Check-Ins

Hartman Rocks McCabe Entrance (take Hwy 32 turn). Less people than on the entrance closer to Gunnison. Road less confusing and very little washboards. Quiet, clean, safe. Take a slight left at the Y (1.5 mi back), which is immediately after the 3rd cattle-guard). .85 mi from Y to M6 on the left. 1 bar off and on T-Mobile with booster. Only stayed one night, but would stay again. Some dirt bikes earlier, but quiet when I chose my sure and quiet in the morning. Tables and a fire ring. Pretty flat. Starlink said it was a decent spot, but I didn’t end up setting it up as it was dark. A handful of sites for big rigs with a big rig turn around at 9-10 sites in (just as a dirt road turns left). Lots of mountain biking and dirt bike routes. Motorcycle Terrain Park just after the Y.

I paid only 10Bs for 21L. Strange.
Really nice lady, water tastes fresh and clean without this plastic stench.

Really pretty spot! There’s this one and another one down just a bit further that you can pull even farther into (though it might be harder to get level). This one feels pretty tucked in and it’s very level. The forest is beautiful and very quiet. One OHV drove by twice a bit before sunset but saw no one else.
The road in wasn’t bad at all. Definitely narrow, but easily done in our 2wd Chevy Express.
2 bars Verizon, enough for texts and internet.
Someone did take a nice ol #2 right at the edge of the site and buried it along with their TP under some rocks and a log (still very visible). Reminder to dig a hole away from camp for your poops :)

We didn't really like Valley Canyon Place. We drove further up the gravel road and turned right into the terrain after the crest. Some rubbish, nice sunset. View of Beyneu. Muddy for sure during or after rain. Better you have 4x4 and high clearance.

Really worth a visit, very interesting and they show you quite some things. You even go inside the dam and can drive on top of the dam with your own vehicle.
We had a tour at 9 am, it was only the two of us. Also available at 2 pm.
Still 30 pp.

So lovely taking a hot shower! Followed the instructions posted and had no issues.

Such a great spot! So nice that that town provides this. Free but you can donate to help the town maintain the site. Views of the water on two sides. Incredibly quiet -except for waves crashing on the shore. Great cell service and even picnic tables.

Nice Hotel in the Center of the City people are very friendly! It’s highly recommended because you have a big parking place area there also fit big Rig s in the center of the city! It’s not cheap, but it has good price relation 60.- us for four people in big rooms with two big beds ! Very good for family ….breakfast included!
Big entrance about 4 m high, so big rig enters easily see foto whatsup number + 595983419616

Good laundry in the center you bring your clothes there and they deliver at your hotel in the city center later, when they finish washing 35.000,- guaraníes 12 pieces Sunday it’s closed

A good overnight option and much quieter than the ones in town 50km to the west of here. When we were here they didn’t have fuel so don’t count on being able to fill up.

Large gravel lot behind gas station. Stayed 1 night with many trucks and campers. I70 road noise but nothing else.

decent overnight spot overall. the view is a 10, but the entire street is so angled that it was impossible to get the van flat enough that we could sleep comfortably, even with leveling blocks. might not be an issue for those who don't have back issues.

went to the Police Dept first and got an RV permit, which is free. took all of 5 minutes. no issues.

Best mechanics I've found so far on my trip. they take time to inspect everything they touch and perform every work with great attention to detail. Everything gets cleaned, greased and tightened to spec. very knowledgeable. Familiar with big bikes and overland set ups.
a little bit hard to find at first. located underneath the "Asian pharmaceuticals".

There are plenty of small Shops along the main road in town. Butchery Takeaway and groceries. Limited choice but enough to get going.

Still under construction. Camping is 100KW pp. Shower Toilets very basic. Charles available. 120KW pp. Bar with cold drinks. No food / restaurant.

doesn't exist anymore. big sign that says closed and the place looks a bit run down.

A AD garage that help a lot for changing a siwel joints and bearing. The owner, Juhani, is really nice and helpful and ready to help for anything.

Moz to Zim: We crossed mid afternoon on a Friday. Approaching the border there was a solid line of container trucks for about five kilometers. We just went by them. When you get to within one to two kilometers of the border there is a divided road with a concrete meridian. If trucks are still filling the left hand side make sure you go around on the right (We had to climb over the meridian It wasn't pretty).

Moz side -getting closer to the actual gate you just have to fight your way through the big trucks, lots of fixers asking to help but they can't really do much. Paperwork simple, stamped out passports, they did not check our TIP. $10 road tax payment cash USD only. 20-30 mins in line then 10 mins with officials.

Zim side also fairly simple but slow (90 mins) One building has the immigration and customs offices. $30 US cash for each visa- US passports. We don't have a Carnet, we had filled out the TIP application online in advance which made it easy and quick. Charged $50 total, receipt says $10 private vehicle fee, $10 carbon tax, $30 required national insurance.

Grocery store with deli, fresh and canned or frozen food, hardware, outdoor stuff

We applied for our Russian transit visa here. The process was easy.
1) book appointment at www.tashkent.kmid.ru/Default.aspx
2) Fill in the application form; visa.kdmid.ru
3) Take copies of passports, vehicle passports, Russian insurance, and driver's licence to the appointment. These were not translated into Russian, but they still took them. You need to pay in UD$. The notes need to be unmarked and newer than 2006. The cost was US$160 for the fast track (3 day visa). Cost is less for the visa that could take up to 20 days.

We drove one street north of the access street to this spot which also leads to the beach. Met really friendly locals there who showed us where we could park far enough away from the waves but still right on the beach and not obstructing their beach shacks. Delicious ceviche in their restaurant Caballito de Mar!

Adjacent to the river 10 miles out of Haines, Alaska

Nice overnight spot in a park by the lake. No signs regarding hours. Picnic tables, bathrooms, playground and walking trails. Very quiet.

Hot shower felt good!!!! 5$ still. pool was closed for Maintenance. nice pholks!!!

While looking for the „entry“ to the other wild spot we found this space. Although it’s dry right know we would recommend 4x4 to reach this spot. If you don’t have 4x4, you might not be able to get around / behind the hills, but you you will definitely will find a flat spot closed to the tiny road. To reach this spot you have to „pass it“ first, and then follow the next tracks on the left and make your way back / around the hill.

belle place pour vidanger et remplir réservoir

GE to AM —> I crossed at 9am by motorbike. Incredibly smooth, by 9.30 I was in Armenia.
Comments from previous posts remain valid. I’d like to share I was not required to pay for the TIP, I guess reason is because I was by motorbike. The ATM at the roundabout was out of order, but I found another one after 300m.

Huge site before you hit main campground area. Pulled in late after checking availability on site but not able to reserve after hours, I think there is a 3 day prior to reserve online.
