It is an amazing experience, high in the mountains and surrounded by thousands of Expedition vehicles and their owners. Of course the best part is schmooozing with folks, especially in the compound formed up by the truck camper crowd - presided over by Bryan. Many of the folks that I knew from this forum were in attendance including Whazoo, Seldom Seen, Sheep Camp, 69Avion, BKA and others. It is one of the peak experiences with a TC. Afterwards we traveled all through the West for one of the best trips we've ever taken.

We won't make it this year, unfortunately. There is an event at the same time that we can not miss. I'll think about you guys though.

I took the time to read your article in TCM, nicely done, excellent photos you have done of that event.

Also an idea, for those that can't travel or have a different time period to travel, there's the Northwest Overland Rally in Washington. I went last year and plan to go again this year. I went in 2011 and 2012 too.

As for the Overland Expo West - undecided at this point.

I missed last year but went in 2012 and met the forum group in 13 and hope to make it back in 15. It's really something to see at least once whether or not you're a hardcore over lander with aspirations of a trip through South America or not. The camping area (big field) with everyone's different rigs/stories is reason enough to go.
