Welcome to the forum. I'm not located in your area, but I know we have a few members on here from down that way. I've been down that way a few times and hopefully one of these days can actually spend some time exploring.

Nice set up. Like you, I'm more partial to ground camping with an air mattress. Try to leave my rig as light as possible when on the trails. Or if I want to go explore, my wife can stay at the camp. I'm entertaining the idea of a m416 trailer outfitted with an RTT someday. But till then, it's...

I'm still searching for the perfect camping chair. My wife and I are very close to actually buying a 5th wheel and living in it permanently. So I'm on the hunt for some decent chairs.

The trails shouldn't be too bad. I thought this would be a good one since it's moderate and we can use it as a "proving ground" for our rigs. Also with a group, no one will be left behind. This will also be a good opportunity to air down, air up, etc. and see what works best for your rig and...

Sweet trailer. Wish I had the funds as well. Best of luck in selling it.

Looks good. Details?

Welcome to the forum. We're planning a "meet up" and trail run in Indiana the weekend of June 25/26 in Dugger @ Redbird. We have a thread going in the "meet ups" section of the forum if interested.

Maybe we can also use this time as a training opportunity. Such as, we could do some mock recoveries or something. I have a winch, but I'm not very proficient with it. Someone who knows a lot about winching could step up and give us all some pointers.

Awesome! That would be great if you can make it the whole weekend.

Costco? I might have to get a membership at one. I think there's on in Iowa City, about 45 minutes away from me.

Looks like we're shooting for the weekend of June 25/26. So far we have a few people that are tentatively going. Now I wish they did make an OB flag so we could stake it in the ground at the campsite. lol Anyway, would be great to meet in person. Even if you have to come down in the evening on...

My wife and I want a camper. Just don't know what we're going to buy yet. I want a motorhome so we can pull the Wrangler. She wants a 5th wheel and a new truck. lol. Hopefully in a couple months we'll know what we're buying. So for now, it's hotels or tents.

Wow that's cool. I need to get back to searching for a trailer. Putting the fridge on a slide out is a great idea. I'm getting more inspiration for my build as soon as I can find a reasonably priced M416.

That makes sense. I'm hoping to get my hands on a trailer this year and put an RTT on it. My plan as well if it's just me, then it'll just be the Jeep. If the wife and kids are along, we'll have the trailer and RTT.

Sweet rig! Really like the clean look of the winch/bumper combo. Do you move the RTT between the trailer and truck, depending on what your trip needs are?

Welcome to the forum. You'll find a very friendly community of overlanders here.

There might be a couple more. I'm not sure if they know this trip is being planned. Plus I have a friend at work who is working on his Dodge truck and wants to come along. Would be great if we get a good showing from the Midwest. I think @Wildland Outdoors posted some campground info somewhere...

I'm more into exploring than seeing what rock I can conquer. I'd be happy to hit the trails with you.

That would be awesome if you can. I'd enjoy a fire side chat. Your contributions on here are always very much appreciated.

If not, we've been talking about other weekend runs not too far from home. But that would be great if you can make it.
