Overall it was a great trip for me. The vehicle held up very well again. The only regret I have is that I did not camp anywhere. I'm not sure why I didn't on this trip. I had everything I needed with me but for some reason there just seemed to be a lack of conviction on my part. Maybe it has something to do with the Tent Cot I use for camping. Its very quick to set up and tear down outside the vehicle. However, it does take some doing to take it out and put it back as I have to remove a lot of things that sit on top of it while traveling. Plus getting access to the camping gear I have in the ammo cases on the roof rackis somewhat clumsy with how I have them tied down.

There will definitely be some upgrades in my near future, particularly if I want to go for another extended adventure next year. I see drawers; I see a different, smaller footprint fast deployment tent; I see better tie down techniques for items on the Safari Rack; I see more planning needed!

Well, until next time!

The next two days were long drives again and luckily, with great weather. There must be a better way to get out west with your vehicle!

I didn't take many photos, except of other Trailblazer/Envoy vehicles that passed me (see first post). Here are a few curiosities from the road, they are self explanatory.
