Wow! Thanks, Kent! We’ll definitely have to get in touch with some of the “locals”. We would especially be interested in the clean-up in the El Dorado NF...when we’re able to head up north we’ll reach out. The trail is likely not too distant from our cabin off Hwy 50. Appreciate all the great information!

The Long Canyon trail starts off of Silver Fork Rd south of Kyburz and goes up to Packsaddle pass then we leave through Strawberry. It usualy it opens in May and closes in November +-.

Here is the link to the Sierra Foothills Overlanders meet-up. We are also on FB.

Oh wow--our place is in Strawberry! Can't get any closer than that. One of our neighbor friends lives right off Silver Fork Rd over in Kyburz. If you head by Strawberry Station on your way out after a clean up day, say hi to Squirrel from Deb & Doug! Great folks there--they have a mean stock of IPAs and fun local wines.

Thanks again for the information--we'll be hitting you up when we head up that way! Sounds like a great trail. I'll have to take a peek at a map and see if it's one of the same trails we've explored already (we've only had our place in Strawberry just over a year, so still getting to know the area). Sounds like good times! Hope to have an opportunity to meet the group up there someday soon.

That’s great maybe we can get together and do some trails together. Do you like overlanding?
I love overlanding. Just got my first rooftop tent and can’t wait to use it. Have you been any adventures lately with all the chaos going on today. Let’s keep it touch so we can get together as soon as we can

Hello everyone, my name is Chris. Just bought a 2019 Chevy Trail Boss. Very novice to overlanding. Looking for ways to get my family of 5 outdoors to see the country. Hoping to find advice on best ways and equipment to move my family around the country.
Welcome from Idaho Chris..

New guy here from Wyoming. Been adventuring for years on motorcycles. I just love the looks of the Overland rigs and I’m ready for more comforts than minimalist bike travel! My new wife and I will be out and about in my paid for 2011 Chevy Silverado. Hope to run into some of you guys!
Paid for is great!

If you downloaded the app it was probably the old one and not the Beta test app. The old app is no longer supported and you will need to acess the forum using a web browser.

The new app should be out of Beta very soon.

Hiya folks!

I'm new to the overlanding lifestyle. I'm in Philadelphia and I'm deciding whether to make some additions to my 2014 Ford Raptor SCREW with 93K on the clock or put the money into a new Raptor and mods. I'm interested in learning from those with more experience about everything from vehicle issues to places to explore.

My experience to this point has been limited to traveling overland in various military vehicles.

My wife and I have been watching Overland Bound on YouTube for some time and with quarantine we decided to become members. We took our F150 down to Baja the first of March for 2 weeks just before everything started going crazy. We had a great time and are planning to go back. Living in SLC Utah we have spent a lot of time out exploring the back country. Like I said we have an F150. It is a 2003 setup with a 4wheel Hawk camper from the 80's that I rebuilt. We also have a 2010 Tacoma TRD Off Road that we are going to replace the Ford with.
