Pathfinder I
You know it’s something when Jeeps are rare - try being a Nissan. There was only one R50 (a QX4) besides my Pathfinder at NWOR last year. Honestly, I love the variety of vehicles. I’m not knocking Toyota, I recently bought a 2018 4Runner, & I’m quite impressed, so I’m contributing to the monoculture as well...... : ) Unquestionably, longevity has a lot to do with it.

I do the Nissan thing too! I ran the WABDR in my turbo Hardbody. There are sooo many Toyotas. It’s like they are the unofficial sponsor of Overlanding. Haha

Well I had an 97’ LandCruiser before and while I had my Jeep Cherokee. It was a great rig, but thirsty! I bought my wife an 2000’ Nissan Xterra with a manual trans. She loves it. And had a 89’ Nissan Pathfinder, that I drove for the winter, tell I could get my Cherokee fixed. All good platforms to build, just have to choose the one that you like and enjoy! I started out in a 64’ Jeep CJ5, over 40 years ago. Kind of always been a Jeep guy I guess. Benz.
Yeah every time my Rovers break down I miss my Toyota...

My wife and I are planning on leaving Hillsboro, OR around 7am on Thursday and heading up on the east-side via Yakima, WA. I plan on asking to be placed with the NWOB group. We'll be monitoring 146.52 MHz too.

For anyone that knows me, or has done runs. I'll be leaving Spanaway at around 9am (ish).
I expect I will probably take 167 to 18 to 90 to 97. That may change depending on traffic.
I still can't find my CB, and I've not take the time to get my HAM, so I'll be sitting on GMRS channel 20.
I will get the large OB basecamp flag flying as soon as I can!
We'll be around all weekend, I hope to meet more members!

I'll be coming from Spokane with my pup. Not sure if anyone else is coming from my direction yet but I'd be up for a convoy. I'll probably just take US-2 the whole way.

All of you coming from the East side and up HWY 2, on Friday, we can meet up at Mc Donald’s in Leavenworth. Then caravan together up the Chumstick HWY to Plain? Benz.
We should hit Leavenworth by 12 or 12:30, when do you think you will get there?

We will use channel 20 like jdunk up above. See you there! We will have our dogs too so there will be a few stops on the way. Small dogs, small bladders.
