Overland Bound is YOU plain and simple. Thank you! Corrie and I are grateful to have connected with the highest quality people in overlanding! We are lucky.

When things started to get going and we outgrew our tiny servers in the basement and the old forum software was giving up on us, we talked about the future with close members and friends alike, many, understandably said, "Well it will change. You can't do anything about it in a large forum". We felt like a family and our values were shared in common. We understood each other. Then guess what happened?

It didn't change. You can check the stats, we are at about 6,000 members now in the forums, and we don't show any signs of slowing down. As we've grown, what we have found is that the community, perhaps the world, was looking for a place where we don't have this is better than that discussions and it doesn't matter what your level of skill is. We help each other. This community has maintained that, and we are grateful.

We talk about rigs and overlanding all the time, I want to hank the people who are our community, here are just a few!

Awesome stuff! I was reflecting earlier on what I am thankful for and besides the obvious things like family health and job, I found myself thinking I was grateful for this place. Even though I just joined I find myself here a lot more often than other places and I find the membership here to be very welcoming and friendly. I really enjoy it here and I look forward to many more years of enjoyment.

To All of OB I am thankful also. This may be selfish but my world is a happier place because of all of you. Since becoming part of this ever growing family I have made the the most amazing friends to share/create life long memories. I reflect on the last six months and about 9,000 miles I have traveled in the name of Over landing. I am amazed at the experiences had and so looking forward to the future of this awesome community and the "epic" journeys ahead.
@Michael and @Corrie
Thank you for sharing your dream/idea with us!

Even though we in Norway don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I would like to take a moment and say thank you to everyone here!
I think this commmunity will only get bigger with time.
As my favorite youtuber would say.
"Being awesome is a choice" and it looks like people here have made that choice.
Thank you.

I agree to it all. I like the way it goes, and even as I dont understand all of what you can do and like in the USA, the basics are fun and are feeling good.

I have been really reflecting back on this year. In times passed finding things to be thankful for were never hard to find. thankful for the food I have, the roof over my head and the job that paid the bills.

This year held some differences, very important differences. This year I've made very important Friends, ones I feel I will know for the rest of my life. Thankful for the friendship OB has brought to me and the life changes from the friendships.

I've been counting my blessings this passed week. but seeing the above pics really struck home with me, really sums up what my sole has been needing and missing. The one pic with my arm around my wife almost had me yielding to onion ninjas.

This place is about alot more then wheeling camping and overlanding. I'm always grateful and thankful for the awesomeness that is produced here

A happy heart felt happy thanksgiving from mine to yours
