Bald Eagle State Forest in a RAM or 2

We are planning an off pavement travel/dispersed camping trip to BESF this year. Nothing fancy with tents and stock trucks. We will be using our 2015 RAM 2500, BUT may also trek out with our 03 or 99 Dodge 2500s. We camp every weekend from start of fishing season in April til November in...

Rothrock State Forest in a RAM or 2

So, before I have been able to make my first planned trip, I got a curveball. So another member was asking how to connect BESF with Rothrock. Then i realized, hey, I could do this and incorporate one of my favorite state park campground, Trough Creek. Just emailed for the public uuse and...

You got the Allegheny state Forest close by and then Bald eagle, Rothrock and Moshannan not to far away.

Check out the threads if you get a chance.

Looks like you have some cool vehicles to choose from.

Hi everyone!

3) Rig: 2003 toyota tacoma 4WD a/t (only upgrades: moog coils, kyb monomax)
4) Overlanding Experience Background: Moderate off-road experience during day trips, but never any off-road living/overnight camping.

First Post - Happy to begin this new adventure. I know nothing about overlanding, so I'm looking for a mentor in the Texas area. My wife and I will be retiring in a few years and we plan to overland in the southwest BLM and parklands.

Welcome Scott! I see you live in San Antonio. My daughter lives there also. Nice area but crowded!

 

[TexasGMG]

I should have written this sooner, but I've spent the last hour or so going through your "tips" and "gear" archives. lol
We live in the San Antonio area and love camping. Decided to try and involve camping with travel and ended up looking into overlanding. We own an '08 FJ Cruiser and I'm in the process of building a small trailer to haul gear (got crowded in the FJ with the gear and our dog)
Looking forward to learning a lot and having fun.

Badge showed up. Now I need to get a rig. I sold the FJ so I could get a truck. Found a 1st gen Tacoma for $3700, we'll see how that goes.

Awesome spot! It's now called Minglewood tavern after a big renovation. That was the St. Peters fiesta...always a good time!

[Severn724]

Member since 2017, listen to the podcasts, and am now for 1st time taking a break to peruse the site. Looks great. Can't wait to dig into the Forums. I love overlanding and off-roading, and worked on a ranch in the west in earlier days, did a lot of offroading for work and LOVED it. Great job with OB.

 

[RoamWithJon]

Howzit, my name is Jon

Living out in Tracy, Ca at the moment

I drive an orange 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. Nothing much done to it aside from a set of Black Rhino Boxer wheels wrapped in Grabber at2’s.

Not much experience, mostly just small trails and mud pits.

Excited to meet some new people, and go on some new adventures!
