Thank you!

Awesome thanks!

We are looking forward to the rally this year! Last year we stayed in Leavenworth, but this year we are camping. Cory is currently brewing an IPA to bring up and share (just an Oregon Coast home brew)...... We did the Hole in the Rock trail ride last year in our Jeep and highly recommend it! See you all there!

@Eric Wager well if you get down here, let us know! We will show you our favorite off road beach roads and exploring areas. 😄

Welcome! Expedition Overland got us intrigued in this adventure years ago, too. We also enjoy watching Chris weekly and other YouTubers. Last weekend we hosted Jason, from Primal Outdoors, to our area, complete with some awesome beach camping at our favorite spot In Coos Bay, Oregon. Try to make it to the Northwest Overland Rally in June in WA, it’s a lot of fun! -Julie

Welcome Back to Oregon! We are in Coos Bay, Oregon....a few hours southwest of you.

Thanks for sharing! I agree, the maps are expensive and kind of hard to follow. We did route 6 and route 2 last year and used both the maps and gps routes that I mapped out and uploaded to our Garmin. Thursday we leave on another trip and doing route 6, route 2, route 4 and 5-2. I‘ve mapped them all out and have them on Gaia, but will have the paper maps along also. Again, thanks for sharing! -Julie

Welcome! nice jeep. 😄

I took a photo from the other side. 😄

Great idea! We are registered for the Hole in the Rock trail on Saturday the 30th. We don’t have any knowledge about these trails but have a winch, an air compressor, hi lift jack, tow strap and who knows what else by then. 😄 We are looking forward to this Trail! Cory and Julie

Dan, I definitely will. I plan on sharing some of our other adventures, too. Im excited to see others post about their trips, as we are always looking for ideas in the Pacific Northwest. If anyone is ever interested in route 6, we are pretty detailed about the route in our simple video.....we had both a paper map we bought for the route and also gps, which was perfect. https://youtu.be/5kH-k-JomWM -Julie

haha a blue tarp. 😄 Maybe we will.

we just signed up for the Saturday trip to Hole in the Rock during the NWOR. 😄 Super excited. -Julie

We used to take our kids backpacking and of course ”nicer” tent camping, but they havent joined us yet on an overland trip.....most because we have a 2dr jeep. However, this summer my parents are joining us on an overland trip around Oregon and they are hauling 2 of our kids and gear. Looking forward to it! So....we shall see how it goes with our 15, 13 and 11 year old kids sharing a small tent. HAHA.

Sounds like a great day! We havent explored too mich up around that area........yet. 😄 We are in Coos Bay and dont have a lot of free time but do occasionally get up north. If we come up that way in the jeep, we’ll let you know! if you ever get down to the Coos Bay area, let us know. Our usual play areas are the local coast dune trails and the Elliot State Forest...... -Julie

We searchd for the A-6 crash last summer near Christmas Valley but failed. This year i have the exact location and i know we will find it. Curious about the Steens crash, will have to look into it.

We are planning on signing up in the next few days for the Hole in the Rock outting during NWOR this year. It looks great!

How was your day trip? Weather good? We were planning on heading to Waldo Lake area or Camp Sherman this weekend but the weather took quite a change and we cancelled. Missed the good weather be a day or two......

John, we aren’t cardiologists, just work in cardiology. I (Julie) am a cardiology nurse in the Cardiac cath lab pre/post unit and Cory is a radiology technologist in the cardiac cath lab. :-)
