Brian's slowly working his way down to the Overland Expo, exploring as he goes. He has a new SPOT and is sending updates on his progress. View Larger Map

Looks like he's getting closer to finding what he's looking for... solitude. View Larger Map

Looks like he's out there all right. I'd like to explore the Bruneau River too. I believe that there's a dual sport trail that follows it.

This seems more like GPS-Voyeurism :-)

Thank goodness the satellite imagery isn't real-time.

That's pretty cool. So those Spot's actually work huh?

Just got off the phone with Brian. He arrived safe and sound... I'm living vicariously through him this week. View Larger Map

I have arrived as well, Ill be sure to take lots of pics. The town is already crawling with every off road truck you can think of just passed a unicat truck on the way home!

Glad you made it Mike. When Brian called, he was trying to locate you. I think he sent you an email with his cell phone number.

Those Unicats are cool. I hadn't heard of them before now. Try and get some pics of that! A

Brian is back on the move today... That cirque on the other side of the ridge of his current location looks like it would be a sweet camping spot. View Larger Map

Looks like Brian's forward progress has been halted. He's going to need some REALLY big bridging ladders to get across this one. View Larger Map

Looks like he had to drive outside of GC National Park to find a campsite. That place was packed with a huge line to get in when we were there a few weeks ago.

I'm extremely jealous. Next time we are camping and the kids get up before dawn, I'm telling them to go over to Brian's van and he has donuts and hot cocoa ready for them if they knock loud enough! Brian-- if you're reading and have a few more days, jump over to the other side and visit the Maze District!! Just checked weather and it's going to be a perfect 81 degrees today in Moab.
