4. Novice, but lots of experience car camping and wheeling. Starting to do more combined together.
I've always loved the outdoors and it continues to refresh my soul to be in creation. Backpacking, canoeing, hunting, fishing, and exploring all seem to compliment overlanding. Looking forward to learning more from you, and hopefully contributing where
I can.

Hi all,
I just joined up and wanted to introduce myself. I've been learning a fair bit just from the u-tube so at least I won't go out totally unprepared anymore but I know there's more...so here I am, ready to learn stuff :D
We haven't been getting out too much so far this year since we're all supposed to Duck and Cover, shelter in place, or what ever it is but here's a pic from last year's opening weekend (deer season).
This is Nor Cal Sierra mountains west of Truckee towards Fordyce lake. Its mostly logging roads and high-clearance trails and some spectacular scenery.

That is a great photo. My first ever trip I took in my truck and roof top tent was up to the mountains and it dumped 12” of snow. You are a brave man! I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Pleasanton CA there is a meet up on the second Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) group has number of plans already laid out for June through November. Our next meet up will be online again for May 9th 1-2:30Hi all,

Hi Gabe - thanks for the warm welcome! I’ll be sure to pop into the virtual meetups when possible. As for the front bumper, it and all of the armor (aside from the rear 4xinnovations swing out that’s currently being color matched/installed) are from AllPro Offroad. High quality products at a reasonable price.

Finally decided to join and I'm sure glad I did. I recently started getting into camping/overlanding/offroading to get out with my family and see mother nature. Specially for my 5 yr old son. Got rid of my BMW to get a 02 4runner Limited just for that. I look forward to meeting some of you here near Fullerton, CA.

Hello Chad, welcome to the OB community. It's great to have another Grants Pass person as part of the Southern Oregon region. As Kent mentioned I am the Southern Oregon Regional Members Representative so I want you to know I am here for you in whatever way you need. Just before the shut down we had our first regional meeting here in GP with a great group of people. We will get back together as soon as possible but until then we can always communicate via this OB website. Feel free to contact me anytime. Take care and stay safe.

Welcome ,
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
