Hello Overlanders,

I am so glad that I found this group. Adventure is part of my DNA. Growing up I was always off riding my bike and exploring. Apparently, a hobby which I have never outgrown. Here in Michigan, the mountain biking trails are AWESOME and I want to explore more. With some backcountry bike races coming up, I've decided to turn my 2013 Dodge Durango RT into my Adventure rig. She's a little low to the ground so I have to be careful where I go, but I have other toys for the gnarly stuff.

Recently returned from playing in Moab, Utah. Heading to the Yoop (upper peninsula of Michigan). Hope to meet you on the trails.

Karen

Hey Overland Bound! Just getting into this adventure and I am a total novice. I'm Alan, currently building out a 2005 Land Rover LR3 for multi-day trips. Located in Palos Verdes, Los Angeles, CA. I am about 4 weeks away from having a fully capable vehicle for my first overland trip. Most likely will join the Southern California Rover Club's next outing, but also looking for others in the area.

Greetings from #30286 here in San Diego (El Cajon). Long time camper, motorcyclist (dual sport) and mountain biker but new to overlanding. Really excited to join the community and get out on some adventures. Went to Merus Adventure park with E3 Overland and had a blast even though it snowed over Easter break. Let’s go, I’m hungry for the next journey.

My name is Tyler.

1) Birmingham, AL
2) 100 series Land Cruiser. Recently bought it from my dad who bought it new in 2003.
3) I am new to off roading and I look forward to building up my land cruiser. I am a pretty avid cyclist (mtn & road), so I look forward to building a good camping vehicle that I can drive around the southeast to camp and cycle.

Glad to be apart of OB as it will be a good resource for me to learn from experienced overlanders.
Welcome Tyler!

Location: San Jose, CA
Current Vehicle: 2015 4Runner Trail
Previous Vehicle: 2005 Subaru Forester XT
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding?: I've always been an outdoor type of person and love traveling, camping, and exploring new places. I'm also an automotive enthusiast and enjoy modifying vehicles, whether it be 4 wheels, 2 wheels, racing, or offroading. Overlanding is a great combination of those two passions and I've been hooked ever since.
Welcome!
