Adventure Adjacent is my slow-lane project about finding adventure in the margins: back roads, gravel pull-offs, and the driveway.

Hi Fediverse, I’m Mike, and this is Adventure Adjacent.

This account is for the project: stories, photos, and videos from a well-used 2007 FJ Cruiser, my dog Hugo in the back seat, and all the “almost home” adventures that happen on the way to the grocery […]

Replay is up from this morning’s Pure Rock Crawling stream (solo, ~1h07m). I built the game’s totally-not-licensed rig to look/feel like a classic FJ40: leaf springs, solid axles, stock-ish height, and old tires for maximum “period correct” struggle.

We […]

#Danzig 's #DirtyBlackSummer was my first choice, but #Gravenhurst 's #Diane, a #HüskerDü cover, won the race.

Close your eyes, listen and feel how this monster gets under your skin.

Beware! It’s much gloomier than the original.

Six hours. A couple coffee breaks. A couple “see a man about a horse” breaks. And one absolutely predictable lie I told myself at least ten times:

“Just one more load.”

Anyway...

We’re 15 minutes out.
8:30 AM ET start time. ATS, classic 351 Pete 389, Coca-Cola Santa trailer, and the kind of calm highway pacing that only exists until the first on-ramp merge.

Happy Holidays, folks.
Tomorrow (Fri) at 8:30 AM ET, I’m going live with American Truck Simulator and the classic 351 Peterbilt 389 dressed up in the Coca-Cola Santa livery, like a faded postcard from a cozier timeline.

Borrowed this from someone on another account who borrowed it from Howard Thurman

when the star in the sky is gone,
when the kings and princes are home,
when the shepherds are back with their flocks, the work of Christmas begins:
to find the lost,

Scotland reserve first run ✅ (and wow, this map is gorgeous).
Tested the bait barrel + electronic caller setup and it paid off fast: I bagged a fallow deer at 45 yards with a clean double-lung, one-shot hit.

Boar… not so much 😅 I had a pack of six in front […]
