I just joined OB this morning, so I suppose I’ll introduce myself.
My name is William Graves (OB # 30818) and my wife is Kathy.
We are from Texas and have been having adventures for the past 4 years in her 2020 RAV4.
During this time I have been building our over landing rig. I am very happy with the progress of my build and am getting really close to having it completed.
1997 Toyota Tacoma with a ton of mods and a few more to come.
Our first big trip in the Tacoma will be this August, when we will be traveling to Alaska.
Happy to be a part of the team.
Welcome from a misplaced Texan. :laughing: Good looking Tacoma.

Great website, looking forward to checking it out more.
My names AJ and my wife and I have been vehicle camping since the 1980s. Our longest full time outing was 7 years, travelling CONUS, and the Caribbean.
Nations visited- Canada, France, Germany, Bermuda, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Sicily, Malta, Greece, Columbia, and Jamaica.
We started out traveling in Jeep Cherokees, Wranglers, then Class B, super C and eventually A s. We currently travel in our 6X6.
My wife and I restore and build Rvs and off road vehicles for a hobby. I am retired USMC.
Our continuing travel plans this summer, is the east coast, Appalachians then the Midwest.
Hope to see you on the trails.View attachment 282268

What a coincidence.

And here in Detmold we habe the Hermann Statue. I can see it from my street.
And I‘m also a soldier. Currently in my 13th year.
I really don‘t know that there are so many german american nowadays. Do you speak a little bit of german in everyday life?
If I ever come to America I will visit your area for sure.

We have many similarities. :)

And if the situation here in germany and europe will get worse than now I maybe try to get a green card :)

And thanks to OB it is possible to meet new and interesting people.
