Hello fellow overlanders. We’re really not new here, joined OB a while back, but are just now starting to get engaged in this community. We are a family of outdoor lovers and currently have a fleet of Jeeps (2017 JK Rubicon, 2019 JL Moab and my personal driver an our main overlanding rig, a 2021JL AEV build) along with my husbands F350. Each of my daughters love their Jeeps and are finally driving themselves around to all of their sports so we now have time to get back out to the hills and backroads exploring. We are mostly looking at casual overlanding with some mildly technical stuff. Truly we are just looking to find some quiet areas (primarily in the Northeast) to explore with our daughters and our Labrador Retrievers.View attachment 219587View attachment 219590

Hello Juan, welcome to OB community and glad you are new to overlanding. The camping overnight is not a requirement to hit the trails, meet fellow members, and enjoy the great outdoors. The camping part only comes into play when you decide you want to do some longer trips in the future. Now go hit the trails, meet some folks, help cleanup a trail or two, and have a great time.

Hi everyone! I am Kristine, and I have a 2018 JKU. I am located in LA, and I am currently a college student. I am an outdoor enthusiast , and started my overland experience during the pandemic. I fell in love with just being with my jeep in the middle of nowhere and smell the roses. I used to do tent camping and now I am building my own kitchen and sleeping platform inside my jeep!
