Welcome from Denver!
How did you like the discovery route?

Thank you! Honestly it was a relatively easy route. Set up for motorcycles so most 4x4 vehicles can handle it. I'd say the challenge for us with it being our groups first trip was deciding when to camp vs pushing. We could have done better planning around camp spots.
Biggest obstacle we had was changing my flat at 10000 ft on a mountain pass :) If we had to do it over again we would have spent more time around Alpine Loop exploring. We finished 2 days (we planned 7 days) early because there are plenty of improved dirt sections you can make up time on in the north sections.

Thanks for the add. I stumbled on the Overland Bound podcast and loved listening to where this whole adventure started with Michael and his story. Since then I have been hooked and I am so glad the podcast has restarted.

My name is Mark Matthews. I am married to my lady, Crystal and we live in Norfolk, VA. I have always camped and run trails but we are new to the overlanding thing. Our current rig is a 2006 Jeep LJ Rubicon. Our camper is a home buiilt DIY teardrop trailer my wife and I built about 3 years ago. We are interested in an overlanding sometime next year for a long weekend.

We spend a lot of time in Carova, OBX on the beach. Our main trails we frequent are here in VA- Flagpole Knob and Bald Mountain/Big Levels. We get down to Uwharrie National Forest a few times per year.

Looking forward to getting to know some of you. Thanks

Checking in from San Antonio, Texas! I've been building up my Jeep in the last two years. Since then I've taken trips to Big Bend, Grand Canyon, Moab, and various National parks in the area. Can't wait to explore some more!

Hello Mark (@mrrmatthews) welcome from Oklahoma.
Great looking trailer, have a build thread on it somewhere?
Since you enjoy podcast may I also suggest the 4x4 Radio Network? It's a conglomeration of off road related podcasts.

Good afternoon, LeRoy here from S. Florida. Apparently I've been overlanding for years? (Living in a car, LOL) Thank you for the membership status and I do look forward to meeting as many of you as possible. I know many people that have seen more than most in a dodge caravan. Fuel, camera, water, beef jerky and desire. Can't wait to meet up, L.

New to the overland lifestyle, didn't know what it was until my friend started building his own rack equipped with rtt and all the other gear. I thought it looked awesome and have been searching the webz for more rigs setup like his. And that's when I stumbled upon the term "overland" and its been all down hill (pun) from there!

Location: Phoenix, AZ
Rig: Stock 2018 Ram Rebel
Experience: Novice is a understatement, but I love it!

Hey everyone! Just signed up for the free account (looking into the paid options now). Looking to get my 3 boys (7, 3, 2) and the wife outdoors more often. Hard being in Sarasota, FL where it is SO HOT all the time. Went with some neighbors to Ocala National Forest last year with our oldest boys and had a great time. Looking for some more adventures we can take the family on in the surrounding area.

Hi everyone,
I live in Silveton Oregon, a small town a few miles away Silver Creek Falls state park. Silver Falls is Oregon’s largest state park and home to ten of the most amazing waterfalls I’ve ever seen.

Last year after my VW Gti engine blew, I decided to go a different route and started looking at trucks. I love full size trucks, but decided for doing adventures and lots of trips to the mountain, that the Tacoma would be a great choice.

I have a 2017 TRD off-road Tacoma that I’ve been enjoying quite a bit. Last winter I took it up to Mt Hood countless times to go snowboarding and it performed great.

It’s also been a great vehicle to load up the mt bikes and just take off.

The truck has already seen many adventures, but mostly all on road. I’ve gone to Grand Canyon with 5 people, and other short trips with my wife.

After much research I just purchased the Freespirit rooftop tent and also got the extra thermal liner. I plan to do many snow camping trips this winter. This spring I plan to start what I would consider some short and longer overland trips.

Anyway, happy to be here and part of this community.

Michael
