Good afternoon, LeRoy here from S. Florida. Apparently I've been overlanding for years? (Living in a car, LOL) Thank you for the membership status and I do look forward to meeting as many of you as possible. I know many people that have seen more than most in a dodge caravan. Fuel, camera, water, beef jerky and desire. Can't wait to meet up, L.

Checking in from San Antonio, Texas! I've been building up my Jeep in the last two years. Since then I've taken trips to Big Bend, Grand Canyon, Moab, and various National parks in the area. Can't wait to explore some more!

What's up everyone!
I appreciate the add to the group. My name's Dustin and you'll usually find me running around the Ozarks (SWMO / NWAR).
New to overlanding but not to camping and exploring.
Drive a 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 - She's not setup for overlanding but can get me anywhere I want to go.
Looking forward to learning from the community!

My name is Mike Freer, I live in Shingle Springs CA. I currently am running a 1993 80 series Land Cruiser. I have been Overlanding since 1952. My family didn't call it that, we were just going camping out of our car and traveling as far as we could go. My dad would make a bed in the car for travelling, we slept in a canvas tent or outside on the ground. Purchased my first Jeep in 1978, had two of those, and have had an 90 Ford Centurion, 1991 Land Cruiser and now have my 1993 LC. I also have a truck cab over camper, Honda Pioneer and trail horses. Lots of outdoor travel in different kinds of vehicles.
Hi all,
I am in the western valley of the Phoenix area. Like to meet up with others in the area for day trips and overnights when the weather is nice. I am new to AZ rock crawling but I have a decent idea of what is needed to Overland, been doing my homework. Good in snow but moved to AZ to stay away from snow.
2019 TRD Offroad
Sliders are out for powder coating now.
Have most of my emergency gear, portable air and basic camping gear but still outfitting.
Tuscon has an active group but would like a group a little closer to home.
Hope to meet up in the near future.

Thank you! Honestly it was a relatively easy route. Set up for motorcycles so most 4x4 vehicles can handle it. I'd say the challenge for us with it being our groups first trip was deciding when to camp vs pushing. We could have done better planning around camp spots.
Biggest obstacle we had was changing my flat at 10000 ft on a mountain pass :) If we had to do it over again we would have spent more time around Alpine Loop exploring. We finished 2 days (we planned 7 days) early because there are plenty of improved dirt sections you can make up time on in the north sections.
