after way too many years of rattling one family car after another down dirt roads they had no business being on, we did what any relatively sane people would do once their kids are grown with lives of their own and neither the time nor the inclination to hunt down swimming pools in the backwaters of Montana with their parents.

We went and got ourselves a shiny new four-wheel drive pick-em-up-truck and headed into the desert remotes to collect some fancy pin-striping.

Fast forward a year or three, add a few creature comforts to that pick-em-up-truck, throw in retirement and here we are on the interwebs sharing the stories, adventures and lessons we're learning as we explore the empty roads and wild places of this beautiful country in our Tacoma, Idgie the Wander Fort.
