Looks like we have a few folks from the Midland/Odessa area. After this virus stuff ends, we need to do a meet/greet someplace.

I'll be hosting a meet and greet at The Brewery LBK in downtown Lubbock. My wife is the brewer and first beer is on me! Now to vet past this virus named after a crappy beer!

There have been a few more checking in lately. Getting them to come west will be a chore !

No good places of offroad around Midland or Odessa that I have found.
There are some trails up near Lubbock at Buffalo Springs Lake.
We are going to head up that way one of these weekends.
There is also a new OHV park down near Ozuna/Sheffield also called Escondido Draw.
Once this Virus stuff is over, we will plan another M/G.

Hello from Bandera Texas. Not sure where I fit in since I've only just started thinking about this whole adventure, but my husband has done this type of stuff before and really wants to do it again. We have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that we have started doing mods to. Most recent was a dual battery system and a set of Rock Slider steps. At 4'10" it's difficult to get into our Jeep as it came to us with a lift kit installed so the steps were a must. He's got all kinds of plans for the rig, but I have to remind him we have a kid due to start college next year. I'd love to meet up with others from this area.
Welcome to the OB forum and life style.
We are not so much of an overland type of couple, since we have a 32' class C RV and tow the Jeep.
I would tell you to do what fits your lifestyle.
For us, just getting out of the house, and putting the Jeep into the dirt is good.
We are old enough now that sleeping on the ground is not comfortable.
We have to unpack very few things when we arrive at a campsite. The campsite could be primitive or an RV park.
We enjoy both.
Welcome also to the world of an empty nest!

Hahaha. If we go much further west, we'll be in the ocean. :-)
I would certainly be interested in going west to Guadalupe Mountains NP or Sitting Bulls Falls in NM for a meet up on the northern side of I20. If you want to go south, then Big Bend NP and SP or even Ft. Davis might be viable options.

Howdy neighbor, I am right down the roadish from you guys. My truck is still in the shop and should be finished soon. Hopefully, we can meet up and find a trip to go on in the near future, ya know, once all this COVID junk goes away.

We'd love to meet up and take a drive. We can't do much quite yet as we are just getting started, but we can do back roads pretty well.
