It’s easy to assume that the Rubicon Trail would be an overrated experience. It’s the most iconic off-road trail in America, the hub of West Coast rock crawling culture, an iconic trim line on a “lesser 4x4,” and the wistful dream of every serious off-roader. Could it really be that great when it’s become entirely saturated in the 4x4 world? Over four days with the Northern California Land Rover Club on their annual “Rovicon” event, my answer is the opposite: the Rubicon is one of the most underrated and authentic off-road experiences in America.

On November 12-13, Land Rover will host Destination Defender, a "celebration of the Defender lifestyle" in New York's Hudson Valley. The weekend event for Land Rover owners and enthusiasts will involve everything from camping to music to adventure activities, with a wrap-up announcing the Defender Service Awards winner.

Every day, somewhere around 16 veterans of the United States Armed Forces take their own lives, struggling with depression, PTSD, injuries, and re-integrating into civilian life; many more live battling these challenges. In 2017, troubled by this statistic and looking to do something tangible to help, retired Navy SEAL Brian Ribera founded Military Mobility, a non-profit which takes veterans on structured multi-day 4x4 trips into the American backcountry, with the goal of coming out of the adventure having experienced genuine personal growth.

The late Queen Elizabeth II had a long history with Land Rovers, with her seventy-year reign lasting for almost the entirety of the company’s history. The Royal Family and Land Rover have had a long and fruitful partnership, with the monarch and family kept in Rovers since King George VI was given the hundredth 80” Series I in 1948. The Queen had many Land Rovers over her long life, but there are a few with which she is most associated.

Since the late Queen Elizabeth II’s first tour of the Commonwealth in 1953-54, she used Land Rover vehicles in many official parades and ceremonies.

This issue of Roverlog is a tribute to HM Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away on September 8th at the age of 96 after seventy years on the throne.

This week, we pay tribute to The Queen and look at some of the Land Rovers that have been most closely tied to her for the past seven decades.
