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.

Old Glory
Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism. George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796_____________All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?" Benjamin Franklin, To Colleagues at the Constitutional Convention

MESA
Why do I like it here
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.
