NoOverhead Vanlife Adventures

June, 2023 And here we are. Another season in the books. This episode, Wyatt and I explore the incredible Ouray Perimeter Trail. Which ended up being a "top 5 ever" hike for me.

I genuinely hope you enjoyed these adventures this season, and I'm always open to listening how I can improve. What would you like to see for season 4???

June, 2023. All the music in today's episode is from my buddy Will Erickson. An absolute legend. Check out his music here on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/will-erickson-music Give him a follow on IG: https://www.instagram.com/willericksonmusic/ So, this adventure is 6 years in the making. You see, I've avoided this entire area of Colorado just because of my fear of driving the Million Dollar Highway. And, I feel like there's a lesson to be learned here: face your fears head on, and be rewarded. My reward was exploring some of the most beautiful areas of Colorado I've ever seen. This was the drive from Ouray to Silverton. And it is absolutely epic. My Solar Setup: This is my second setup I've installed in Vandalf the Grey.

June, 2023 Hey...this is literally AI generated description based on this video. What the f is actually happening to reality?? It clearly doesn't sound like anything I'd ever write, but I thought you might find it interesting....you know....if you like read these descriptions or whatever.... Wyatt and I recently had an amazing adventure in Colorado, where we spent the weekend at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park before driving into the charming town of Ouray. This area of Colorado is well-known for its stunning natural beauty and is a top destination for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the great outdoors. Located in western Colorado, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a natural wonder that is not to be missed. The park features stunning, sheer black cliffs that tower over the Gunnison River, creating a dramatic and breathtaking landscape. Visitors to the park can enjoy a variety of activities, including hiking, fishing, camping, and rock climbing. After a few days spent hiking and exploring the park, Wyatt and I drove into the town of Ouray, which is known as the "Switzerland of America" for its beautiful alpine scenery and charming atmosphere. The town is nestled in a valley surrounded by towering peaks and is home to a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities, such as hiking, mountain biking, and hot springs soaking. One of the highlights of our trip was taking a dip in one of the town's hot springs, which was the perfect way to relax and unwind after a few days of hiking. We also enjoyed exploring the town's historic district, which is full of picturesque Victorian-era buildings and quaint shops and restaurants. Overall, our weekend in Colorado was an unforgettable adventure that allowed us to experience some of the best that the state has to offer. From the rugged beauty of Black Canyon of the Gunnison to the charming town of Ouray, we fell in love with this spectacular corner of the country and cannot wait to return.

May, 2023 Let's be honest: you've never heard of Marble, Colorado. And, with a population of only 133 humans, why would you? Honestly, I discovered this town and these adventures only because I was trying to find an available campground before Memorial Day hit. I was in nearby Carbondale, and Bogan Flats Campground looked great. And, it was. So, after talking to our camp host, and doing some Google Map searches, Wyatt and I happened upon some of the most beautiful and unique adventures we've had yet. From random lakes on an 8-mile, high-altitude hike, to exploring the abandoned marble capital of the country at one point in time, this adventure is one I'll remember forever. Oh, and if you like food, I make some absolutely banging Wagyu burgers at the end. My Solar Setup: This is my second setup I've installed in Vandalf the Grey.

This was an emotional episode for me. After traveling and exploring with my dog Onyx for 15 years, I've had a really tough go of it after his passing. He was my everything.

April, 2023 This week, I find myself back in the Natural State: Arkansas. Where everywhere else is full of dead winter trees this time of year, Arkansas is green and lush. It really is beautiful. This adventure I'll check out Mount Magazine State Park, Arkansas' highest elevation point at 2,753 feet, get disappointed by my 33rd national park (Hot Springs National Park), and deal with a refrigerator issue.

April, 2023. 600. SIX HUNDRED. Yes....six hundred steps is how many you'll have to climb down into the canyon to see Cherokee and Hemlock Falls. BUT, it is worth every step. To be down into this gorge and hike along Daniel Creek is definitely worth it. If you find yourself in Northern Georgia, you DEFINITELY need to put Cloudland Canyon State Park on your radar!

This is such a bittersweet time for me. I'm so excited to be back on the road again for the next four months, but this time I'll be doing it alone. Sadly, I had to put my 4-legged adventure partner down earlier this year. 15 years together, 3 countries, 32 national parks together. It's hard to describe how I'm feeling right now. This episode, I'm getting used to being back in the van. We'll explore DeSoto Falls in Northern Georgia, hike a mountain in Vogel State Park, and make some killer chicken at camp next to a river. We've got a LOT to explore this season, so let's get this party started. My Solar Setup: This is my second setup I've installed in Vandalf the Grey. The more you travel, the more you figure out what your needs are. I've stuck with Renogy products both times, because I literally have had zero issues with them. They just work the first time. Every time. I am a Renogy affiliate, so if you use this link, you'll receive 10% off your purchase, and Onyx and I will get a bit of gas money. http://73renogy.refr.cc/johnnyg - (2) 100 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Panel https://bit.ly/3lYqsM3 - DCC30S 12V 30A Dual Input DC-DC On-Board Battery Charger with MPPT (this was a game changer!
