Sometimes I miss my paper maps and highlighters...lol of course I say that about CAD software and my old box of manual drafting tools too... might be a sign of being old too.. lol

I agree with @Ubiety that most of us do not use overlanding nav software in cities or for general urban routing, When planning for exploration, there should be some responsibility by the user to make sure you are selecting roads approved for the means of travel you will be using, i.e. car vs...

Welcome to Overland Bound Cesar

We were frustrated with expensive camp tables that were not tall enough and never seemed to be stable, found this lifestyle folding table in Home Depot last year. Its 24x48 inches and folds in half to 24x24x3 inches. adjusts to 3 diferent heights (does not quite hit 36" but we find the 34"...

Been doing the best to tread lightly when travelling and hiking for years, took the course last year as a refresher.

In our book, its not so much where you go, or what roads you travel, but the fact that you just go 'somewhere' simply put 'vehicle based travel' paved or dirt this world has lots to share. Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your travels

Looks like you have a pretty good route, couple of places on there I am going to add for my next visit. Depending on what day you go thru Jackson area, if its a weekend a detour along Moose Wilson Road is well worth it. (closed for construction during the week currently), head west on...

Tom, from personal experience, allways have a portable toilet (folding style w/ bags, or a port-a-potty if you have the space) and a pop up shower/changing room tent along, even on day trips. Just having the ability to quickly create a clean and private bathroom space goes along way with...

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our base camp at the expo and signed in! We enjoyed meeting lots of OB members from across the country, outside of members from the PNW, we visited with folks from North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, California among others. Lots of Overland Bound...

Travis, Sorry we missed you, heard you stopped by while we were out, someone should have directed you to our sign in sheet on the table. We did walk around the south camp area Sat evening but somehow missed you. Hope you had a good time at the Expo, we really enjoyed it and will be back...

Great Photo! love that drive down 97. Hope you had as good a time at the Expo as we did, we met lots of OB folks throughout the weekend.

This weekend may have been a series of poor financial descisions, mistake #1, Brought my wallet to the PNW Expo this weekend, mistake #2 was not leaving it in the Jeep! and #3 was getting two corndogs for the fantasic show price of $20 (they were really good though) lol. The first two...

I love it out here, we live on a smaller drive on island about an hour north of Seattle and I generally try to avoid Seattle itself unless doing the tourist thing with visitors, but there is so much to do here and so many different environments to explore.

I agree with @M Rose about the Raptor/Rhino liner, I did a color matched Raptor liner job on my 2000 WJ Grand Cherokee. Its awesome and the car is a rebuilt total where there are still millions of them around, not likely to have any real value in my lifetime though..lol I have my 1991 F250...

Driving back from the Seattle area, if you want to avoid interstates, a great option is to take Hyw 20 east across the state up near the Canadian border, passes through North Cascades National Park and is very scenic highway. You can take it over to Newport at the eastern side of the state and...

We love that route! the scenery never dissapoints and neither does the wildlife, has seemed to become a bit more 'travelled' when we were up there a year ago.

@grubworm , Its a great idea, we have offered up our driveway and use of our space for people travelling to be able to have a safe place to unload their gear to do some cleaning or use the shop and tools to do repairs and maintenance. getting so hard to find anywhere to do these tasks while on...

For those at the expo, here is our camp location for those that want to stop by and say hello. Three word location: ongoing.monkey.barricades. still have not filled up the campsites near us, should be some for those arriving early am.

For anyone still on their way to the expo, there is still open area around our OB group camp we are near the main entrance and have a US and Overland Bound flag up on a pole, the staff has been great with parking people where they want so far. We're have five rigs so far.

Anyone else get out and give their OB decals a good dirt bath lately? A fun day out exploring BLM land around Christmas Valley, Oregon today. Normally it would be 'In darkness we found camp' but tonight it was tonight it was in darkness we found hotel as we are staying in Redmond ahead of the...
