Good afternoon fellow OB members!!
I'm brand new to the community, just joined 10 minutes ago!

I'm from Tacoma, Wa , born and raised so naturally I've spent a lot of time out in nature and have developed a strong appreciation for anything outdoors !
One of my favorite pastimes is just finding new forest service or logging roads that I have never been down and simply exploring the wilds!
I have always camped, hiked and backpacked but I only really discovered what overlanding was about 7 years ago and have been stuck on the idea since and I am finally to a point in my life where I can start building my vehicle ( a 1992 Ford Explorer Sport) for overland trips.
I'd say that I'm a novice overlander but I have a good friend who is realizing his overland dreams at the same time so we can start this as a team!!
I have a ten year old daughter who iam very excited to get involved as well!!
