What is Overlanding
- While expedition is defined as a journey with a purpose, overlanding sees the journey as the purpose.
- It's all about the adventure -- Exploration, Education and Conservation!
- Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal. Typically, but not exclusively, accommodated by mechanized off-road capable transport (from bicycles to trucks) where the principal form of lodging is camping; often lasting for extended lengths of time (months to years) and spanning international boundaries.

PARABOLIC SPRINGS
MAZATZAL MOUNTAINS 9-27-08
The mountains are just north of four peaks. The HWY 87 to the west and the HWY 188 to the east. Roosevelt lake is also to the east.
We enjoyed a nice dusting of rain.
Its a nice drive up one side and down the other, road does not require 4x4 unfortunantley but this area needed to be explored. There is a medium rated trail a little to the north that what we will hit up soon.

my Wife wants a G-Wagon
You know Defender
This is the land rover Defender. I have not seen one personally in the USA but I saw a few runnin around Sweden when I was serving a church mission there. The Defender is the original Land Rover.
In Spain Land Rover contracted to a company named Santana to build the Defender out side the UK. Santana I guess was able to keep building them even after the contract ended with Land Rover. The Santana sported parabolic leaf springs and solid axles.
Santana is now owned by Iveco. Iveco did a little redesign and it looks like they made it fit in well with their Off-road line of trucks.http://www.off-road.iveco.com/
Iveco is an Italian company with a nice unimog lookin truck. Unfortunently no portal axles. I saw the 2wd version of these Ivecos all over Sweden.
This is their Pick-up.
This is their shortest set up.

MESA
Mesa is my place of residence becuase:
- Heratige.
- It is our home base.
- It is not in the country.
- I was born here.
- Mesa-nites can rest easy knowing they don't have to mow their lawns.
