So many people laughed to themselves at the notion

So many people laughed to themselves at the notion of my idea. To take a beat up, Honda All Wheel Drive Element ready for the scrap yard, repair, it, customize it and get her ready to cross thousands of miles in 6 days. To take her through the back country of the traverse, and call her our base camp.

I will not lie when I state that the idea was very far fetched, I myself questioned it. However let it be said that an idea fueled by passion, by a thought and above all else determination will remove all doubts. Because such an idea is empowered by a vision that drove the idea to become reality. It required a focus and a will to see it through. Now surely it may be no great feat to many, but to me it was an accomplishment.

Even though I did not complete all the modifications I had hoped for, it was a start. A start to many future adventures with my family, a start to the foundation of an empire of memories.

Now mind you, I did not do this to get recognition nor praise, but to prove a point to myself. Life is indeed an adventure, every step we take defines our existence. Every mile we cross shows us the beauty of living and makes us come to terms that there is far more than we imagined.

I do this to inspire people to get off the couch and start your own adventure. To live, to explore, to discover nature and a part of yourself. Do not wait until you become too old to hike, nor to see places few travel too. Life is within your grasp and fingertips, do it now before you are too old to do it later.

Start with a vision and allow it to take you wherever it may take you. Take plenty of photos and videos, inspire a world even if it may be one person at a time.

What makes a man traverse thousands of miles and l

What makes a man traverse thousands of miles and leave his family behind? What makes a man drop all sense of reasoning, and leave the sanity of comfort to be set adrift in the wild? What makes a man ignore the doubts and negative comments of others who disagreed with his journey?

What makes a man do this?

It is the serenity of nature, the call of the wild, the beauty yet to behold, and the beckoning of his God. It is the hypnotic tones of his soul that yearns to be free of the madness of society. It is a deep spiritual vibration that tells him to soar, to fly and to be free from the shackle of our mundane lives.

We have arrived at the start of the Georgia Traverse that spans across four states through rivers, streams and back country paths. Where we will end up we do not know, but alas it is the journey that will define us.

Crashed at a Loves gas station last night. The element has been true to use and with a double mattress, sleep was awesome. The Eletent by rain dean proved to be a huge asset once I was told how to install it correctly. We got back on the road at 6am, heading to the start of the Georgia Traverse. Thanks to our supporters @hrgoffroad @elementdriven @og_fabrications @blackrhinowheels. We did not get our rims on time, but black rhino has us for the next one. #elementaldays #elementroadtrip #georgiatraverse

Sun going down soon, a few hours of night driving then finding a campsite in Georgia to crash. In the morning we will continue as there is no rush.
Thanks you to @hrgoffroad @elementdriven and @og_fabrications #hondaelement #elementaldays #elementcamping #Elementadventures #elementcamper

Hit the round northward bound to South Carolina to do the Georgia Traverse and to shoot photos and videos with my best friend from across the globe. He comes every year to partake of adventure. Stay tune for some good content. Thanks @hrgoffoad and @og_fabrications for the sponsored goodies. #elementadventure #elementcamping #elementaldays

ACS Vent Shades, looking for the right set that allows you to open the rear windows? AVS is the way to go, I included the part number in my photos. One of my back ones came a little warped, but I got it to work. #avsventshades #hondaelementstyle #hondaelementbuild #elementaldays #elementcamper #elementcamping

Counting the days before we hit the road on our overland adventure. Cameras are ready, GoPro 10 set and gear almost there. 7 days of back country overland via the Georgia Traverse and beyond. But for now I will enjoy a slice of heaven from my backyards. #elementaldays #honda element #elementcamping #elementcamper #overlanding #hittheroadjack
