Hey everyone! We're locking in a date for this...
Overland Bound 'Off the Grid' Rally
September 25th - 27th, 2015
Buck Rock Jeep Trail, Sequoia National Forest
Arrive Friday afternoon/evening, explore/crawl the Buck Rock Jeep Trail Saturday, mimosas and high fives on Sunday before heading back down the mountain.
This location is super driveable/accessible to both Nor CA and Southern CA Overland Bound members.
We are working on making this an awesome way to connect with community and share in the spirit of overlanding together.
Michael - What would you say the level of difficulty for the trail would be? You've been there more than me.
More details about registering to follow. Super excited about this!! Feel free to shoot me an email at corrie@overlandbound.com with any questions!

Hey, everyone!
September 25th - 27th in Sequoia National Forest!
We're in full planning mode for this!
Campsite: Fir Group Campground. Lots of shade. 13 Tables. Group Bar-B-Que. Toilets. Water. Large campfire circle. Straight shot to the trail head for Buck Rock. Plenty of space for us to spread out and set up basecamp.
Perks: Exclusive Off the Grid Rally t-shirt and patch. Saturday night dinner for the group cooked by a special guest of ours + beer and beverages. (Working on some more perks and awesomeness for Off the Grid goers as I type!)
Adventure: We'll roll in Friday afternoon, prepare camp and enjoy a kickoff meal, get up Saturday and head out to the trail at 9AM, spend the day rolling through Buck Rock (maybe stopping for mimosas...?), have lunch, shoot the proverbial sh*t, and roll on back Saturday late afternoon.
Fun: Lots of community. Lots of different rigs. Lots of different styles. One singular mission to get outside and explore!
To cover costs of the campground, perk package/swag bag, and the Saturday night catered meal, we're thinking we would charge $75/head for the entire weekend. We will need a small amount of volunteers to help us bring stuff in, set up, help us get organized, etc. and we'd comp volunteers in. There would also be an early registration discount.
Let me know what you think. We're getting creative and having fun over here. It's super inspiring to think of all of us standing together and raising a beverage in the air to toast the good life.

Narrow down the date and unless work says no, I'm down. But I will be traveling from Utah. As I mentioned to Corrie via Email about the OLB emblems, I want to see buck rock, and what better group to see it with than the ones who introduced me to it via their youtube channel.
Ill post up my Xterra build in the forum so incase anyone does not think the X will make it, please tell me now, but Ive built the rig up nicely the few months since I bought it in February. I'm as newbie as you can get to this area due to never visiting, so be it I live in San Diego and 29 Palms for almost 3 years (Marine Corp).
I just check regs and Sequoia National Forest allows hammocks, so unless anyone minds now, Ill be in my Warbonnet XLC Blackbird Hammock with Hammock gear insulation. If no one has ever seen an outdoor camping hammock, you will be in for a treat, they are amazing. Best sleep one can get in the back country. I've used hammocks from 80F to -10F without issue as long as I pack the right insulation, from simple overnight outings to 2 week elk hunts.
Keep the word about this activity open as I'm 95% sure I can make it. Hope to meet some of you soon.
