I gotta learn how to do a perfect exposure like that. Great shot.
That Pony Express shot is awesome, Ben. ...and the Devil's Lane one, too.
Devil's Den and the Grabens are iconic and half of ExPo has been there, but for good reason. It's most peoples' first foray into real Utah off-roading, the typical next step after someone has done a few trips to Moab for the offroad tourist circuit. It is challenging driving, enough to give you white knuckles if you don't have a ton of off-road time under your belt, but it is completely do-able for novices, even without an experienced guide. You don't need much beyond a good truck, a compass, the National Geographic maps of the Canyonlands, and a full tank of gas. A stock Defender can make it no problemo.
If anyone reading this has a trip to Overland Expo planned, cancel your tickets and go drive the Canyonlands instead. It will change your life.

For you trailer haters.
I have to admit i bet it is pretty damn comfortable in the pop up tent. So used to jumping into a backpacking tent and or cramming my body into the defender. Everything has its place. Thanks for sharing.
Ben, we have come up on unexpected closures as well. makes route finding interesting. Spend a week out in nevada roaming the blm land on a ktm and the gate issue came into play on numerous occasions. Some of the best days are when you travel all day to get stuck at a no pass and have to find a way around.
Ha this pic was after a had to take out a failing driveshaft. It made for an interesting drive through the pass and jeep trail.
That trail would be a royal bitch with an RTT or a trailer.

Nice pics of beautiful, areas.
I have slept in ground tents, cots, and on the dirt. Being prior military, I have done most everything.
Since then I have slept in the back of a 110 3 door many times, and in the back of Tacoma's, Cruisers, T4R's, Jeep Cherokee's, a few times in a NAS 90, RRC's too. "Roughing it" was my go-to for many years - without coffee grinders and other amenities. I have also slept in a RTT for the last 4 years and love it. My Maggi Airtop is my go-to for camping now. I have it on the daily driver year round and don't hesitate to head out on a moments notice. From November 2018 - August 2019 I camped over 70 nights, probably won't duplicate or do better than that until I retire. The goal for 2020 will be to camp every month of the year. Who wants to join me for January?
I want to get out in my old tractor and think the next setup will be a platform in my 88" Series Rover with soft top. That will be fun.

I've been enjoying the 110 regular as my "tent" the last couple of years.
