Since the COVID Pandemic is spreading a crossed the globe, we here at Overland Bound are encouraging “Shelter In Place” and “Social Distancing” practices.
Myself and the rest of the Northwest Overland Bound Representative Team have come up with a solution:
Sunday Night Conference Call
I hope everyone is Practicing “Social Distancing” and fallowing your community guidelines regarding “Sheltering In Place”.
I know with the changing weather and most places in the Northwest seeing the snow lines receding; we are anxiously awaiting spring and the adventures that come with the changing season. Regrettably however we aren’t able to host public gatherings and traveling isn’t encouraged. We (the Overland Bound Member Representative Team) have been brainstorming the past week to help fight the cabin fever. We have come up with a solution that we hope will be fun, entertaining, and educational.
Let me introduce to you all the Northwest Sunday Night Conference Call. Every Sunday for the month of April (or until we are allowed to gather again face to face) we will be having a Conference Call where we can get a chance to meet the Member Representatives in their area, learn about various topics regarding Overlanding, and hopefully have something to look forward to each week.
Each weeks topics will be amended below.
1st Sunday- Host Mike Rose @M Rose NW Director
Overlanding Electronic Device Q&A
2nd Sunday- Host David Hopkins @David H Southern Idaho Member Representative
Coms
3rd Sunday- Host Steve Marchiando @Sandpoint Steve Inland Northwest Member Representative
Trip Planning- How to use the “Free” tools we have available to plan an off grid trip
4th Sunday- Host Gary Cloud @Big G Southern Oregon
