    Arizona Overlanders

    @MoreGone this is a parking lot meetup taking place between 9am and noon-ish in Tucson, AZ at Sentinel Peak, A.K.A. "A Mountain". There will be no event in Phoenix/Mesa. I assume all the convoys are people coordinating to drive down to Tucson. If you are unable to attend due to the wedding...

    Post a pic, make a new photo challenge!

    So many abandoned buildings and mines around where I live, probably my favorite is the Sibley Mansion. It's the remote ruins of a 20 room mansion that was built as a mining investment scam at the very beginning of the 1900s. Really interesting place I'll keep this going as well, show us...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    DHL just dropped of my latest purchase, a custom European plate for the front of my JKU. I've been wanting to put something fun up there (front plates are not required here in AZ) so i thought a custom euro-style plate with my OB member number would be neat. Next purchase is going to be plywood...
