Hi, all! I've been around for a little bit, but have yet to introduce myself. Better late than never, I suppose. :smile:

1) See the attached picture of my rig! She's pretty stock at the moment, but I have tons of mods planned for her. I'm still in awe of what she is capable of. The picture is from this past Memorial Day Weekend on the Cascade Creek trail near Mount Evans.
2) I re-located to Boulder from Raleigh, North Carolina almost two months ago (yes, in the middle of a worldwide pandemic); I'm glad I'm finally settling in in Colorado!
3) I have a white 2017 Toyota 4Runner (TRD Pro) that I purchased back in February '20. I've always been a huge 4Runner fan, and I am glad I finally got one for all of my future adventures.
4) I am an overlanding newbie! I'm excited to be here and part of this community.

Hello Everyone!

My Name is Connor. I live in Durango, CO. which gives me great access to lots of popular Overlanding destinations right in my back yard. I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma and my wife has a Jeep Wrangler.

We have been overlanding since were were kids and make a point to get out as much as possible! I know there are lots of people in my area with rigs, but I am not sure how many are hooked in to OB. I have lurked on the website and watched many of the videos for a while now and I am excited to get involved with the community!
Hello Conner, welcome to the OB community.

Welcome Doug and Tracie ,
I am the Northwest Regional Director for Overland Bound. @Big G is your closest Member Representative.

Due to “Social Distancing” and “Shelter In Place” practices during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have temporarily postponed group meetups, trail rides, and Campouts. Instead the Northwest Member Rep Team has incorporated weekly conference calls each Sunday at 7:30 PM PST (8:30) Mountain Time). A full list with scheduling can be found at Sunday Night Regional Conference Call

Welcome once again
Stay well, stay safe

Doug and Trace as Mike Rose said I am probably the closest Regional Member Representative to you even though you are in Redmond and I am In Grants Pass. As the Southern Oregon rep I am trying to build our group dynamic as it has been pretty much stagnant until we met in February. We will start having meet ups again soon and you should receive an email from me when we are planning to get together again. If you have any questions feel free to contact me any time. I would love to help you become a part of our community in any way that I am able.
