Trip report, Overland Expo East
As promised, I took a lot of pictures. I'm not a good narrator so I'll let the pics do most of the talking. Some of the highlights. Every type of rig imaginable. A Big Boys (and Gals) Toys dream. ...

I guess ours is the only one that can't fit in the photo ;)
The XP with the boats on top was picked up brand new at the OE-W and taken immediately on a many thousands of miles trip into Alaska, the Yukon and the NW Territories. He's a kayaker and guide and I think stopped and worked a bit while up there. He taught several classes including one on prepping a Truck for a camper.
The Hackneys old Bigfoot/Fuso combo was repaired and sold once, and then a second time to the current owners. A pretty sweet rig still; he still has one small dirt bike in the cabinet uner the cabover.
No matter what you camp in, this is a very fun event. The last night I stood outside our camper (apologies to my wife) and talked with a small group for a long long time. One couple was a man who guided hunters and flew bush planes in Alaska, his wife was from Poland, and they liked to travel Europe on motorcycles (favorite places Bulgaria and Romania for fence less off-road opportunities...they were camped in a tent), another couple with the lady being from Poland...a guy in a giant HDT Volvo conversion camper. The conversations covered.....just all sorts of things and places. What fun, and what fun people.
