I'm in the Midland area. I actually plan to take some trips out to New Mexico soon
I may be headed out that way soon actually. The Enchanted Rockies trail starts near Carlsbad and is pretty close to you (A little over 2 hours away I think).

Howdy y’all! I’m super excited to finally be a part of the community and hope to meet up with some y’all for some weekend trips!
Current Location: Silverdale, WA (Seattle area)

Current Vehicle: 2019 TACOMA TRD OR

Overland Experience: Beginner
Why Overlanding?: I really got into the outdoors life when I turned 18 and bought an ATV and a mountain bike. I loved going out camping and just exploring off the beaten path. One summer in college, I loaded up my Taco and lived out of it for 2 months while going to different places in the states to hike, bike, and just see different cities. While I always wanted a 4x4, it just wasn’t my time to have one with school being my priority. Ive been impatiently waiting for the day that I could afford a 4x4 taco and that day finally arrived 5 days ago! 2 days later I loaded up the little amount of gear I had and hit section 2 of the WABDR. Words cannot express the joy and freedom that I felt out there! Keep on exploring!

Hello everyone,

New to the group. I live in Las Vegas NV and I have a 2012 Nissan Frontier SV 4x4. My level of overland experience is moderate I would say.

Hi everyone. Located MS gulf Coast with a Ford F150 and Boreas XT. Lived/cruised 5 years on sailboat and looking to "dirt cruise". Just finished the Cumberland Trace and now looking at SE or Arkansas for more overland experience for myself, wife and adventurous Golden Retriever.

Hi everyone!

My rig is an 09 Fj with all the icon goodies and 35s.

As far as experience goes I am pretty experienced with the off-road aspect of overlanding but new to the camping, long distance travel and preparation aspect of over landing. Most of my experience is from the pay to play parks on the east coast.

Located in Allentown Pa and live in northeast part of Maryland part time for work.

Excited to be part of the group! View attachment 108953View attachment 108954

Welcome to Overland Bound, @TxDelta! That is a great looking Taco and that smile is epic. Congrats on the new wheels and on joining us here. There are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your neighbors. Events are also posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.

I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.

Hey everyone!

Current location is Columbia, MO, but we visit family in Grand Rapids, MI a few times a year.
Current vehicle is a 2016 Tacoma TRD OR (my first truck, bought used back in January).
Experience? New to the vehicle aspect, but I have a moderate amount of experience backpacking/hiking (lots of time in Killarney Provincial Park in Ontario, portions of the Appalachian Trail, I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro once upon a time). Looking forward to learning/playing off road with the truck.

Excited to be here!

... The Enchanted Rockies trail starts near Carlsbad and is pretty close to you (A little over 2 hours away I think).
I hadn’t ever heard of that trail but it sounds awesome. I may have to try it myself!
There have been a number of closed routes on that trail recently. Kevin, Sarah, and Caroline (@Lifestyle Overland ) re-ran a part of the trail recently to find alternate routes and I believe may have updated the Enchanted Rockies trail webpage with the adjusted route at least for one section of the trail.
