Hi. I am Michael Riyanto and just joined OB. I am in San Francisco, CA. I have a 2021 Subaru Outback. Bone stock. Didn’t actually buy it for overlanding (i.e., I learned about overlanding after I bought the car), but more for shuttling my dogs to the trails. Experience: Novice. I took a 2-day off-roading course in Mojave in a Wrangler, did Titus Canyon trail in DVNP, and roadtripped to Bahia Concepcion sticking mostly to the paved roads though. I look forward to meeting members and exploring backcountry roads.
Hi Michael

I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Pleasanton CA there is a meet up on the second Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The East Bay meet up has a great 2022 lined up and you are invited! You can see the plan under the second post in our thread.

Hi Everyone. I'm Mike from Tampa, FL
My Family and I love to travel the back roads. We started a few years ago in our 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R and recently purchased a 2020 4Runner TRD Off-Road as a 2nd adventure vehicle.
We are still very Novice with anything truly off-road, but we are more experienced back country campers;). Looking forward to being a part of the communityView attachment 222348View attachment 222349
