Hey everyone! Just joined and looking fwd to meeting new folks in the community!

Recently moved to Vancouver, WA from Hawaii and just purchased a new 4Runner that I’m going to be setting up for hitting the great outdoors! I also have my OG ‘02 F250 that I used in Las Vegas and Colorado that will be hitting the trails too!

Been out around Washougal a bit getting my gear and kit tested out.

Will be attending the meet up in September in Portland, hopefully connect with others. I’m hoping to get a feel for the areas around here and any info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again, let me know if you‘re around and want to connect to get out on the trails.

Hello Kaione,

Welcome to Overland Bound! The Portland Meetup is a perfect place to connect with other overlanders in the area. Your 4Runner is a good choice, its a very capable vehicle. There are a few other Toyota folks at the meetup that can help with your overland setup. Also, you can post your question / comments in the Meetup form to get a discussion going. We typically hang out in the parking lot at ~7 until we get a group, then move to the banquet room in the back of Busters.

Cheers,

John

Hello Kaione , Welcome to the northwest
I am the Northwest Director. @jcgraves3 is your closest member representative. I knew a Kaione once from Portland/Vancouver area who was originally from Hawaii. We were stationed together at Fort Cartoon.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).
Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.
Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.
Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.
Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.
Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.
Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.
Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.
