Greetings. After living in a van for around four years, I took a year off in rural Middle Tennessee. Being truly nomadic, I am still not interested in being settled for long anywhere. So I got a 2020 Tacoma, already turned into an overlanding machine with flatbed, suspension redo, re-geared, etc. 4 Wheel Camper with enough solar and amenities for long-time back-country travel. I spent three months this Summer in Nor. Cal./So. Oregon and Nevada. I'll be Wintering in Tennessee while I prep for full-time excursion mode next year. So I am in the rabbit hole of research now on where to go. Figured it's time to start joining groups like this to get inspired meet people. I might go for Trans American route since it runs right by where I am starting

Welcome! One thing I loved about being in the military is being able to move around every few years. In my case from coast to coast and exploring the country in between. I hope to get back to it when I retire, this desk ball and chain sucks a bit. Enjoy!

I run trails when I can and am looking forward to some longer overlanding trips. My rig is almost fully set up and ready for some shorter sections of the TransAm trail.

Welcome! Getting out on the trail and away from the urban jungle is a wonderful thing. Plenty of info to gain from here...

1) Sorry, no pictures as I'm just starting to build a rig from scratch
2) Kern County, California
3) Toyota 4runner, Tacoma, Land Cruiser or Lexus equivalent - I'm still searching for a used vehicle to purchase
4) Experienced

My name's Alex and I've been "adventuring" as I'll call it for 40 years + all over the world. It averages out to about 20 years outside the USA and 20 years in Southern/Central CA in the high desert.

I've recently moved back to the USA again so I have to build a new rig here from scratch. All of the supplies I have, just need a rig to carry/organize it. If I can buy someone's used rig that is in a high state of maintenance, that would be ideal.

Glad to be here!
