Number 26: July/August 2020 is HERE!

Issue Number 26 – TREAD July/August 2020

The July/August 2020 issue is hitting stands. You won’t want to miss this family-packed issue. With terrific tales of travels with kids, road schooling tips, gear to help make your camping trip more fun, and even travel tips from Rogue Overland and Outbound Overland, our contributors this issue really hit the nail on the head. And family isn’t just about the young kids, Richard Giordano brings the Grand Canyon to life visually while Ashley tells the tale of a memorable trip with her father. We also see how Ken Hoglund brings his dad and hid kids along on his adventures. Family is what it’s all about and summer is the time we get some extra hours with the ones we love most.

Plus, you won’t want to miss the inside scoop on the new Land Rover Defender tested out in Namibia. And if you’re an event fan, you won’t want to miss the coverage of the Mint 400, the Rainforest Challenge and the 2020 Alcan 5000 inside these pages.

Enjoy the issue and enjoy your loved ones, young to old.
