    Had a great first meetup of the Sierra Foothills Overlanders meet up. Very interesting presentation from @OBB on his trip to Baja plus we had our new years raffle. M&J Automotive hosted the meet up and donated several raffle prizes. Its going to be a good year for our meet up. Remember anyone can start a meet up just go to Rally Point and get started.

    Thanks, @Kent R for the opportunity to share some experiences of my Baja trip. Lucky us to have M&J Automotive hosting us in their shop.

    Does anyone have some pictures of the event?

    Off to the Mendocino NF for a couple of days to make sure the Gladiators new rear end is working correctly before we head out on the CDT next month.

    Got to give a huge shout out to two of our Ambassadors @Firemom & @Magic Mike together they are Ironhorse Overland. These two have been adding a large number of POI's and tracks to the OB 1 App from the Mojave National Preserve. You guys are awesome, THANKS!!!

    Your welcome. It’s been a lot of fun and hopefully we’ll have more to add before we leave.
    Encourage everyone to go to volunteer.gov and check out the Mojave Rover program. It’s new and has some start up growing pains but is well worth the time.

    Thank you @Kent R, but we have been truly enjoying our time here at Mojave National Preserve. Volunteering in the National Parks gives us a unique way to give back to the places with love to spend time!

    Like @Firemom (my lovely wife) said, I would encourage anyone and everyone that loves our National Parks to come out and Volunteer!!!! They won’t be sorry they did it!

    Thanks to everyone that has been adding POI's and Tracks to the app. I approved 20 in just the last hour, very cool to see the map filling up with all sorts of resources.

    Not looking forward to installing a new duel battery system in the JT. We are expecting a storm so its a good time to get in the shop and get after it.

    Hello Kent, my name is John Cross and I live in north Alabama. I very much want to drive the CDT but I'm having no luck here finding someone interested in going with me. My intentions are to do the NM section first, I would like to find someone willing to go with me but I'm not sure how to go about it. I would like to do it the fall of 2024, can you provide me with some guidance?

    Thank you
    John

    Just stoped by Rack and Road Car Rack and supply store in Sacramento Ca. They are getting a nice inventory of overland and recovery equipment in stock. They are a OVS dealer.

    Good to know! It’s amazing how many places are starting to carry this type of stuff even REI is starting to carry more and more “overlanding“ type gear as well as marketing…

    The stuff this guy had was all quality and at a decent price. I am going to try and get a discount code out of him.

    Thanks for stopping by the "old guys" camp spot last night. (Darren, Larry and Lyle) You might be on to something...a seniors division?
    I would have liked to have gone with your group to Afton Canyon but I have a doctor appointment Monday morning.
    Maybe next time.
    Thanks for leading an awesome event!

    Actually the shop is in Diamond Springs. He is the best axle shop I know. Dan Taylor, Taylor Axleworks 530-409-9938. Dan has done two of mine plus just about every other rig in the Sierra Foothills Overlanders.
    If it turns out to be to far contact Shaffers Offroad 510-431-3094 I am not sure if he does it but he is the best offroad shop in the Bay Area.

    Just wondering if Overlandbound will have a booth at Overland Expo East this year (2021). If there is one and you need volunteers, I'm willing to be a volunteer. I'm getting there Thursday October 7th roughly around 8am, so I can help set-up the tent and displays.

    Hey Kent, when you get a chance, will you please send me your GPX file for your route. I'm trying to lay out my own on GAIA GPS and having some fun, but I'd like to overlay your map onto mine to see how close we are.

    Dennis,
    You are not showing as a member something must have gone wrong during your activation. Please email support@overlandbound.com and he should be able to fix it fast. I would do it but I am out of town at a large Trail Guardian Event in the Mojave Desert.
    Sorry for the inconvenience

    Hi Kent, thanks for organizing the Zoom yesterday. I enjoyed the topic and the welcoming nature of my first sort-of-in-person meeting. Any advice you have about a good second step would be appreciated. Best Regards, Dennis
