In this episode, there’s an epic campsite, a group trail ride that ended before it even began, some new features that dropped in the OnX mapping app, and I talk about my impressions of the Abbree AR-8118 GMRS radio after having a chance to use it on a trip. I go into how the Dirt Road Tourist got its name in the beginning. There’s a ton of ground to cover in this one, so click on the episode, and let’s dive in!

California is up to what California does best, pass regulations that affect the rest of the country. This one has the potential to affect one of the things we rely on in the backcountry the most: our tires.

If you love Offroad travel, and maintain a built rig, you should take the time to read up on what has been proposed.

And, as always, thank you so much for listening, subscribing, rating. You folks are the lifeblood of the Dirt Road Tourist.

CHAPTER 8.7 - Replacement Tire Efficiency Program
Section 25770.

In this episode, we head to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We’re stuck at home on this holiday weekend of torrential rainfall - badly-needed, admittedly - but we’re still talking about all the cool stuff we discovered exploring the Outer Banks islands from Kitty Hawk all the way down to Frisco and Hatteras. I ask for the audiences’ help on a couple of questions; seriously, folks, help a podcaster and fellow Overlander out here; I’m trying to get my water storage sorted out, and looking for ideas from the crowd. Also looking for votes on t-shirt designs I’m working on. You can find those by heading over to www.dirtroadtourist.com.
