Overlanding during the Lockdown?



Do you travel local in your country during the lockdown?

We was aware of a ban on going out - and had the plan to leave into the nature before. Working in Homeoffice (like most of us in Switzerland has to) - works too in the nature. Solarcells give enough power to use two Notebooks and a Smartphone during the day.

Fortunately the curfew dont get reality..

So we just leaving severall days for a while. We did not use the roof box and side awning - to get less attention when entering the nature.

What we did: Overlanding during the Lockdown

Social distancing is probably better compared to staying at home.

Sorry for the tinkered awning... There is a translate Icon on the right side of the Blog.

Do you also travel during these times? Or even it is allowed to do in your country?

Second that! The more you know, the less you need. Besides, many fancy awnings are stuck between the office and Nordstrom.

Unfortunately, many roads within state/national parks have closures so they restrict our freedom to travel. For example, Anza-Borrego has lots of wide open spaces where people could be 6 miles, not 6 feet apart, but it's hard to determine if the way to them are closed.

We did it again :-) This time with awing, what we don`t use often... On the way back we got near stuck in a snow storm at 2300 @ Flüelapass - so we had an additional night in the snow.

It looks like a Milka chocolate ad, you only have to paint those cows purple.
