Welcome to the community Michael! Like Neal said we've got a great active group here. What kind of trails/trips are y'all primarily interested in? Hopefully we can meet up soon either on trail or on a trip sometime!

Hey there,
We have been off roading, camping, fishing, hunting, and exploring wonderful Colorado. Of course through many non rock crawling vehicles like my old Trail duster (yep, that old) and a number of trucks. Now we live in Castle Rock and finally bought our 2018 JLU Rubicon and it has really opened our eyes to what is possible. Only two kids left in our house plus two furry monsters.

Nice to have you along Willy, I keep going back and forth about whether i should have gotten a JT, my bank account probably thanks me that i didnt. What kind of trails have you done locally, whats your comfort level etc, we would love to have you join us out on trail!

Outside of the overlandbound website its what alot of our more active members use for communicating, planning excursions etc.

I'm down for just about anything. Whatever I feel my Rig is capable of I'll do. I grew up wheeling with my dad and all his crazy buddies. It's pretty much ingrained into my DNA. Lol

Hi everyone, just moved to Canon CIty CO from the Central Valley of California. I miss the Sierra Nevadas but am really looking forward to exploring up in the Rockies and getting to know folks through OB.

Nice! I lived up in Grass Valley and Sacramento for awhile while I was stationed at Beale. Loved the Sierras! Welcome to Colorado!

Welcome! I'm just down the road from you here in Pueblo West.
Sadly, the high mountain season is coming to a close, but let me know when you have some time and we'll put together a local trip. I need an excuse to get out!

Thanks everyone!
Nothing to crazy for us, we have an Excursion since we have 5 kiddos. It is a great rig but not the most agile. So nothing to tight but otherwise we are up for most things. Usually we like to do weekend trips, and just go check out dirt roads we come across and stop for anything cool we come across. We are not the fastest but we have fun. I also have a couple of bikes so for solo trips it's a lot more flexible.

That'd be great. We just moved in so we are still getting house stuff settled and life back into some sort a routine but once that's done it sounds like fun.
Also I'd be curious if you know much about an Ham radio clubs/repeaters in the area I should be trying to reach out to. Got my license last year but haven't had a lot of opportunity to get a lot of experience with it.

There's the Royal Gorge Ham Club and Pueblo West Amateur Radio Club. I have been very active in the latter in the past, but have drifted away in the last year or so.
The 145.490 is the primary repeater of the Royal Gorge Club. I believe they still have a daily morning ragchew.
Next try the 447.975 and/or 447.250. The owner, K0JSC, is a friend. You can see his tower just to the west of WalMart. They have an amazing linked system. Listen there at 12:15 PM daily for a weather net.
I was trying to paste a repeater list, but OB doesn't like it. I'll follow with a screen shot from my phone.
