Hey everyone. Shawn from the St. Louis,MO area. Used to have a 2000 XJ that met it's untimely demise. So until we get a new rig the 06 Honda Odyssey will have to do.

Currently exploring Colorado and hope to have a new rig soon...
Hello Shawn, welcome to the OB community.

I’ve been Overlanding (by definition) for pretty much my whole life in far Northern California, S/E Oregon, and N/E Nevada. We just called it camping and didn’t usually move every day. Mostly a family participant thing or by myself. Seems good to broaden my experience with other overlanders - move a little more. :grinning:

Finally have a 2019 Jeep Wrangler 4dr Rubicon to play in.

Jim

Hey y'all! Long been interested in overlanding, but just now getting in to it with a (reasonably) suitable vehicle and actually owning camping gear.

I'm in the Santa Rosa, CA area, and I have a 2018 Subaru Outback 2.5. No real experience as of yet, I did my first bit of driving "off road" (read: forest roads) about a week ago but I'm very much looking forward to exploring what's out there. :)

Ceg here form Selah, Washington. I am new to Overland Bound, but have been into overland type adventures since 1986. I ran the Eastern Washington Off Road Forum and All Wheelers Off Road Club which later became "Eastern Washington Adventures" from 2004 until 2019. In 2019 I started the "Liberty State Overland Club" since of all the things I had done over the years, Overland adventures is what I feel is me.

I have a few adventure rigs I use for different events.
1996 F350 Crew Cab with a 11' Lance camper for Base Camp type runs.
2007 JKU Rubicon - This has been my overland rig for some time now. It has been grounded for over a year now waiting an engine rebuild.
1993 YJ mainly for exploring and wheeling. It is what I am using this year for overland trips.

Most of my adventures since 2004 are posted on my website blog: cegpics.com

New member here in central Iowa! No real experience with much, but I'm hoping to go exploring and hitting some trails soon. The Rover has been "fun" to work on. I'm learning lots about her that's for sure.
