Did not come to fruition unfortunately. A meet and greet would be great. My connection for a location didn't work out so any new suggestions?
Where’s the Utah people at??

I am still interested in a meet and greet. Another member, JT Rose, and I go out on occasional runs. We went out to Leppy Hill last month.

I would be interested to do a meet and greet as well. I would still need advance notice though. My work schedule is out of control lately sorry for the inconvenience in advance.

What are your thoughts on searching for geocaches and prospecting? Another member and I have been discussing using metal detectors to search for geocaches and some prospecting.

I have never participated in such activities. It does sound interesting. What kind of treasures are out there?

There is a lot of geocaches out there, and you can prospect for gold on BLM and USFS lands. You don't need to get a metal detector if you don't want to but can participate with us.

Hi Utah crew! We just moved to American Fork in 2021 from Texas. Our goal is to not waste a minute here. The landscapes are nothing like we've ever seen before. My wife and I are trying to explore every weekend. We've been building up our '97 Lexus LX450 & Tacoma TRD pro. We've even upped our game and bought a propane heater for our tent and are really enjoying some winter camping. We'd love some tips of places to go and to meet up with our fellow overlanders. Let us know!
We just explored a part of the Pony Express Trail last weekend and were blown away! We made a video of our trip:

Welcome to Utah! There's a TON to explore, as you obviously are already figuring out! My wife and I just started exploring ourselves this past year and are excited to do more. Checked out your YT Channel and subscribed. :) I also run a Tacoma (2020 Access Cab) and also have the decked system installed. Plan to start adding vids of our rig & equipment to our YT channel this season too. I made a prototype power panel to re-route teh 110 bed outlet from behind the cubby covered by the Decked system and also then added 12v power (for the ICECO fridge we added last year) and the switch for my rear bumper lights. Also supplies power to the compressor I installed in the farthest back end of the larger drawer (pretty proud of how that turned out!). Next project (after suspension and tire upgrade in a few weeks) is going to be my mostly DIY swing out (hitch mounted) swing for a cook table that is the same height as the tailgate and for carrying water jugs, 5lb propane tank, and maybe extra and fuel...I think....
Anyway....hope we can meet you guys in person and even share some exploring with you and others in the OB community in UT.
Enthusiast I
Thanks for the subscribe & response! You've been busy on your Tacoma! Can't wait to see how you like all of the updates. I'll send you a message so we can get connected sometime soon.

Welcome to our neck of the woods, though I am from Arizona. I am up in the Salt Lake area, Herriman to be exact. What brought you to American Fork?
Enthusiast I
Thanks! We moved here site unseen. We were craving mountains and landed on AF for the canyon and close enough to SLC without being too close lol.
It's funny you mention Arizona. We've recently been looking to purchase land out there and are planning to go check it out soon. What brought you out of Arizona to Utah?

Welcome neighbors!
We are just outside the AF border in Lehi welcome. We have been here in the state for over 20 tears and have been exploring every step of the way. Reach out if you ever need some help deciding where to go or outfitting your vehicles.
Enthusiast I
Thank you! Glad to know there are fellow overlanders close by. We'll definitely be reaching out.

Lol at least she's from a cool place. We were looking around Williams, but just decided against it. We don't want to haul water and it seems like most areas require it.My wife. She is from Orem. What area are you looking at?
Enthusiast I
We just moved from Logan to Roy. Can't wait to plan some trips to moab and in the uintas.

Hey UT gang....75% chance we are heading to the Swell or other nothern Moab area to explore Fri-Sun this weekend. Any recommendations?
