Pretty sure that I mentioned this once but my neighbor, an engineer for Cat, bought one. Car was a royal POS.

I've done stuff like that on the Langster which has 25s.
Also hit some surprise rooty single track (abandoned footpath). Not recommended.

My wife had a 2012 Prius V that got a steady 45 mpg. The funny thing was we got caught in a 8 mile long 5 mph jam up south of Charleston one time. Because the car was creeping along on the batteries, the mpg went up a couple mpg. She was making mpg barely moving.

You and I have different experiences, no doubt. I have not done any true "blue water" sailing like you have. I might have experiences similar to yours if I did. The only offshore sailing I have done has been between Virgin Gorda and Annegada (30'er and 12' seas both ways), and St. Thomas and St. Croix (flat on the way over and "sporty" on the way back on a 52' cat).

Lilly is having some weird poops (green/mucous-y) and a little GI discomfort so the pediatrician wants Liz to cut out dairy for a couple weeks and then try to ween it back in slightly. I guess a lot of kids grow out of it by 6 months (we're at 4) but we need to eliminate for a bit.
I put some canned unsweetened coconut milk in her coffee this morning instead of half and half, and did mine as well. And I kinda like it.

The track in BAM's pictures don't look bad at all. Easier on your mind if you don't clip in. I'm not sure there is a good reason to clip in off road anyways since not pro.

Yeah seems like they took a step backwards from the Geo Metro - similar mpg but less room. If diesel prices ever get back to parity with regular gas maybe that would make sense again but probably won't happen.
Late 80s/early 90s Corolla hatch would probably be my go-to for such a project and I did see one in PHX once but didn't snap a pic of it. Slam the seats forward and they're pretty comfortable to sleep in.
Every now and then I see a wagon I like but MPG is usually just barely better than the minivan but a major reduction in room.

I would often see an old guy with neat / small Toyota awd wagon at a local flea market - was hoping to get it from him if he would sell but was not interested in parting with it
seedsbelize2 seeds has a Honda Fit - I see bikes and all sorts of items stuffed in those cars … seem roomy for small car

A while back I was having foot trouble and I put road pedals on the mtb and used some old road shoes. Once moving it was fine but getting started on a steep dirt section was a problem. Not to mention walking in terrain with Look cleats on plastic soles.

I'm all in favor of coffee for kids. Many of them will get actually get groggy when you give them stimulants. Saw this with my daughter when she was trying to get dive certified at age 10 or 11 and couldn't equalize. We loaded her with pseudoephedrine to try to open her Eustachian tubes and she got drowsy slept for 24 hrs. Kids will also get hyperactive on sedatives. They have funny little brains.
