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.

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.

We also have the statue in the town square. Germans settled alot of the northwest, *Danzig North Dakota, then we came to MIssouri. Grossvater came to Odessa from Danzig.
We were all brought up in German and some Russian... When my grandmother wanted to talk "about" us kids, she would use a variety of German and Russian to confuse us. ;)
Most of my family is losing the language, but they still yell at each other in German. lol - thats always fun.
The world is indeed in rough shape. I pray for God to heal hearts.

Ich hoffe, Sie eines Tages personlich zu treffen, kontaktieren Sie mich jederzeit privat.

** For those folks interested in Hermann, He was kind of a George Washington , He was the first to take on the Roman legion and win the field, securing Germania from Roman rule.His story is fascinating.
