Hi there. I'm new to overlanding. I like to be outdoors, and love to surf up and down California. With three growing kids, I thought we'd do some adventuring and appreciate the great outdoors.

Now that we are in Spring, I'll be heading out on a few trips soon!

I bought a 2019 Tacoma, that is fairly stock. Here's the rig a couple of weeks ago at Hollister Hills. That was my first time taking the vehicle 4-wheeling.

Beginner overlander here. I fell in love with the lifestyle when I had my JKU and spent 9 days in Big Bend Ranch and National parks exploring. I no longer have the JKU, but I'm loving my WK2!

Hi everyone.
I'm new here and a novice to Overlanding. I grew up here in Portland Or. I left in 1984 to join the US Army. Served for almost 10 years before returning to Portland.
My Overland rig is a 1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ. It has a manual trans. about a 5 in lift with 32" BFG KM3's.
I'm also into mountain bike racing and riding. I just plain love to be in the woods with my XJ or mountain bike.
