Well hi I am Ken however as that name was taken no shock there then choose “Grumpy old man” as that is what my wife thinks I am lol. My location is Goa India, however both sons live in Australia so our next adventure is another big lap of Oz stealing sons Triton for the trip taking 3 to 6 months being retired is the best job ever. Past trips include over the years 1976 riding dirt bike from port harcourt to Lagos around 600kms. This was while working there as a helicopter mech for two years. Riding another dirt bike round Mail west Africa while being an engine tech rep on presidents aircraft. Driving VW bus round Kinshasa Zaire while working for total w**ker only time I had jump ship. Next working in Bombay for 7 years now driving round that place is a true adventure you just have to do lol. Driven up into Kashmir and gone over the highest drivable road in the world at 5602 meters 18000 + feet above sea level.
So our next big trip is doing Australia again looking fwd to it. Swaging our way round doing canning stock route gibb river road Annie Beal highway bridsville and various others.
So hi to all hope to meet up in the bush/ outback or the roads of India sometime.

Hi all this is Dirttraveler. I joined a couple weeks back. I went to my local meetup last Saturday. It was great to see and meet so many nice people there. I don’t have “overland experience”. I have done plenty of hunting and camping through my life.  In the next month I will become an empty Nester and I’m interested in doing a whole lot more vehicle camping and exploring. Im from the southern SF bay area. I drive a 2013 Jeep JK that I have set up for sleeping inside. My Jeep has mostly been used to go to the family ranch and hunt and do some off-roading.

Welcome to Overland Bound Steve
A great local contact is @Wandering_Scotty and @TrailHawkGuy, I believe you might have met Wandering Scotty at the South Bay meetup. There is another meet up just to the North of you in Livermore that is also very active.
