Welcome to Overland Bound Craig.Hello all,
I am new to overlanding, but have done a bit of camping. Getting a little old for the sleeping on the ground thing.
I am from the Ft Lauderdale Florida area, where there is not much of what most of you would consider 'overlanding.' However, I have friends in NW Montana and have visited many times. Love the NW. I currently do not have a rig, but plan on retiring in the next few months, and selling the bigger saltwater boat and F250 to help fund an exploring rig.
I will probably lurk a bit and follow the comments as I gain experience. Glad to be aboard.
Regards, Halffast

Thanks for all the welcomes and regional contacts. I'll be sure to catch up with you soon. ThanksWelcome to Overland BoundOld backpacker who can't haul 80 lb packs across the miles anymore but still like to explore the back country. I drive a 3/4 ton off-road friendly truck capable of L3. I have 4-wheeled off and on for 40+ years, mostly solo, but would like to explore overlanding and joining kindred spirits.

Hallo AbeHi Everybody, - My name is Abe!
I drive a 01 Lexus LX 470 with some modifications. I very rarely get a chance to go out wheeling but when we do, we go out with the whole family (3 children under 13!). I wish there were more public lands to explore in and near WI.
Here are a couple of pics from a recent trip to Silver Lake Dunes State Park in MI.
