New to the forum and found the Ohio Roll Call so I figured I'd chime in!
Cameron here from Indian Lake by Mad River Mountain.
Just getting into the whole community of overlanding and I'm quite impressed with what I'm seeing already with the passion everyone has for it!
May be new to discovering overlanding but I'm no stranger to the outdoors!
Anyways, here's my little taco [emoji16]

Welcome aboard!
Other than southeast Ohio in the foothills of Appalachia, the area east and south of Bellefontaine is some of the only terrain in Ohio that isn't pan flat. It was a great place to learn to drive, especially as I had sporty cars. And hiking was nice when you could still walk across a farmer's land just by asking.
I spent many a summer at Indian Lake. My grandfather had a cabin every year at O'Conners' Landing, my aunt had a cabin near Cranberry, and the amusement park was still open when I was a kid. Now my mother has a lakefront home beside that church retreat just past Dream Bridge. I have a *lot* of great memories from the area!

I'm always up for meeting up, however I do not know of any outings planned. Chillicothe is a pretty popular area to trail ride. I have a couple leads on spots but I am not sure how passable they are in moderately equipped overland rigs.

Subi Sam, pleasure to meet you. I will have to scott some roads/trails and get back to you on that one. The trails I'm aware of right are pretty rugged.

Welcome to the group, love the Outback. I almost went that direction myself.

The WRX Wagon must have been great. I ultimately decided I would outgrow its off-road capabilities too soon so I went straight to the T4R. By the way, have you installed your PrinSu yet?

Ummmm, no... Waiting for the Medina guys from the Ohio 4Runners FB Group to get things organized so we can do three at once.
The WRX Wagon was fantastic, but not for off road. I had it mildly prepped for autocross, so it had trouble with some driveways. The OBXT was lifted and had skid plates, but the turbo not kicking in at low RPMs and high gearing of the manual made it not so great for crawling. I still loved both of them, though!

I've been following your build thread and looking forward to your review and thoughts. I'm still trying to decide between the PrinSu or Gobi.
