Location: Fleming Island, Fl
Vehicle: '14 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
Experience: Somewhere between "wanta be" and "wanta do". We did lots of camping in the 18th century style, almost ten years worth, and enjoyed the heck out of it but never got too serious about it. A few years ago we started taking road trips, 200 to 300 miles in a day on back roads only, get away for the day and go see something new. One day I ran across the Overland Journal and learned about Overlanding. Wow, what a concept. Our first experience in Overlanding was a two week trip we did last July, 2,882 miles up the Appalachian Mountains from Dahlonega, Georgia, to Gettysburg then down the coast to Charleston. We did 12 National Parks, 9 National Forest, and got to do some hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
Why Overlanding: Exploring. It's about taking the road less traveled, seeing something new, and pushing our comfort zone, regardless if there is a road or not. To us Overlanding is like Car Camping in the 1920's.
