Hello, Overland Bound community.

[Mark and Linda Gordon]

We are new members, Mark and Linda Gordon. We live on the Olympic Peninsula in the State of WA.. in Clallam County.

Although I have owned a number of different types of “off-road-4WD” vehicles since I was 19 and have been in the back-country many, many times, I obsoletely do consider myself a novice. My wife Linda of 18 years never enjoyed getting out into nature and camping or exploring until we were married and I introduced her to what fun experiences she could have.

Currently, we do not have an Overlanding vehicle capable of the type of Overlanding we wish to do in retirement. However, we have ordered a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon that should be delivered in November 2022. So we do not have a picture, yet. (smile).

We have not decided on a name for our Jeep Gladiator, nor a name for our Social Media posts. We do, however, have a number of really cool names on a long list.

We became members of the Overland Bound community because we liked your philosophy of what it means to be an Overlander and felt this would be a great group of people to become acquainted and associated with.

While we are very young of heart, and spirit, and always ready for adventure, we are also past being considered even middle-aged (smile). We are looking for a group(s) that we can learn from and enjoy the Overlanding lifestyle.

Peace and Cheers

Mark and Linda

Welcome Mark & Linda! As @M Rose mentioned we are your closest member rep. (We live on Camano Island just across the pond from you). Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have as you explore the site, and keep your eye on the calendar and Rally Point tabs as that is where you will find local events posted. Not a huge amount of events in your area, but you will find some if you travel down to the Seattle/Tacoma area, or heading across the water up in the north end. We do get over to the Sequim/Port Angeles area fairly often and there are a lot of good forest service roads to explore. The Gladiator is a great choice of vehicle, we came really close to getting one, but went with a wrangler instead. Look forwarrd to seeing pictures when you get it!.

Thanks, Dave for connecting with us. Looking forward to meeting you sometime in the future. We had first considered the hybrid Rubicon. We eventually migrated over to the Gladiator because we wanted to tow a small travel trailer to use as a base camp sometimes. We considered and did a lot of research over the past year on many types of brand vehicles like the 4-Runner TRD PRO, which I owned a 1988 4-Runner EFI that I bought new for many years through the 90s when I did numerous exploring trips in the Northern Cascades. Our Gladiator order (placed on July 31st) will not even begin production until the 1st week of September as the production of the 2022 models has ended and the 2023 model production will start then. It will be one of the first 2023 models to leave the factory. Then it will be 3 or 4 months in process before delivery. There are not any major changes if any, so I hope the first ones to leave the factory are NOT lemons (LOL)(fingers crossed). then we will spend the winter doing a moderate build with accessories like a winch and a few off-road lights and a bed cap, and a few other needed Overlanding equipment. Otherwise, the Gladiator I ordered will be equipped with just about everything one can order and will be a perfectly capable vehicle for our purposes. Nothing fancy, only practical and utilitarian. It will bring us many fun adventures.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Thank you, Roots66, for the warm welcome. Our 2023 Gladiator Rubicon we ordered (August 1st) has been added to the production queue last week (for the September production start) and is expected to be delivered in mid-October. There do not appear to be any parts shortages at this time. Then the fun of adding a few accessories for safety over the winter, and then joining in some group activities in the spring.

Welcome to Overland Bound, it's a great community, and I have discovered that if you need information just ask and someone will probably know the answer or be able to point you in the right direction.

Welcome to Overland Bound, it's a great community, and I have discovered that if you need information just ask and someone will probably know the answer or be able to point you in the right direction.

Thank you for your welcoming advice, Lone Wolf 1965. I have read through several threads and observed that everyone who offers advice is thoughtful, helpful, and sincerely genuine talking from their own experience. I feel very comfortable asking for advice or information about a topic of concern for me when the time presents itself with the confidence of receiving friendly (neighborly) replies of high caliber. I am sure I'll have some.
