Hey everyone.
Jeep family always looking to meet some others in the area. Been wheeling and exploring for 15+ yrs. We reside in the Easy Bay and get up into the Sierras as often as possible. We don’t pay to much attention trail difficulty but rather the adventure and escape.
Most recent adventure was a quick trip to the snow HWY108.
Recent wheeling trip to the Dusy Ershim.
Favorite spot is always Slick Rock. Love the camping, water and wheeling. Loved the video @Michael

Hope to maybe make the December meet up here in town.

2) Location: Southern California near Palm Springs
3) Rig 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2, V8 Overland model towing 2019 Bushwakka Bhoma
4) Overlanding Experience: I bought the Jeep in 2014 and we did several short Overlanding trips in Anza Borrego and Big Bear that year. On our first big Overlanding expedition we traveled the entire Mojave Road in 2015. Back then we were tent camping. Over the years we have done the Mojave Rd several more times and explored additional parts of the Mojave Desert. We have also done Overlanding trips to Death Valley, Joshua Tree, the Old Dale Mining District, the Bradshaw Trail, and the San Jacinto Mountains.
Nice rig Kurt. Welcome to Overland Bound.

Hello All,

I just stumbled on this board and want and would like to pursue overlanding further. I’ve always been fascinated with nature and would just love to get out there more. Below is the required info:

1)pictureView attachment 245767


2) Location (ventura county, ca)
3) 2018 GMC Canyon Denali (2.8 DuraMax) 4x4
4) Overlanding Experience Background: Novice, but did lots of camping/overlanding while in the USMC and now National Guard in Humvees.

My rig is bone stock, but slowly but surely, I’d like to turn it into a beast. I would appreciate any info and suggestions you guys can offer.

Thanks!
-Jay

Hey everyone,

I've been here for a while but never got around to posting. I'm based out of the Chicago area and drive a 2018 Outback with a few upgrades to make it more capable and reliable.

I want to consider myself a beginner but I know that isn't accurate. So maybe cautiously moderate. Cautious because I wheel it like I need it to get to work on Monday.

By the groups definition of Overlanding, I've been involved since the early 80's tagging along with my dad on regular multiple country drives in his van. I started going on adventures myself with an XJ Cherokee in the late 90's.

Most recent we drove the 7 Hour Plane Crash Trail as part of the Fl4tFest Overland Adventure.
