Hi all, forgot to introduce myself.
I'm relatively new to Austin TX, originally came from upstate NY.
I drive a RAV4 Adventure, just recently upgraded to this model. It's been my dream car before I even knew about overlanding.



I have minimal experience, but im very excited to participate in the community and learn more. I'm very familiar with camping and it's a passion and love of mine to be in nature, I've always wanted to travel and roam and see the wilderness all across the states so it seemed very natural to fall into this. Since beginning this part of our journey we've traveled 7k miles doing just that. I'm very excited. Thanks for having me!

It was good meeting you and the gang this morning. As I mentioned, I’d like to do the Hill Country Loop during wildflower season. It would be a nice day trip with a few water crossings on 90% dirt roads.

Is this Hill country day trip open to all? If so, I am interested and would like more info.
Thanks

Welcome to the group! Those Rav4s are nice!
The fraction of the Austin group I met were nice so you're in good hands there.

Rex, @TahoePPV, let me know when y'all do the Texas loop. I wasn't able to make the Outdoor expo this fall so i want to make the loop!
