Hello all, Ken from Orange County, NY. New to Overlanding but love the outdoors and camp as much as I can. I picked up a new to me 08 Rubicon and looking to do some exploring and camping in the near future.

Welcome Tyler! I'm on Whidbey Island (north of ya). How's the diesel ZR2?
I'm your closest Member Rep, but @Slimpartywagon and @Sandpoint Steve are both Member Reps and we can answer any questions you may have. Don't hesitate to DM.
Not sure if you have heard of it, but every year there is the Northwest Overland Rally in Plain. Super neat for good exposure to the Overlanding world.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
-Check out the local region's forums for events and meetups in your area.
-Check out the Rally Point system and the Member Map for events and other people around you. Super helpful.
-Our region also has a FB page.
If you need anything, feel free to PM me or tag me in the forums at @Gabriel Bozeman.
Cheers!

Hey David!
Welcome, glad you posted. Like you said there are a number of great people here to learn from and just have fun with. You’ve got a number of choices for regional meet ups from @Kent R who heads up the Sierra Foothill Overlanders to @Magic Mike in Gold Country. I head up the Tri-Valley meet up in Pleasanton CA. Most new people say the hardest thing is coming the first time, after that they usually find like-minded people looking for adventure :)

Hello, My name is Tyler from Hood River Oregon.
I am keen to learn new techniques to get my 2wd Sprinter van through adventures mostly in the Northwest, and also do a couple trips to the southwest every year. Looking to expand my ability to explore with friends and family.
My company builds water filtration and purification gear, so hoping we can be a resource for people hear with water systems.

Hello all. Bill here in NC. I am a long time off-roader new to the group. I am slowing a down a bit and overlanding is beginning to appeal to me more. I sold my trail rig (97 Disco) a few years ago but I am ready to start building up my 04 Discovery for more comfort and travel rather than pure offroad. Looking to learn a lot from the group. Thanks!
Thanks Mike...I'm interested in the WBDAR to the NW Overland Rally. Is that a mandatory 4wd situation?
Cheers, Tyler
