Hello! I am "PookyHobbes". After recently moving back to Germany, I am now looking for a new adventure. I already went on a few day trips with members of Overland Bound and had a great time! Unfortunately, I do not have my own car yet, but I am looking for a Subaru Forester or a Jeep Cherokee. Advice is always welcomed as I am a total newbie at overlanding. :)
Hello Damaris, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hello my name is Shawn, from good old Cheyenne Wyoming. Looking forward to hearing about everyone’s adventures and posting some of my own with friends and family. Sharing ideas and hopefully seeing more of the road less traveled. Thanks for having me.
Hello Shawn, welcome to Overland Bound.

Welcome we have only joined a few weeks ago. But love the idea of adventure. Had a family event in Fresno. Camped at Millerton Lake. Not really off roaring but better than a hotel.
Hi Chris,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Wow, I like those 4runners. Enjoy.

Greetings from Europe

New overlander here in N. GA. My wife and I are in our mid-50's and kids are out of the house. We have a 2020 Wrangler JLU and 2021 Gladiator Mojave. Mojave will be our primary overlanding vehicle. Can't wait to get out and start experiencing more of what our great country has to offer. Until retirement it may only be 2-3 weeks a year but we're going to try and make the best of that time!

OB has a great list of core values. As a beginner in all this I especially like #16:

We support those seeking answers, understanding we all start somewhere.
