Yes, the Moab area is fantastic. It is non stop scenery. We are lucky to live so close. I am ready to go back for another adventure.

Yes you have to have reservations to stay overnight on the trail. I hear you can do the trail in a day but that would take a lot of the fun out of it and make for a long day. A buddy of mine got the reservations. You better start checking now. I think he got our reservations 4 months (or more) in advance. He said they are hard to come by.

Location: Berkeley, California
Rig: 2WD VW Vanagon 1990, Westfalia-Weekender
Experience: enough to understand when I have to turn around
Why: we love the outdoors and we need to get out there to stay sane :-)
What else: We are a family of 4 (parents, a toddler and a baby). We bought a 2WD Westfalia about 3 years ago, and since then evolved to BLM land lovers. We have some extra clearance and all terrain tires so we can explore some of the "easy" dirt roads in the national forests/parks. Our setup is super efficient, but we don't compromise on good food, good beer and good wine.

I found this site while looking for overland style ideas for my 1985 Chevy Suburban, and so far I am impressed.
The vehicle is an '85 K20 diesel Suburban that I plan on making as reliable as possible so that the family can go out in the desert a little while we are here and have fun. I am not into rock crawling or mud bogging but I do enjoy getting off of the road from time to time.
As for experience, most of my desert time comes from Iraq and Afghanistan so I firmly believe in having quality recovery gear, extra water and tires, and a dust snorkel with frequent air filter cleanings.
Have a great day

Hello all!

I am new to overlanding and looking forward to getting out there and increasing my knowledge of the outdoors, my 2017 Tacoma Sport, and meeting new people.

Welcome to the Great Pacific Northwet! Lots of great places to see around here. This time of year we spend time at Tahyua State Forest just south of you in Belfair. If you don't mind hanging with a bunch of Jeeps your welcome to meet up with us next time we are going.

Hi Everybody!
Just officially joined OB, have been watching the videos and checking out the forums for a while and really enjoy the walk-arounds and information. I've been off-roading for years and have recently starting moving more into the overlanding area from the rock crawling / trailing crowd. Still love the crawling but it's nice to setup a camp and hang out with friends out away from the hustle and bustle.
I have a 2015 Jeep JKU Rubicon that's setup pretty good for most everything offroad and now I'm starting to add more overland specific gear. Got a Terraflex Nebo roof rack ready to install and a custom drawer system on the horizon.
I live and work in Ridgecrest, CA so I have ready access to a huge area for offroad recreation. If anybody's in the area give us a shout and see if we're available to get together.
I'd post up some pics but I'm at work and don't have access at this time so it'll have to wait till later. Just wanted to say hello.

Hello Overlanders,
My name is Andy. I am from North Alabama. I drive a 2000 Isuzu Trooper. I haven't done any mods yet because I just picked it up. This rig is going to be my overlanding start. I am looking forward to gaining experience and building relationships with everyone.
I want to become a member soon, but need to spend the money on maintenance first

Welcome fellow ArizonianWell, How do I start this.
I started into this with an idea. I didn't know it was a "thing". I am a Truck Driver and I just get aggravated beyond words and was looking for a way to get away instead of hiding in my house when Im not working.
So I started checking on trucks, I thought about old Broncos, Blazers, P/Us, Scouts (still REALLY want one of those) and Toyota 4runners and Tacos. Settled on the taco. Long story to go with this, maybe Ill tell it at some point, but here it is.
2017 Tacoma TRD OR DCLB. LOVE this truck.
Currently it is stock, but it has really been impressive.
I have 5150s ready to go on, just waiting for the Dakars to come in. Supposed to be here sometime this week. Also coming this week is a CVT RTT. I have custom bed bars being made. So soon, very soon, it will be ready for some overnight testing to be done. Im getting it ready for a trip up the PCH the first week of July.
We don't get in any kind of hurry when we are out, so we are just planning on getting as far up as we can. Planning on starting around the LA area. We used to live in SoCal a long time ago, and we've already seen between LA and the border.
So, lets see. What else am I supposed to tell you.
My Name is Tim, my wife is Lynette, and we live in Central Arizona.
