Hoosier National Forest meetup

[Overland-Indiana]

I had a great time this past weekend with fellow Overlanders: @MidwestOverlanders, All things Overlanding, Bo Robinson and Adam Stout (I know these guys are members but cant remember their usernames) camping and exploring the Hoosier National Forest. If you are passing thru Indiana, it is worth driving and camping a night or two. Now, for the part we all love: Pictures!!!

I live in Indianapolis and we frequent a little two track in the Charles deem wilderness. Wondering if you could drop a pin or map showing where exactly in the Hoosier national this is at!?

Great looking jeep btw

Also Indianapolis and would love to know where some actual trails are not an offroad park. I didn't know hoosier national forest have any 4X4 trails and I have lived in indana my entire life.

We will be having a Overland Bound - Midwest meet down near there in August...you should come. We may not hit all the trails on that meet but it would be a good time to discuss some of the routes we take and get to know some of the local Overlanders. Here is a pic of me doing a water crossing at a recent meet a few weeks ago down near Yellowwood National Forest. There is all kinds of roads to explore. I don't know if i'd necessarily call them trails, but as you can see some of them can be a little challenging.

I couldn't be following you thru that water crossing but more then willing to do about anything else! Have you set a location?

It isn't usually quite this bad... we had just had a bunch of rain the few days before. I am looking into some locations near Story, IN.

Sounds great, I know a bunch of guys from Indy who would be game for this!

 

[hardtrailz]

I havent heard much mention of Story in years. Should be a fun time

If I'm not out of town in August I may try to make it out. Sounds like it would be a good time.
