Hi there, Fairly new here, been exploring the site when time allows. I suppose it is time to introduce myself. Located in Hansville, WA and always working on different projects. Currently a 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade. When I get a chance I will post the rig and what has been done or is planned to be done.

Inland Northwest Monthly Conference Call on the third Sunday of each month @ 1900 hours PST; hosted by @Sandpoint Steve

Some key events coming up in 2020:

February 15th 9:00 am until 4 pm Mule Outfitters Open House this is a meet and greet type event. Check the provided link for more information.

February 21-23 NW Washington Monthly Campout located at Kulshan Campground along Baker Lake Rd for more information contact @Gabriel Bozeman

June 15-18 WBDAR (Washington Backcountry Discovery Route) Sections 1-3. Starting at “The Bridge of the Gods” explore the Washington Backcountry Route on your way to Plain, Washington for the Northwest Overland Rally.

June 18-21 Northwest Overland Rally in Plain, Washington. Great for new and experienced Overlanders a like.Camping, Classes, trail rides, and great times. Preregistration is open now through March 31st tickets will also be available at the gate. RSVP by May 31stto camp with fellow Overland Bound members, Families and Friends.

July 3-6 4th of July Weekend at 2 Rivers Ranch in Dayville, Oregon. Join @2RiversRanchExpeditions as they host the adventure of the summer. the adventure starts on July 3rd with a potluck dinner, campfire, and camping at 2 Rivers Ranch. Drive through Dayville in the 4th of July Parade as we take to the trails for 3 more days of exploring and camping.

Labor Day Weekend, First Northwest Overland Bound Regional Campout. This event is still in the planning stages with exact times and locations still be worked on.

Overland Bound has much to offer besides just the forums. By becoming a member, you have access to the Rally Point, where you can set up trips, meetups, or classes. You can also view up coming events on the Rally Point. Member Maps shows you members in your area, trusted shops, campgrounds, dispersed camping, and lots more. Then the biggest advantage (for me at least) is keeping this forum alive.

Welcome. I hope to see you around the trails. Do you have your Ham lisence?
Not yet, been planning on getting it, but some outside issues have taken my study time away.. A few months back I took 5 practice tests and averaged 85% but wanted to take all the practice tests and feel 100% confident in passing.

Libertys are rare here but definitely welcome. Look forward to your input. I think the original Liberty one of the great Jeeps.
