Hi Everyone!

My name is Dave, aka PapaDave, and the Inland Northwest Adventure Group had
an amazing 2025 going on 19 trips.
For 2026 you are invited!

It really doesn’t matter what you drive as long as your vehicle is as capable as you need it to be. There really isn’t a perfect vehicle or set up so we choose to not get hung up on how outfitted your vehicle is, what’s important is that your vehicle is prepared and capable to tackle the trail you want to explore.

A little about me, I have now coordinated 3 different regional meet ups over the last 8 years and have organized over 50 Overland Bound trips. With that said I’ll be the first to admit I still have so much to learn! I’ve had the fortune to call Michael (OLB Founder) and Kent (Executive Director) my friends and have witnessed first-hand their desire to see people find adventure out on the trail. Below is a link to a video Michael did about my rig, I share it as I find it helps to put a face to someone when we are meeting new people. I’m pretty much a dork in the video, and well, in person too.

Adventure is necessary so let’s go places!


Goofy video but you get the idea

Today was a fun day at the ORV park! We had 8 rigs, sorry @TacoCat64 for the miscommunicatio, and we muddled around a lot. Some young guys there attempted a frozen pond crossing in their newly acquired $900 JEEP….

Hello everyone

On the calendar we were going to have Frenchmen Coulee trip April 24-26th, however it’s more of an awesome viewpoint to camp at and not much off road. So then we were thinking just an overnight leaving Saturday morning as the location is not far off of Hwy 90 before you get to Vantage by the bridge, it’s near the Gorge Amphitheater.

I will be just getting back from a road trip with my son to Anchorage, is anyone up for leading this trip? Does anyone want to go?
