Howdy yall, the name’s John. Slowly getting into overlanding, but been camping and outdoors-ing all my life. My pandemic project was a trailer I built from scratch because I’m too tall to sleep comfortably in my ‘06 Tacoma. Hopefully I can figure out how to post a pic with this intro. I can never leave well enough alone, so I’m in the midst of a solid axle swap on my truck. Love going to the beach, but want to branch out and go elsewhere too as time/funds permit.

Hello John (@LoneStarMatterhorn ), welcome to Overland Bound. I am your Southwest Region Member Rep for Texas. Nice setup you have. Beach trips are definitely more doable in CTX since they are closer. I enjoy the mountains too, but like you said, time/funds limit these trips for me as well.

We have a local monthly meet up in Round Rock the first Saturday of the month: Recurring - North Central Texas Meet & Greet Hope to see you there.

There is also a San Antonio Meet Up here you can check out: San Antonio Monthly Meetup - Eisenhauer Park

Local information and involvement opportunities can be found here: Southwest Region (AZ/NM/TX/OK)

Looking to meet fellow members? Check out the Meet-Up event page: Overland Bound Meetups

Events in the SW region can be found here: Overland Bound Events SW Region

Want to know what members are planning? You can find out here: Overland Trip Planning

Also, if you are on Facebook, feel free to join us there as well - Overland Bound – Southwest

If you have any questions, please just let me know.
