Decided to go adventuring through the river bed out in the Central Coast. The sand was very soft, crossed the river at a couple of spots, and found an abandoned Jeep. Somewhere out there I some how lost my front plate... Haha. Oh well, time to get custom plates I guess.

*WORK IN PROGRESS, STILL EDITING/UPLOADING VIDEOS TO YOUTUBE* I've been wanting to explore down this way for a while so I finally picked a weekend, grabbed a few friends and off we went. Here's a few pictures and some dash cam footage of our trip. According to Google Maps, it is 100-something...

Hello! Excited to be a member of this fine group. I don't know if I can say I'm even NEW yet to overlanding as that would suggest I've done some of it. I purchased my 2015 Toyota TRD Pro a little over a year ago and I am anxious to get out into the wild and inject some adventure into my life...

Hey everyone! This year I converted an ambulance into an adventure machine and am currently in Oaxaca, Mexico on my way to Panama. I'm traveling with my dog Dino the whole way and was wondering if any of you overlanders out there have made all the Central American boarder crossings with a pet...

Went for a little adventure with the kiddos today...trails around Canyon Lake aren't the WORST--but some are VERY rugged! I'm really happy with how the Rover did today! Didn't find an obstacle she couldnt overcome, and thats 100% stock! Cant wait until I'm able to finally lift her, and get some...

I'm in the process of planning a road trip from Sacramento, CA to the southern end of the Sierras and then heading west to Lake Nacimiento (Paso Robles, CA) to meet up with family for some camping on the lake. I plan to leave the Saturday before the 4th of July and spend the whole week camping...

Thinking of Doing Red Canyon to Bradshaw Trail. I would start at I-10/Summit RD Exit and finish in Blythe taking the 78 up to the 10. Google calls it 83 miles of dirt, with about 4.5hrs to complete, if you don't stop, which we will. Any of you done this? Is this better as an overnight trip...

Anyone in Stockton area want to meet up once a month or so? I would love to have something local, but not sure how many people live in my area. There is a meet up in Sacramento every Wednesday evening, but that's an hour drive for me and I get up a 3:30am for work.

Is anyone interested in trying to pan for gold this spring? California has been hit with some heavy rains and the streams and creeks have been raging, which should have washed down some gold nuggets! A buddy of mine tried gold panning the dirt under some of the larger boulders in nearby creeks...
