@Sandpoint Steve has a monthly conference call, US Northwest - Inland Northwest Monthly Conferance Call - Planning / Leading your first trip

@reaver, @David C Gibbs, @J&V_Bird and @GHCOE might also know of some local groups out doing things.

Lastly go check into the Northwest Regional Roll Call, you will get a lot more responses from members close to you there.

One more thing, I see you don’t have a paid membership, you might not be seeing much activity due to this.
Thanks for the shout out. We rolled to Hagerman, 1000 Springs, to soak at Miracle Hot Springs for an hour. Here is a little COVID news: There is a new owner of the Snake River Grill in Hagerman.

2) Location Boise, Idaho! There's so many areas to try but I'm just starting out on this adventure!
3) Rig: 2012 F-150 FX4 (That's my baby! ↓) I've since installed Eibach Pro Truck springs, struts, and shocks to the suspension and gave it a 2" lift. Those are 285/17s and they rub in reverse...which I think is weird since they don't rub going forward.
4) Overlanding Experience Background: Zero. Zilch. Nada. I plan on doing the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route next year with my son. I've read it's an "easy/beginner" course to 4x4 and overlanding, so I figure it's a good place to start!

Hi All,
Newbie to the world of Overlanding here. Been reading about it for many years and looking to get more into it. Have a new to me Jeep Wrangler and just looking to learn more about adventuring out and taking the road less traveled.

Base: Maryland, USA....soon to be "where the rig breaks down" :-))
