Butte was by far the largest city - or town, if you ask @mrs.turbodb - that we'd pass through on the Montana Backcountry Discovery Route (MTBDR). Being the hub between Stage 2 and Stage 3 was nice, as it meant that anyone who had run into trouble on the first couple of stages could… ## [Virginia City to Butte - History on Display | MTBDR #2](https://adventuretaco.com/virginia-city-to-butte-history-on-display-mtbdr-2/) _2026-07-30 · turbodb · AdventureTaco_ Virginia City - a self-described ghost town; full of living people. After surviving the sloppy descent into Virginia City, we wasted no time in fueling up and getting back on the road. We'd covered significantly less ground than we'd planned to on the first day of the Montana Backcountry Discovery Route (MTBDR), and @mrs.turbodb had informed me that we would need to cover 200 miles per day from… ## [Island Park to Virginia City - Mud, Snow, and Motorcycles Only | MTBDR #1](https://adventuretaco.com/island-park-to-virginia-city-mud-snow-and-motorcycles-only-mtbdr-1/) _2026-07-27 · turbodb · AdventureTaco_ It's summer, and that means it's time for our annual run at another BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route). We've been doing these for a decade now, and - at least for the western states' routes - we're starting to run out of options! Luckily, the good folks over at RideBDR must have a sixth sense about these kinds of things, because just a few weeks before our departure, they released what they called… ## [Rig Review - Summer 2026](https://adventuretaco.com/rig-review-summer-2026/) _2026-07-23 · turbodb · AdventureTaco_ I have been sorely lacking in my rig reviews as of late.

That's a good thing, I think. We've had it since we started this whole adventure thing, now almost exactly a decade ago. It's performed well during that time, and though I've often lusted after something GFC-ish, I can't say that the tent has ever let us down in any way that a much more expensive camper would have solved. In fact, there are really only three features I've found… ## [My Door Handle Broke!](https://adventuretaco.com/my-door-handle-broke/) _2026-07-16 · turbodb · AdventureTaco_ TL;DR - My 26-year-old door handle finally broke, and I've replaced it with a metal one.

Nowhere on that list has been any of the stock lighting. Over the years, I've taken care of the most prominent offenders.
