    I love that last photo! The wagon looks great.

    Steve's Cross-Country Subaru Outback

    Yea, I drove it for seven years stock, spent a bunch of time/money on it last year, and then decided to change. Last year was the first time since having kids 28 years ago that Deb and I got to take a vacation by ourselves. And having just discovered Overland Bound last spring, I decided to...

    Mt. Rushmore over Memorial week

    Nice trip! In Hill City, did you go to Prairie Berry Winery? I'd seen enough signs for Red Ass Rhubarb that I had to stop, as I love rhubarb. We ended up having a case sent home. :) It looks like you had a bunch of great places to go with kids. And driving 16A and the state park road are...

    Who Planted the seed for you to be an OverLander (Pic/stories)

    I was a Boy Scout as a kid, and grew up on my grandfather's farm. So being outside, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, etc. was just normal for a kid in the '60s. My Dad was a teacher, and worked in a factory in the summer to make enough money to make it through the year, so we never took a...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Yes, I did adjust them down, but haven't taken it out back to get a new photo. I'll try to remember to do that tonight if it isn't raining. Actually, it might be interesting to see how it looks in the rain, too! I still wouldn't want to use them on the street. They are so bright, I don't see...

    The Adventure Wagon: A 2004 Volvo XC70 Overland Build

    Fantastic! This is exactly the stuff that Overland Bound is here for; vehicle dependent adventure, without bias toward the means to get there. Your goals for the XC70 seem very similar to mine with my Subaru Outback build [LINK] and I think they would both fit this role admirably. I don't think...

    OB Watches

    My wife got mine for me for an anniversary many years back. My Dad had a Seamaster from the '50s, and I'd always wanted one. I now have his, too, but rarely wear it. Prior to the Omega, I had 40-some years of Timex watches, all with blue faces.

    @JamesKuL That muddy photo can't be in Georgia, else the Jeep would be permanently stained red! :laughing: Welcome aboard!

    Ummm, I didn't write this! Some error in the database? Who's comment is this that somehow was attributed to me? @Michael I just changed my password for good measure.

    Please note: This is actually a post by @BPD53 which somehow was attributed to me. Michael is looking into what happened. ~Steve I have had good luck with Grape Solar and Renogy Solar. I have also had good luck with Morningstar Charge Controllers. I currently have: Three 100 Grape solar...

    CB Radio (merged thread)

    @stringtwelve Embedded Amazon links do not show up for several of us for some reason, which is why @CQBSquirrel couldn't see it. @Michael has looked at it before, but no joy. For us it just shows a a big blank space. Here's direct link: http://amzn.to/1sQlz8J (For those of us that can't see...

    A Check In/Out Thread

    Let me play devil's advocate here, for a bit. The idea is to post an itinerary with emergency contact info. If I don't check in at a given time, someone here contacts my emergency contact and tells them I'm not back when I said I would. Clear enough. Why wouldn't I simply tell my emergency...
