May of this year, I had planned on doing the AZ BDR on my way to and from Overland Expo in Flagstaff. When the Expo didn't happen, I was lucky enough to connect with some other like-minded folk and did the Arizona BDR anyway, with a Jeep and 2 dual-sport moto riders. Later, in June, I did New Mexico BDR with another Sprinter van. We had a great time. Instead of copying the writeups, I'll link to the writeups here:

Even though these routes were developed for dual-sport motos, they were totally doable for 4x4s, and were a really fun way to see new places. Next year, we're thinking about the Colorado or Utah BDR, maybe Nevada or Idaho. Or maybe I'll tackle the Continental Divide Trail....
