Posted to the @michiganoverland FaceBook group as well, but looking doing another get together in the next few weeks for Western Lower Michigan; last time we met up in GR, but I think most of us could handle making a short trip of it. Ideally, I see a trail day, followed by dinner and/or...

I lived more or less full time at Lake O'Neill for my last year in the Corps. This was six years ago now, but it's a great little spot. It's a pretty typical RV campground, full hookup, partial hookup, electric only, dump station, shower house, etc... Bugs aren't bad, and it's not too hot...

In case you guys missed it in the regional forum: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/index.php?threads/14567/ TL;DR: the DNR is looking for public input on keeping Forest service roads in the UP open to ORVs, or not. Maybe not super relevant, since either way doesn't affect the vehicles we...

I'm probably preaching to the choir - or maybe beating a dead horse - but I'll throw in my .02. I currently own a '03 Dodge Ram 2500, Quad cab, short bed, diesel 4x4, as well as an '07 Toyota FJ Crusier. I DD the Ram whenever I can't take my motorcycle for some reason. Before the Ram, I had a...

In for the discussion! I'm currently located in the Muskegon area, but like to get Up North as often as possible.

Dude, "Overlanding" is just a churched-up way of saying "car camping." As they say in certain circles, "run what ya brung", enjoy yourself, and focus on getting your life back together, and being an awesome dad to your son. Being financially responsible as an example to him ain't exactly a bad...

This is a good plan. I'm not sure what my schedule is going to be since it's still so far out, but if the stars align I'd be interested in caravaning or getting together with folks in the UP, prior to the actual event.

I was thinking the same. We're are you located? I'm starting in the Muskegon area, not sure when, though.

Keweenaw Overland Adventure Retreat Sept 13 -16, up near Houghton. Came across it on the Facebook group earlier today.

Who's all going to KOAR in September? I just bought my tickets and campsite. I'll probably head up early since it starts on Thursday, take the week prior for vacation. Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using OB Talk mobile app

I'll second what my fellow Belleau Woodsman @MEU(SOC) has to say; military training may not be perfect, but it's definitely a good starting point, since it's meant for the average 18 year old kid, or retarded 2nd Lieutenant. Get a good lensatic compass, a protractor, and a box or two of grid...

Welcome Back, winter.

No worries, man; I've been known to do the same from time to time. Keep your eyes peeled for another one in the next few weeks.

What @RyanC said. A Velcro backed hex patch in PVC would be sharp. I don't usually put stickers all over my vehicles, but maybe a subdued (dark gray?) vinyl for a window so it doesn't look so much like bling.

Thanks, I'm pleased with the turnout given the time of the year and this being the first get together I've planned. Everyone who came made noises to the effect of wanting to do it again, and wanting to get dirty, so a campout and trail ride should go over well.

Had 7 turn up for the Meet and Greet yesterday in GR; seem like a bunch of cool folks. I'm going to try to get another one going in a few weeks, I'll keep y'all posted.

Big thanks to all of the folks who showed up. All OB members, but I neglected to get badge numbers from anyone. Cool, Down to earth folks all around; we're going to shoot for another get together in a few weeks. I'll post up another Rally Point here, as well.

Sorry to hear that, Chief. We'll catch you at the next one. My condolences to you and your family.

As Brian said, Always look on the bright side of life! Enjoy it; mine is still hibernating for the winter.

Dude, Sno*drift. Do it.
