Hello Fellow Overlanders,
We are coming from San Mateo County, Ca. Our rig is a GMC Canyon with a Four wheel Camper. We're still learning but have been up and down the Southwest, and up to Northern Canada.

Hi OB Fam! I’ve been following you on IG and didn’t think to see if there was a forum. I love the places people post up and continue adding ‘must visit’ places to my list. Saw info for a meet up at Brasstown Bald in GA on Jan 2, and trying to plan a visit.

I’ve spent the last 2 years building out a Stewart & Stevenson M1078 into an overland vehicle. It’s a little bigger and not nearly as stealth as other rigs. Had the goal of taking this through Central and South America.

Looking forward to meeting like-minded individuals and having some adventures.

Hello Overlanders,

My fiance and I are from NYC and over the summer we converted our 2007 Toyota 4Runner into an overlanding rig. We are now venturing throughout the states for the next 8 months visiting National Parks and other beautiful locations. We are very novice as coming from the city we did not have many opportunities to go camping but we are travelers and adventures at heart. We are glad to join this community to learn from other overlanders!

Hi All and Merry Chirstmas to everyone.

Joe from the San Fernando Valley, north of Los Angeles, CA.

I drive a 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 4WD. Stock except for the tires but Santa got me some sliders and a skid plate - he knew exactly what I wanted!

I had some off roading experience with an old Chevy blazer in the high and low deserts of Southern California, back in the early 90s. I still consider myself a novice, though. I had a new family and a new baby daughter and had to put the toys away to raise her and take care of my family. Now, 22 years later, I am happily retired, daughter is out of school and I can play in the dirt again. So, I am a retiree, with a camera out to find interesting thing to photograph.

I am looking to meet other from the community.
Take Care, - Joe N.

I started getting into offroad experiences 2 years ago with a 2003 Jeep Wrangler. It was going to be tough to go camping with and to bring my kids, so purchased a 2020 Jeep JLU Rubicon a couple months ago. I like some of the slightly technical trails, but really I just like to get out on the FS roads to interesting places. Planning to do some camping and travel with it this year.
Experience: I've car camped throughput my life, but never done vehicle supported travel with camping along the route. I have backcountry backpacked and have loved the outdoors my entire life. I'm looking forward to another extension of that experience.
