Southeast Overlanding?

[PaddyWhack]

Hello? Anyone in here?

I'm new to overlanding and looking for adventure! These Southeast region threads seem to be old and not used very often. Wondering if Im on the right app.

Does anyone in the southeast set up trail rides? Weekend trips? Coffee meet & greets? Anything at all really?
Am I in the wrong place to find these things?

Willing to travel great distances and sacrifice body parts.

Any help would be appreciated.

I also have noticed that many of the threads on here are old. I live in North Georgia and camp often in that area. I am retiring in mid August and plan to travel more. In September, my wife and I are heading to Utah/Colorado for a 5-week trip. Then, a few weeks after we return we are headed to Overland Expo East. I will be in Orlando the first couple of weeks in August, maybe we could meet up, I am looking for ideas for a Florida trip.

I’m in SWFLA and I have wondered about this exact thing for a long while. It seems that the interest is not there, except for a few in NC. This forum is the only social media thing I do so I am sure there are fakebook and IG groups. I don’t care about them though.
There are some great tracks this side of the Mississippi but I think the draw is out west. Hence the amount of people chatting. With that mindset, I just decided to just go solo! Georgia traverse, smoky mountain 1000, Kentucky Adventure trail, and many others.

For me, just winging it is more fun, and unpredictable!!
Best of luck and maybe we will meet you on the trail!

This is awesome! My son lives in north Georgia (Gainsville) and I travel there often. I spent May 18-20 last month in Desoto Falls campground at the base of Blood Mountain. Love it there! When you come to Orlando please let me know. Some cool spots near here in Ocala National Forrest to overland/camp. I will likely also be heading to Overland Expo East. Thanks for reaching out.

Awesome. Thanks for reaching out! I also don't mind just heading out there. I'm finishing the Florida Adventure Trail now and then maybe the Georgia Traverse. I love it up in N. Georgia. Be safe out there.
