OTH Overland

  • HTML tutorial
Hello, and welcome to our profile page. Dave & Michelle here, We both have many years of camping and outdoor experience, starting way back before the overlanding moniker became mainstream. I think it was just called car camping back then, and yes we are a bit older, but we still had cars back then .. but it snowed everyday and it was uphill both ways..lol. Dave has a long background in Search & Rescue, Fire Service and off road recovery and navigation. We both like to travel and explore in many ways and vehicle types. You will find us venturing all of the country in one of our Jeeps, Harley, Ram truck, Motor home or some combination of them. All these vehicles have been pushed far beyond where they were originally intended to travel. We love to discover new places, learn about history and take lots of pictures. Look forward to meeting many of the great members of Overland Bound during our travels. See ya out there somewhere.
