Hi all. Just joined OB and looking to learn, share, and have some great adventures! Would love to know if there’s a local group of members looking for travel partners. Reach out to me if you’re interested in teaming up some time. My wife Kris and I (Willy) travel in a 4WD Adventure Van, and also recently purchased a Jeep Wrangler to spend all our money on upgrades!! . Lookin forward to traveling!

Hello @Rroamer Welcome to Overland Bound.

I am the Northwest Director. @jcgraves3 is your closest member representative. There is a monthly meetup in PDX, as well as a few other events that you might be interested in.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.
