A new member as of today.
Stocked 1996 Cherokee XJ, 272k miles.
Have never been out Overlanding, all new to me. Haven't done anything to Jeep, but starting to look over so it holds up to some adventure. Was going this weekend for 4 days to Mark Twain National Forest, but rain starting Friday all the way through next week, so postponing.
Well, look forward to meeting other's.

Hello All.

Will be heading out tomorrow to Ozark National Park. This will be my first solo trip and pulling my pop up. Would appreciate an off road route that easy, and get me to some stream or a running river. Route must be easy in My Old Jeep, but off road where I can set up. Route I'm looking at is 50 Hwy to 19 South towards Cuba. Never been on any of these road's.
Saturday, will pack up and start heading north and need another location for that late afternoon stop somewhere. Same on Sunday morning, pack up and start heading towards Kansas City.
Now I'm open for anything I can go off road, if you know of someplace before that, I'm all ears. I've even thought of 10 killer lake.
If someone wants to call and save all the texting, I'd really appreciate it. Would even consider a nice camp ground one night, maybe Sunday???

Welcome from NE Oklahoma!
 
Here are the pics. Maybe meet up some time. A couple more hrs and hitting the road, feels like the longest two hrs but just going to take my time and be on my schedule and not everyone's time frame.
Now have to find someplace to stop once I get to ONF. Thinking about a campsite, that way, I don't have to search for a place to camp out in, since I've not even picked up a map but will allow me to ask locals some questions.

Tks
