@nparker72, if you're in/around Rushmore, add the crazy horse memorial to your tour. It's in progress, so when you're old and take your kids there, you can tell them you saw it while it was still being shaped. Very worthwhile.

It was a neat place to visit. Less tacky than I expected. But I don't think my grandkids will live long enough to see it finished. 50+ years so far, and it is about 15% done.

Hello from West Virginia. My name is Sam
Just got my membership package in the other day.
Pretty new to the Overland scene. A few co-workers introduced me and I have been intrigued ever since.
Currently I am building a 97 F-150 with a 4.6L V8.

Hey Everyone -
My name is Joe Toup. I'm a very close friend of one of your members, Mason North @mmnorthdirections . I used to live in California many years ago. Had a Jeep when I was there and did some four wheeling in a 4x4 club. Moved to Alaska and lost interest in 4x4'ing...if you can imagine that. I've long since sold the Jeep. Now I live in Georgia. I recently got re-interested in 4x4'ing and found myself a little 1988.5 Suzuki Samurai. Been working on it since the day I got it to make it trail capable. Still building it up. Also not sure if it's Overlandbound worthy, but Mason got my curiosity perked when i was out in California last week visiting. So here I am.
I go by Jingusflob, JT, Jubee, Joe, or just about anything. Just don't call me a Yankee.
I'm curious, am I the only person in the South? Seems like most folks in this group are out West. Not sure how much Overlanding happens down in Georgia. I may have to commute...

@Jingusflob Welcome friend/brother from another, glad you made it! All the journey's ahead will be amazing. Look at Moab Ut, it's only 1700mi or 26hrs. Or how about Baja. We should plan on a trip soon!!!!! Or you can fly back and go to off the grid at the end of Sep.
Overlanding is like a Kinder egg, a different surprise in every journey (a gift).
When you have time checkout this thread, http://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/who-planted-the-seed-for-you-to-be-an-overlander-pic-stories.1850/ and OB on youtube.
Talk later!!!!
P.S. you still need to drive the FJ!!!!

Hi all, I'm Paul from Ma. I have been traving by pick up most of my life, my folks started me young and love to travel. My favorite saying is " lets go places and eat things" lol. lets face it a good meal is part of the fun. My ride is a 72 IH Scout, Ive had her over 13 years and is a project I don't think I will ever truly be done with. I also have a support trailer that started life as a Boston Edison cable trailer, now it halls my junk when I'm going out for longer then a weekend.
Great website, looking forward to spending some time here.

Hi Everyone,
I'm Rob from the Central Valley in CA. A long time ago, I had a '78 FJ40. Unfortunately, I had to sell it when I went overseas. I recently purchased a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock (say that five times fast). The purpose is to use the Jeep to get out and explore more. I am definitely a novice at this point, but am a quick study! Like many, I found the site and the forum by way of the Overland Bound YouTube channel. I hope to see you all out on the trails!
Best,
Rob

Just found this forum and glad I did.
I live in Bay Area, NorCal but travel the west and spend a lot of time in Southwest Montana. We have a '97 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 that has quite a few mods but nothing too radical. - OME suspension, factory lockers, HitchGate rear tire and gear rack, and a bunch of other minor upgrades. We are new to overlanding but have spent quite a bit of time exploring the Rocky Mountains in Montana. Lots of great trails to drive and see some amazing scenery. My wife isn't too keen on camping in grizzly bear country so we tend to do more long day trips - there are a lot of griz where we explore so I get the concern.
Look forward to learning more from the forum.
