This episode we are joined by new parents Chelsea and Jesse as well as their baby, Lucas! We jumpstart this episode with a new segment, Turbo Trivia! Can you beat our scores?
We learn how the couple found overlanding, define the distinction between overlanding and off-road wheeling, discover how the Houston Overland group evolved from local meetups to a tightknit community, and how they grew Washington Overland to include over 10,000 adventure-seeking members.
The episode features memorable tales from the Twisted Sisters, a challenging ride on the Alpine Loop in Colorado, and the unique experience of transitioning from Texas's limited public lands to the vast opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. Whether it's navigating snowy conditions on Umtanum Ridge or learning to adapt overlanding adventures for a growing family, these stories showcase the true spirit of outdoor exploration.
We close out with some more or less random recommendations!
