Hi. I am Michael Riyanto and just joined OB. I am in San Francisco, CA. I have a 2021 Subaru Outback. Bone stock. Didn’t actually buy it for overlanding (i.e., I learned about overlanding after I bought the car), but more for shuttling my dogs to the trails. Experience: Novice. I took a 2-day off-roading course in Mojave in a Wrangler, did Titus Canyon trail in DVNP, and roadtripped to Bahia Concepcion sticking mostly to the paved roads though. I look forward to meeting members and exploring backcountry roads.

Hi Everyone. I'm Mike from Tampa, FL
My Family and I love to travel the back roads. We started a few years ago in our 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R and recently purchased a 2020 4Runner TRD Off-Road as a 2nd adventure vehicle.
We are still very Novice with anything truly off-road, but we are more experienced back country campers;). Looking forward to being a part of the communityView attachment 222348View attachment 222349

Howdy, new to the group so figured I'd say hello.
Between rigs but have my eyes on a Suburban so fingers crossed.

Im new again to this, used to do it growing up but haven't had the time till now. So here's hoping for some good times.
