Hello. I’m in the Ingersoll area. Grew up here and fewer and fewer level Bs to be found. But some good drives around St Charles Winterset area. Nothing crazy but makes for relaxing weekend outing.
There’s a lot of Jeep clubs around. I drive an overland Land Rover Discovery so I don’t really seem to fit in with the local Jeep member events and outings.

I’m off of 42nd street so close by. The Des Moines 4x4 group is a fun spot for folks who don’t fit in to other groups. It’s not very formal, but they do some good stuff

Andrew here in DSM checking in for the first time. I’m no newbie to off-roading or adventure but mainly kept it on two wheels or had vehicles that were more dedicated to rock crawling. This last year I decided to start building out a more dedicated overlanding rig. Excited to get going on the build out and hopefully have some meet ups in the future. If you see me on the road, give a wave.

Current starting point is a 2020 Launch Edition Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.The new rsi smartcap is hella nice and just been drawing up plans all winter for the internal build out. Starts tomorrow with my Genesis dual battery install.

Hello Mike, we hope you are well. We are putting together some outings, we would love to get a rigs and coffee going or a trip or two. We are scheduled to get our covid shots, feeling better about getting out to do something. The Dragoon trail is just one on our list. We are making some upgrades to the trailer as soon as we get a couple things delivered. I am also doing a workshop for the State of Iowa the last weekend of April at Wesley Woods in Indianola. Drop us a shout when you can .
Take care
Joe & Sally

We are heading out tomorrow for a trip but when we get back we would love to have an outing at our place or most anywhere.

Don here. Moving back to Hancock County from Dodge City this month. Regardinging your original post, I am a ham operator and would like to see some net activity. Well, after I get my shack up. Still looking for my overland rig, a GX470. Maybe after this move I will have more time and motivation.

It almost feels like we are back to a “normal” life, praying it is as COVID has changed us….

Kind Regards and 73 ya’ll
