Hello William (@wmontaney ), welcome from Oklahoma.
I also see you are a ham, here at OB we have a weekly Friday night Echolink net and would like to have you join us.

If you don't have a repeater nearby capable of connecting to those nodes that's ok, many of us use the Echolink app anyways.

Hi All,
I'm Shan and my wife is Janet, and we are based on the southern edge of London. We have been into vehicle dependent travel for a few years but haven't been far enough afield to call ourselves experienced overlanders yet. I was due to take a 6-8 week sabbatical this year before the whole world fell to pieces which would have been the first chance for a "proper" trip, but we'll see how that pans out. So far the furthest we've been in the truck is Corsica (pictured left)
For about 7 years we have been running a 1997 ex-military Land Rover Defender 90 "Wolf" called Smiffy (those who grew up in the UK in the 70s/80s will get the joke) which is a fantastic piece of kit, massively stronger than a standard civilian one. Recently we invested in a 2009 Defender 110 called Bilbo which we have had professionally converted with an Alucab roof and fully fitted out interior, to which I managed to get the finishing touches done just in time to go into lockdown, but we still can't bring ourselves to sell Smiffy which will go back to military spec over time.
Looking forward to meeting up with the Europe members (and eventually many more) when the madness passes!!

Beautiful vehicles!
Can‘t to hear more about your adventures. Be safe out there.

It took me moving to Missouri to realize I actually do enjoy the outdoors. Started my venture in truck camping with my 2006 F150 supercrew. Then down sized to a nissan altima. And with the downsize no longer had room for storage or off road capabilities. Picked up a nissan murano and now with a gazelle T4 tent and my camping gear, my murano gets me to places just off the beaten path. If I would describe it, I'd say I am more of a soft roader than off roader. But glad to be a part of the overlanding community.

Welcome to the club and as stated, I am probably your closest rep...you have some beach and sand to play on there on the shore, I am still getting to know the DC/MD/VA area in terms of overlanding but will be hosting some meetups as soon as the states start opening up again.

Thank you very much,
Is NorCal the closet for meeting up and my Member Representative?
Being that i am in San Diego I would assume that there would be meetups down here and closer representatives. But never assume.
