Thrilled to connect with everyone!
New to the overlanding scene, but I've been driving off-road since my grandad let me drive his
Willys M38A1 through the Savannah River swamps when I was a teenager back in the mid-70s. Man, I wish I had that thing! But it was just 'surplus' back then, not a collectible.
My last trip was to the National Forest just outside of Great Basin National Park in August 2018 in our '08 Jeep Commander. It was a 30-hour drive out there from Georgia, but worth every mile
We didn't see a soul for four days and hiked all around the National Park (our hammocks were hung about 10 yards from the NP boundary.)

It's pretty stock other than larger tires. I pushed that thing to the edge of its capability in Nevada, so I'm upgrading to a Gladiator Rubicon as soon as FCA can get me one in the Gator color!
I live in Canton, GA.
Excited to be here and looking forward to rolling with some of you!
