    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    I just joined a TAT group on Facebook and there’s some people doing the trail and documenting their travels and even plotting way points on Gaia. A little insight on what to expect. Seems like a good crew is getting assembled here. Should be a good time. Like you guys just stated as the date...

    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    I know some families that recently moved from Alaska and drove through Canada. You’re correct they gave them a route and an expected completion time. They beat that time of course but I can talk to them if they know of any differences between leisure travel vs mandatory movement. Update. They...

Unfortunately didn’t do as much of section 4 as we wanted, we will have to do it again. But the class iv roads weren’t too bad. We had a...

    North East Backcountry Discovery Route

    I know it’s last minute. If anyone wants to join let me know. I plan on doing section 4 this Saturday. I’ve heard on this leg some of the class iv sections are intense, we’re going to take it easy and most likely bypass those. We will be camping in a dispersed campsite Saturday night and...

    US East Fall Rigs and Coffee - New Jersey

    I need to venture outside of NJ. So many areas in the northeast to discover, it feels overwhelming. The different cultures and history in each state is something I would like to experience more of. Actually, to be honest. It’s the local beer and local ice cream I’m looking for.

    This is some good information, since I'll be in New Hampshire October 16-18, I just booked a campsite for a those days at Jericho Mountain State Park. It looks like they have a few more available. How close are you guys to there? What sort of trails are in the area? I heard there are some...

    Military Decal?

    I get verification is important but if I ever see someone with a "special edition veteran OB" plaque and they aren't a veteran it would be pretty easy to call them out on this forum. If they request one and aren't then we can treat it as an OB "stolen valor". 19.5 year Active duty Air Force...

    Overland Bound Geocache General Discussion

    This is my first OB post. I’ve been geocaching off and on for a few years and I love this idea. My thoughts...why make it a competition? Overlanding is about the journey not the destination correct? I’ve spent hours looking for a little plastic container just so I can log my name only to give...
