Hello!

Location: Mesa, AZ
Rig: 2022 Ram Rebel
Experience: Mostly on-road road trips

Just getting started and trying to figure out how to outfit my rig without voiding my warranty. Well, if I do, that’s probably okay too.

Hello Paul, Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @OTH Overland ] 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. You currently have several RP’s in your area. Sunday August 14th is a day adventure to Lunchtime Peak https://www.overlandbound.com/event/north-idaho-adventure-lunch/
And the fallowing Sunday at 7:30 pm Pacific is the Inland Northwest Conference Call. https://www.overlandbound.com/event/inland-northwest-conference-call-august-21-2022/
And lastly the Second Annual Salmon River Beach Bonanza https://www.overlandbound.com/event/2nd-annual-salmon-river-beach-bonanza-2/

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

Paul, Welcome to Overland Bound!, Nice looking rig. I am your closest member rep, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions as you explore the site. @M Rose has already given you a run down of places to checkout in the froums which are great places to get started. A lot of great information on here, and the best part is getting out and meeting others in your area for exploring.
