Rockford area always looking for wheeling buddies. And places to enjoy offroad.
I just joined up and missed this, is a spring meet up in the works ?Hello Everyone in Chicagoland Midwest Overland Bound,
Getting the word out that a meetup has been scheduled for Saturday October 7th at the Bass Pro Shop in Bolingbrook. It's next to the Promenade shopping center off the exit of Boughton Road and I-355. Meetup is scheduled from 1000-1200 or however long we decide to stay. An invite was sent out using the Rally Point feature on this web site, but it only allows up to 50 members in the invitation based on the member map. All are welcome, so trying to get the word out to everyone as there seems to be more than 50 of us in the area. It's also listed in the Meetups Forum.
It will be an informal event to get to know other members in the area and possibly plan a regular meetup schedule. Other topics of interest are trails and OHV options within a reasonable distance, planned trips like the TransWisAT, vehicle build features, communication preferences, dual battery systems, etc. If any members in attendance are able to speak to some of this that would be great.
Hope to see you there!

Planning for Memorial day weekend. Keep an eye out on my FB group. Most postings will be communicated through there. Feel free to send me a PM for more details. Anyone else interested in hitting some trails in Michigan this summer? Got them all mapped out here:Hello all I would like to go on the Twat run as well.
Which trail?I'm from Evanston and an off-road newb. Just joined the midwest Facebook group.
How many days to run the Wisconsin trail?
Have you guys run it before?
I can't wait for the warmer weather!
In that map? Yes it is. Plus many other off road trails in the UP. I've planned a trip to check out forest island route sand if possible part of the pipe line trail.The one above. Isn't it the trans Wisconsin adventure trail?
The Trans Wisconsin Trail can be done in three days but that doesn't include the time getting to the start and driving home after the end. If time is short, I would suggest you start the trail at Black River Falls and go north. That's the most scenic and fun part of the route anyways.My guess he's referring to TWAT. I wanted to go during memorial day weekend. The more I learned about it the more I realised it would have been to short. Most recommend 4 to 5 days to really able to enjoy the trail. Lots to do and see around it!
We'll be there when they open at 10:00.
