(Tom Gamache for Wandering Around Outdoors Photo Workshops)

Have you ever had a buddy whose chest puffed out as he told you about how his favorite car — the first new one he ever bought — had just hit 200,000 miles on the odometer?

If so, Tom Gamache’s 1972 Chevy Blazer might cut him down to size. It has reached 1.5 million miles.

Matt Jaffe wrote about the truck — and the road trips he and Gamache have taken in it — for the November issue of Arizona Highways.
