Hey y'all--I'm Bryan; I actually made an account a few years ago and forgot about it. Finally registered to become an OB member and wanted to become a bit more active to see what might be going on in my area and see what I can learn from others on the board. Located in DFW, TX; more to the northeast of Dallas near Richardson. Started to get back into camping and specifically vehicle based exploration about 5 years ago when I bought a 4th gen 4Runner; it really ignited a passion I didn't know I had. My wife and I are trying to make it a goal to visit every national park and see the beauty and diversity of this country (though I know a lot of them we won't be wanting to drive to). The 4Runner that started it all just got sold last week to make room for a new build on my 200 series Land Cruiser which we picked up at the beginning of the month. Look forward to being here!

Hello everyone! My name is Carolyn, I am a very new overlander from New Mexico. My rig is a 2018 Toyota Tundra double cab. It is still entirely stock with the exception of the tires which I have upgraded to BFG ko2’s. I’ve done several small trips over this last year but look forward to getting into some more technical stuff as time goes on.

 

[WallyG]

Hello
I’m Curt I live on the north shore of Lake Superior. My rig is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I have very little over landing experience but have been back country camping and Boondocking for years. I love to explore and see what’s around the next corner and over that hill.

Welcome

Hello Everyone!

I hope I am doing this correctly!? We just joined OB our number is 27195. We are very excited to be a part of the community. We love overland camping and exploring wilderness trails. We run a 2019 Chevy Colorado ZR2. We use it as a dedicated trail rig and so far we have almost 9k of adventure miles on the odo. We love nature, T.R.E.A.D. Lightly and really enjoy the opportunity overlanding gives us to spend time as a family (except Fudge, our bulldog, he hates camping, LOL). We live north of Atlanta, GA so we spend most of our time in the Chattahoochee National Forest, Pisgah National Forest and Cherokee National Forest. We love the mountains and camping up above the bugs and humidity. We run slow paced, stop at waterfalls, eat well (not OVRLNDX / Mama Bear well but we try) and are not looking to break our rig. We are always looking for groups to go with on adventures and other couples and families to team up with on smaller runs. I am an old Eagle Scout so being prepared comes with my background. Really looking forward to all the community has to offer and hoping to provide some value to other members along the way! We look forward to seeing you all out on the trails! - Mike and Beth
