Hello Everyone!

I'm Oscar, a relative novice to the overland world but eager to start exploring. I'm in Northern California, near the bay area, and try to venture out with my wife, Kai, and our Lab as much as possible. We roam about in a lightly modified 2019 Toyota Tundra.

Hello all!
We are Igor and Katrina from San Diego.
Just got a 2022 4runner TDR-off-road.
We have been camping for a while, but have zero experience in off-road travel. We would love to benefit from the wisdom of the OB community.
Greetings Katrina & Igor, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello, Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @Sandpoint Steve is your closest member representative.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.

New member here, I am a novice overlander and hit the trails when I can. I have completed the Trans American Trail and would like to do the Continental Divide next.
I live in Virginia Beach, my rig is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. Trying to build it out with a bed rack and RTT. Looking at getting a metal cloak lift in the near future as well.
other than that, keep on the trail!!

Since I have not been very active, I figured I would give an updated introduction.

We started our journey with two Land Rover LR4s. As we transitioned from TN to MO, we also transitions to a Ram family of vehicles: my wife has a 1500 Rebel with some extra skid protection, and I have started building my 2500 power wagon.

I look forward to gaining some insight from our community as we finally buy time to get out and enjoy nature.

See you on the trails!
