We are a group who likes to get out often and use the gear we’ve got to see amazing places. Post #2 on the forum thread has the 2025 plan.

Currently we do not do meet ups, just a trip a month. DM me with questions

Hi Everyone!

My name is Dave, aka PapaDave, and the Inland Northwest Adventure Group had
an amazing 2024 going on 15 trips.
For 2025 you are invited!

It really doesn’t matter what you drive as long as your vehicle is as capable as you need it to be. There really isn’t a perfect vehicle or set up so we choose to not get hung up on how outfitted your vehicle is, what’s important is that your vehicle is prepared and capable to tackle the trail you want to explore.

A little about me, I have now coordinated 3 different regional meet ups over the last 7 years and have led about 48 Overland Bound trips. With that said I’ll be the first to admit I still have so much to learn! I’ve had the fortune to call Michael (OLB Founder) and Kent (Executive Director) my friends and have witnessed first-hand their desire to see people find adventure out on the trail. Below is a link to a video Michael did about my rig, I share it as I find it helps to put a face to someone when we are meeting new people. I’m pretty much a dork in the video, and well, in person too.

Adventure is necessary so let’s go places!


Goofy video but you get the idea

Let’s see your rig in the driveway photo!

Does it normally snow this much? My neighbor is telling me it’s more than normal?

Personally I’m loving it! Although I haven’t hit any trails yet.

My work truck stuck at the prison in Airway Heights a few weeks ago. It found the bottom of a drifted over swale pretty quickly.imagejpeg_3.jpg

Tuesday was Sherman pass coming back from Tonasket, Wednesday was Loup Loup pass coming back from Twisp. I am not looking forward to next week when the temps go up, I would much rather work and drive in single digit or below zero temps.20221220_152633.jpg20221221_155046.jpg
