We had a really great trip on Section 7 of the Idaho Backroads Discovery Route!

Thanks @Codeman for the drone shots (and Northwest Coffee you roast for the trail! Love the travel filters btw)

John @jad3116 posted our next trip on the calendar! July 21-23rd to Polebridge MT and exploring our way back. I’m excited about this one

See you July 9th 1-3pm at Toys for Trucks for our meet up. Brandon @Ebbs will be reviewing recovery gear out on the trail. This is an important one if you can make it!

We got back yesterday from the NW Montana Exploration trip led by @jad3116 and WOW we saw some amazing country!

Saturday night we camped right on the Flathead River and hung out on the shore all night. Others can add their photos but here’s a couple I took.

Labor Day Weekend Trip is Posted!

Magruder Corridor, more info to come but save the date

I’m currently on the IBDR… unfortunately had to bug out of Muruder Corridor due to engine issues… very epic views though from what I saw leading into it from both sides.

Well if you’ve ever liked roof top tents but they were too much there’s a Chinese company selling on Amazon now. Price is good for a RTT

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!

North Idaho Monthly Meet Up
Eastern WA-North Idaho-Western Montana

WHEN: 1-3pm
WHERE: Toy for Trucks parking lot (old 4WP location)
5405 W Riverbend Ave
Post Falls, ID 83854

Bring a chair, a pop-up tent if you want, and lunch. This location will give us more room to spread out and meet. If you have a trip on the weekend of the meet up, then catch the next one. Weeknights are tough for those driving into the area from out of town So we are sticking to Sundays.


Goofy video but you get the idea
