If you’re not aware of Hurricane Irma by now I’d like to know the rock you’re living under. In the next few days a (currently) Category 5 Hurricane is going to make landfall in Florida. While that does not immediately affect me, within a few days the remnants of the storm are projected to drift […]
Read More“The trip you experience is always better than the trip that you plan.” At least that’s what I said in the last blog article. Sadly I think the original plan for the first 2017 No Highways Tour would have been much better than the one I experienced. Sadly the tooth I broke on the way […]
Read MoreI’d say I got my fifteen minutes of fame this week, but I’m about ten minutes short. On Tuesday the local news station’s mid-day local interest show did an Author Spotlight section on me and my No Highways Tour book series. Just in case you weren’t sure where you were, they put a 4′ tall […]
Read MoreI often describe myself as a, “philosopher poet with an insatiable case of wanderlust” (at least I do on facebook). It’s succinct and sums me up nicely. I often get asked what exactly I mean by that. Well, the wanderlust should be pretty evident. I love to travel. I’m not content sitting idle for long. […]
Read MoreIn case you’ve missed the teaser posts on the ECOA Instagram, yes there is a online store in the works for ECOA and NHT merchandise. Things like the NHT books, stickers, patches, and a few other things will be available. I’ll also be offering up package deals with some pretty solid discounts. Anyway, the bulk […]
Read MoreIn the past I have used crowdfunding as a way to fund the No Highways Tour book trips through pre-selling the books. It’s a bit of a gamble on both ends. For starters, the reader has to take a gamble that I’m going to follow-through on the trip. They also have to take a gamble […]

Read MoreI’ll admit this planned trip bares little resemblance to what I originally envisioned. It’s been hacked and slashed from an epic three month cross-country adventure through 20 states to a shorter two month trip through just half of the states, and now it’s been cut down even more. The latest banner for the No Highways […]
Read MoreRecently the hit TV show Mythbusters 14 year run came to an end. As a geeky, techy, tinkerer type I gravitated to the show from episode one. I will admit I did lose a little interest near the middle part of the run when the show became formulaic and was more sensational than serious. That […]
Read MoreShortly I will be embarking on the 2016 No Highways Tour. For the last few weeks I’ve been making a lot of tech orientation posts in preparation for this trip. The time has come to shift gets from prep mode to adventure mode. Given the lack of internet access over the next few weeks, […]
Read More1 Jeep… 12 States… 28 Days… 3,500 Miles… NO HIGHWAYS!!! Chances are you found your way to the East Coast Overland Adventures blog through the “No Highways Tour.” While the trip came first it was always part of a bigger plan. That plan is embodied not just the NHT but the ECOA page and what it […]
