Being it's almost thanksgiving I just wanted to say I'm extremely thankful for all of you I've had the pleasure of meeting and traveling with. It's been a busy year, and I've been able to get out more than I had in the last few years combined. Thanks to all of you for the memories made this year! Here's to another year, more trips, more friends, and more memories!

 

[PapaDave]

We had a fun day today on our meet up/Christmas Tree Hunt

Just a few pictures I took, wife took a few more. Thanks to everyone who came out! I had a blast seeing everyone again and meeting a couple new faces

I’m hoping for Fall 2024 to take a group down to Death Valley to do an awesome route I used to lead my previous OLB group on. The trip has us camping mostly at old abandoned mines with some up around 8600’ in elevation. Part of the route goes by the Salt Tram and passes through Cerro Gordo. If you don’t know there’s a good YouTube channel called Ghost Town Living chronicling Brent who bought a ghost town, Cerro Gordo. From there the trip drops into DV through Saline Valley from the backside of Cerro Gordo, goes through Badwater Basin, Lippincott Pass, Race Track playa, Titus Canyon. It is truly mind-blowing. I like to end the trip at Father Crowley Canyon where the fighter jets fly through the canyon below you at the look out point. Storms have heavily damaged DV so it will need to be fall next year as many sections are closed.

I stumbled upon this video that I thought was cool giving a little first-hand account of some of its history.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Dave, aka PapaDave, and the North Idaho Monthly Meet Up is gathering the SECOND SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH 1-3pm. We figure that’s after church, doesn’t take up your whole day, and usually doesn’t compete with youth sports. We will be meeting the second Sunday of every month except on Easter and Mother’s Day.

It really doesn’t matter what you drive just come ready to discuss adventuring with like-minded people. Topics will range from gear, recovery, driving tips, and route planning to get out and use the equipment we’ve got! We will meet the first hour for lunch while discussing trying and such, and the second hour to check out rigs in the parking lot (weather permitting).

As I mentioned before it doesn’t matter what you drive as long as your vehicle is as capable as you need it to be. There really isn’t a perfect vehicle or set up so we choose to not get hung up on how outfitted your vehicle is, what’s important is that your vehicle is prepared and capable to tackle the trail you want to explore.

A little about me, I have now coordinated 3 different regional meet ups over the last 5 years and have led about 35 Overland Bound trips. With that said I’ll be the first to admit I still have so much to learn! I’ve had the fortune to call Michael (OLB Founder) and Kent (Executive Director) my friends and have witnessed first-hand their desire to see people find adventure out on the trail. Below is a link to a video Michael did about my rig, I share it as I find it helps to put a face to someone when we are meeting new people. I’m pretty much a dork in the video, and well, in person too.

Adventure is necessary so let’s go places!


Goofy video but you get the idea
