Corey and Crystal Morris here from Rural Hall, NC. We are avid trail runners from way back in the day. We have always loved finding a trail or dirt road and running it to the end. Our favorite ride was from Mt. Crested Butte, CO to Pitkin, CO via Cumberland Pass and Tin Cup. We have a 2006 Jeep Commander XK we are building up to ride trails. Our ultimate goal is to return out west to live. SoCal is our destination. We love to cook and love company so if you're ever in the area, hit us up. We have a YouTube channel called Overland Wanderlust where we share the adventures we go on and other things. We were rebuilding a popup but abandoned that after accepting a position in NC. We look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.

We are planing a meet-up in Santa Rosa that will be for Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Lake & Mendocino counties, just waiting for the rain to stop. You will get an invite from the form messenger.

Did the meet-up in Santa Rosa already happen? How does one get on the list?

It has not, you will receive a forum message linking to a Rally Point once I get a date set. Im still looking for a good place that can hold lots of rigs.

Sounds good. Let me know if I can help scout out a place. the parking lot on the north end of town where the K-mart used to be before the fires has a big, mostly empty parking lot.

Hey everyone.

This is my brief introduction. I love being outdoors, and while I enjoy hiking, I am a gearhead. I love the challenges & technicality of off-roading. It takes me places in days that would normally take me weeks to see. I prefer traveling with my family but sometimes I like to be alone.

My addiction started when I had a CJ7. Now that life requires me to have a more versatile vehicle for my family, career & hobbies. So I went with a 2014 Tundra. I have made some minor modifications.

If you've made it this far without falling asleep, congrats!

I currently live in the Kansas City Metro area and would love to meet up and explore some local trails on the weekends. My goal is to develop a core group to travel around with as I meet more people.

Thanks for reading. I hope to see you on the trail.
