Welcome to Overland Bound,, @JasonJKU! That is a great looking JKU you have there and a perfect foundation for an overland rig that will take you and your family on many great adventures. Overland Bound is pretty active in the Willamette Valley area, thanks to the efforts of @Roy & Kristin Zirpoli. There is currently a Facebook page [link] for the are where a lot of discussion on upcoming activities occurs, so you might want to check that out. In fact, there is a meetup of the group coming up on February 9th in Salem [link] that might be of interest to you. If that doesn't work, there is also a Bonfire, BBQ, and Camp event on February 16th [link]

Welcome to the forums, @Jacyb. I'm glad that you are joining in on the discussion and bringing along photos of your nice clean FJ.
Right now there isn't a lot going on on the dryer side of Oregon, but there are a few members in your area, so perhaps someone will step forward and organize a meetup. In the meantime I recommend checking out the Overland Bound Northwest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know who and what is going on in the PNW. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.

Welcome to Overland Bound, @Walnut. I'm glad you decided to register and are starting to look forward to taking your kids out. Some of my best memories with my father were our camping, fishing, and hiking trips. The PNW is filled with places to go and things to see, so I am sure you will find lots of ways to get that Crosstrek dirty. There is currently a group of members in the South Puget Sound [link] area that are starting to get monthly meetups going, so you might want to check in with them.

Welcome to Overland Bound from the other side of the Cascades, @Danger Ray. You are in an incredible place for overlanding experience with Section 3 of the Washington Backroad Discovery Route (WABDR) in your backyard and the NW Overland Rally [link] just a few miles North of you! @4wheelspulling might be able to provide you with some more specific recommendations in your area, as he is well versed in that part of the state.

Awesome!! That's exactly what I've been looking for. Super excited to get out on the trails and meet new friends! Thanks!
Hello everyone, glad to be part of overland bound. I’m new to overlanding, but I am ready to learn everything I can.

Welcome to OB! I'm relatively new also. Don't worry, this community is very open and friendly!

Welcome to Overland Bound, @GODESP. I have some great news for you, there are about 17,000 members here who are just as ready to help you learn! The PNW is filled with both people and places that will most certainly get you going along the overlanding trail. The Northwest Washington area has monthly meetups, although I am still working on the details to be able to post the February event. There is also currently a group of members in the South Puget Sound [link] area that are starting to get monthly meetups going, so you might want to check in with them. When the Northwest Washington event is posted, you will find it on the Rally Point system [link].
