I am brand new to Overland Bound and to overlanding, although played in the dirt most of my life, "mudding" in a 58 Willys wagon and racing dirt bikes in the Mojave and play riding into my 70th year. My name is Rennie Leach but my friends call me Doug.
I am anxious to start overlanding as a novice. My vehicle is a 2010 Jeep Liberty that I have been modifying mildly for overland travel. Enclose are a couple of photos. I live in the hills outside of Arlington, WA. I am looking forward to meeting others in O B.
Thanks

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @Ubiety is your closest member representative.
To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).
Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.
Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.
Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.
Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.
Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.
Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.
Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.

Hi everyone, new member as is the way of this thread!

I'm Daniel and live in the Norcal area. I've been a long time outdoors person, but never truly got out where no one travels.

I've only recently discovered overlanding and how to really get completely off the grid. I can't wait to meet up with more like minded people and learn the ins and outs of this way of life.
I just recently bought a new truck that I've begun outfitting and can't wait to get it off the pavement.
