We had a great time exploring part of the Ozarks this last weekend. Over 30 rigs, miles of trail, plenty to do and see. Beautiful part of the country!

We had a great time at RITO this weekend. Looked for you, took us a day to realize there are 2 airstrips. Drove around, didn't see any any blue Tacomas. Sorry we missed you, maybe next year.

Sounds good. There are a couple of us coming through STL, will get there Friday afternoon. We'll try to find you after checking in.

That's true! If we meet up when I get there you can judge my mind then. My wife thinks I'm crazy.

Awesome, thanks! Sounds like a lot of you are driving Tacomas, I'm in a Land Rover so will be odd man out.

We're leaving earlier as well, leaving Thursday afternoon from Chicago, spend night in St Louis, then head to Byrds Friday morning. Will try to look you up when we get there if the camp isn't too full.

When you heading to the rally? We'll be passing through St Louis on way from Chicago early Friday morning.

Awesome! Where will you be traveling from?

That looks awesome! I have an '05 LR3 as well, would like to make some of those mods. Curious, did you have to re-gear the transmission to run the bigger tires?

Southwest Chicago suburbs, love Shawnee area but didn't know there were overland trails we could use.

Ok bummer. We're not leaving till Friday morning. Hope to see you at the rally.

When are you folks headed to Byrds? We'll be coming down from Chicago and passing through St Louis, could meet up with you.

Howdy OB Midwest, I'm headed to the rally this fall for my first visit to this event. I watched the video from Michael and Corey's trip, figured I'd give it a go. I created a Rally Point if anyone is interested in traveling together to the event from the Chicago area. I'll be leaving from...

My wife and I are headed to the Rendezvous, first time attending this event. Leaving early morning of 16th from the Thornton's gas station just off the US Hwy 6 exit off I55 South in Channahon, IL. It's a 9 1/2 hr drive from the departure point, hoping to arrive at Byrd's by 4pm. All are...

Howdy Everyone, just catching up with this thread. OB member Brandon Jones has done both the TAT and continental divide trails. Documented both on his You Tube channel. Can check him out at Trailspin TV on YT.

I have no doubt, but already booked for hunting and camping in Colorado this fall. Would not be able to make 2 trips with time off work and budget.

I won't be able to go this fall. Possibly next year. Do you have a route planned out or have an idea how long the trip would take?

When you thinking of going?

Welcome to overlanding! If you're new to the outdoor adventure life, you have the right plan to start out. Start locally, start with the basics. I agree with toxicity - all you need is a tent. I am married like you and my wife is not as "adventurous" as I am, so need to provide for some...

Agreed, not much in Illinois for off road travel. Some off road parks exist, which are good places to develop your off-roading skills and see what your vehicle is capable of. But they lack that sense of adventure after making a couple laps. I've tried looking to see if there are any trails or...
