Trailwise: November 2014
http://trailwiseusa.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2014. Baja California Sur, Mexico. Hurricane Odile Relief Trip. So, our trip was not to bring immediate relief of emergency supplies, but rather to help with the ongoing rebuild of secondary needs (if you consider things like a house secondary, after water, food and electricity are restored…) La Paz has a population of almost one-hundred thousand people. Any of you who have traveled with Harald understand the significance of Viva paper towels. He was surprised and very happy! On Mon...

Trailwise: December 2014
http://trailwiseusa.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2014. It seems like holiday weekends bring out a higher percentage of bad behavior. To give the majority of you who ARE responsible public land users some ammo, here you go. ). This is the sign we have in the office of our rental store. People think we don't like cleaning dirty Jeeps. That's not it. We clean Jeeps all day long. What we don't like are closed trails. We don't really like blown motors either, but at least those are replaceable- trails are not. 1 Don't go alone. Even whe...

Monday, November 21, 2011. Life of a Sedona Jeep Tour Guide. I've been getting a lot of requests for this one lately- an article I wrote over 10 years ago that was meant to screen potential guides for my then position as a tour company manager. I resisted the urge to edit and update it. The content really applies to almost any position in the 4-wheeling/outdoor industry. Enjoy! Life of a Sedona Jeep Tour Guide. Do you think you want to be a Jeep tour guide? The key to ongoing success as a tour guide is t...

Trailwise: April 2014
http://trailwiseusa.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. Easter Jeep Safari 2014 in Moab was bigger than ever. The weather was beautiful and many of the official trail runs were full to maximum capacity, making all the trails busy with both official and unofficial runs. Considering just how busy the trails were, I was impressed by how well most people cooperated and showed respect for both the trails and other users. MOST people. When the official again informed them that this would be illegal during Safari, they told him “We̵...

Trailwise: Humble Pie
http://trailwiseusa.blogspot.com/2014/12/humble-pie.html
Monday, December 15, 2014. Flat towing back to the parking lot. You can see the small ruts alongside the road- that is what I hit at 30 mph that was the last straw. Even when I am teaching, I learn something new every day. This is a good thing! I encourage clients to always look for the learning opportunity—no one ever “arrives” to where they know everything. We can always find new knowledge and continue growing. A noise I had been attempting to eliminate without success. Greta, loaded up for the trip.

Trailwise: May 2010
http://trailwiseusa.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 1, 2010. That should get everyone's attention! D What I am actually referring to is the overuse of the term "off road" as opposed to "off highway", "off pavement", or "4-wheeling". For as long as I can remember, the recreational sport of 4-wheeling has been called "off-roading", as in "Hey, y'all, let's load up the Jeep and spend the weekend offroading! Somewhere along the way, the legal definition of "OFF road" came to mean when you are NOT on an established public thoroughfare. Therefore,...
