Wide Open Roams

A dirt road running through a grassy field, with a vehicle carrying a motorcycle in the back, surrounded by forested mountains and a partly cloudy sky.

Home Is Where the Roam Is

Welcome to Wide Open Roams, where we’re chasing adventure in our EarthRoamer LTS 192. We’re Jacob and Elissa—entrepreneurs and full-time road dwellers—exploring the country one backroad at a time. What started as a way to travel while managing our real estate properties turned into a full-time lifestyle, blending work, adventure, and off-grid living. Whether we’re parked in the mountains, the desert, or by the coast, we’re sharing the highs, lows, and lessons of life on the road.

I had no idea a place like this existed in Oregon...because most people never make the choice to find out. We pushed deeper into the Owyhee Discovery Trail, and what we found at the end changed how we think about remote travel entirely. The Owyhee Canyonlands are one of the most remote stretches of the American West and the Discovery Trail is the road most people never finish. It's narrow. It's unmaintained. It's the kind of trail where turning around isn't always an option. We pointed the EarthRoamer into it anyway. In this video, we navigate deep into the Owyhee backcountry, threading through Leslie Gulch, climbing onto the high desert rim, and facing the exact kind of logistical tension that makes overland travel in an EarthRoamer genuinely risky. The question we kept asking: Is going somewhere this remote actually worth it?
