Hello Ben, Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @OTH Overland is your closest member representative. We currently do not have a member representative for PDX area, although there are several meetups being planned.
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.

Welcome Ben, Looks like you need another Jeep to round out your vehicle list if you continue to follow the new/old or Noah's ark method of collecting... lol Your plan to follow the Baja route and explore down south is one that is on my to do list also. As @M Rose mentioned I am your closest member rep, located in NW Washington. Please feel free to reach out anytime if you have any questions.

Hi, I am Vitoria. Los Angeles, CA based. Drive a Nissan Sentra 2019. I am a complete novice and I don't know where to start. Any help is very much appreciated. I have done some backpacking and hike often, but that's it.
Thank you


Hello Vitoria, welcome to Overland Bound. Lots of good people and info.
