    Any Hunters Among Us?

    Agreed 9Mike2, the 300 WinMag is an all around great round. Ft/sec, foot pounds of impact at 1,000 yards, less drop, cost per round etc. It will knock down anything on this continent. I like the .270 as well, very fast, very flat shooting, but not quite enough punch for big game out past 400-500...

    Let's see those rigs in action

    You had to use the wench or the winch to get him out? I know up there on the range either would have worked! Just kidding, I grew up in Hibbing. I recognize that red mud. Happy trails! Sent from my QTASUN1 using OB Talk mobile app

    Hi Eddie, love that truck! Reminds me of my first rig long ago - an '83 F150 Supercab. Drove it till the wheels feel off. Have owned 2 other F150s since then. Yours looks to be in great shape.

    Paddle Boarding

    I bought a paddle board recently (tied to roof rack in photo) mostly because my daughter loves it. But I'll jump on it too. If there's water where we're going I'll bring it. Thinking about a kayak too as I'm 6'6" and am a little top heavy balancing on a board. My daughter makes it look so easy!

    Bangin' around the Echo Trail, Northern, MN

    Great pics @britz! That's my home country, grew up in Hibbing, MN several years ago. Used to go up through Ely to Voyageurs and the BWCA often. I now live in Illinois amidst a sea of corn and fairly flat terrain. These pics bring back a lot of memories.

    Thanks! Been looking at this site for a while, surprised I don't see more Rovers. Lots of Jeeps and Toyotas, great trucks. But with LR's off road reputation thought there'd be more of them.

    Chicagoland/Illinois

    Hello fellow Chicagoland overlanders! SW burbs here, Shorewood. Been looking over this site for awhile, makes me feel I should move to Colorado. Any meetups, trips or trails planned soon? Would be great to get everyone together.

    Overland Bound Founding Principles

    Thanks for sharing your story Michael, hope to sit next to a fire with you some night and tell you mine. I share your love of the outdoors and find just about any excuse I can to be out in it and usually take my kids with me. Thanks for starting this community. Like you, I need it.
