Hello everyone, Priyo from Dacula, GA. very new to this overlanding thing. Interested in some group events or going on trails with other experienced folks and learn something new. as far as rig, currently driving a 2019 RAM 1500, bone stock with mall crawling 22 inch rims and stock tires. so essentially sticking to established campgrounds and forest roads. last week made a trip to Balsam mountain campground in Smoky and ran through some FS roads. its amazing what street tires on a bone stock truck would do. Another trip planned for Oct 16-17 to Cosby campground and exploring the area.

Sunday is November’s edition of Skottles and Bottles at Sweetwater Brewing. Starts at 12, Overlander Hangout and talk rigs. I will be there along with my buddy Josh Pruitt in his lifted ‘20 Forester who is also a OB member. If you’re local to Johns Creek/ Alpharetta/ Duluth, join us at the QT on Old Milton Parkway by 9:40 to roll down to the event!

Thanks so much Jeff for the invite! I really appreciate it. Sunday's from 9:00 to noon I'm at church in Cumming. I'd like to get together though maybe some other time and location. I'm thinking about heading up to Tents and Tires in Hiawassee GA on New Years Day; possibly then?

I know there's an event called Tents & Tires in Hiawassee GA on January 1. Not sure if that's what is being discussed.

I love the "I'm just going to wing it" phrase. I agree.

To be honest, I’ve had this app on my phone for several years now this is the first time I’ve seen people talk, maybe I had my notification set wrong or something but I’m glad to see there’s people using this app 
You're right, I installed the app since day one they launch and notifications is hit and missed.

Glad to see there is some activity. We are hoping to find a community outside of the FB groups which have become more advertising than conversations so happy to meet y'all

Started this thread to find more like minded peeps to discuss our hobby, share ideas, inspire each other, help each other, share Adventures, and possibly get together.
I won't lie that setting up "outings" scares the "BeeGeeZus" out of me because the last time I tried to find a couple peeps to ride with, 45+ rigs showed up which made for a challenging and truthfully not so fun time in the woods hahaha!
Anyway, maybe now that the OB community is growing and this app has been up and running for a bit we can get this North GA OB Community moving.
