Adams County, Ohio

I’ve found gravelmap.com helpful in finding places to softroad. I drive a 2018 Ford Escape so have to be careful. We’ve found some great places to explore in southern Ohio. It’s fun to be out and only pass people in side by sides and quads.

I have an Escape and often while softroading I find myself surrounded by only jeeps and side by sides. A couple weekends ago it snowed here in southern Ohio and we went out exploring. We saw about four side by sides. Those folks looked miserably cold. And there we were on heated seats. Lol...

I keep a 2.5 gal wavion metal nato style can in my Escape all the time with no problem. I even have had the larger 5gal can laying on its side without any smell what so ever. Just open them very slowly. Sometimes they’ll burp out some gas when opened too fast. Then it’s my fault when they smell...

We just got back from a trip using the Dewalt fan for the first time. It was great. We used it outside to keep cool and keep the bugs at bay and in the tent. Don’t think we’ll ever camp without it again. Got Dewalt because I already have the batteries. It has got a lot of use around the house...

A quick overnight while passing through Iowa during an Ohio to South Dakota trip. And the Iowa sunrise.

Update: Got my vanity call sign, W8JWH. Still WRDE855 on GMRS.

“Microlander” love it. I microland in a 2018 Ford Escape. If overlanding is like backpacking with a car. Microlanding is ultra lite backpacking with a car. Whatever gets us out on an adventure.

Welcome to OB. We’re from east of Cincy. Brown County.

Welcome. From east of Cincy.

We did reserve the site. We drove from Cincinnati and wanted to make sure we had a place to stay. The hiking trails to see the falls were amazing. One of the most beautiful hikes we’ve ever taken. We did 3 miles downhill. Parked a car at the bottom. The roads were mostly a nice small gravel and...

I look forward to hearing all about your trip. Have a great time.

Welcome to OB. We live east of Cincy. I work in Sharonville. Great to see more SW Ohio represented here.

The sound of running boards crunching is a warning before something else gets damaged. ;)

Can’t help much but I do have a daughter and son-in-law in South Dakota. Sounds like a great trip!! In SD the people are flying by all the great stuff at 80mph and still doing the speed limit lol. Oh, you have to visit Wall Drug Store while at the Badlands. It’s a tourist trap requirement. I...

Somewhere in Bald Eagle State Forest area, PA.

Welcome to OB. My daughter and her boyfriend live in Queens. Met them this weekend in PA for camping and trails. Camped at Ricketts Glen State Park. Great waterfalls!! Beautiful hike. Drove some forest roads in the Bald Eagle State Forest area.

Howdy, welcome to OB. My daughter and son-in-law live on the west side of SD. About on hour from Rapid. Way out beyond no where. We’ve only been out there once. Plan to visit in July. Gonna make plans to camp at the Badlands. Look forward to exploring your state.

Welcome to Overland Bound. My daughter and her boyfriend live in Queens. This weekend we met them in PA. Camped at Ricketts Glen State Park and drove some forest roads in the Bald Eagle State Forest area. Had a great time even with the rain. Hope you find some great trails in your area.

4x4 just lets us get stuck even worse further down the trail and really dig it in good trying to get out. Lol. As with 4x4 take recovery equipment and find out how far it can go. Find your own limits to. You can learn a lot that way. As you find limits then find the solution to get past them...
