Overland Expo West is in a new location this year. Registration is now open with limited allocated camp sites, they also have a huge open camp site as well. Just a reminder since they were sold out last year on the camping spots.

Jeanie and I went to EXPO2013 and had a grand time. A very high RV.com TC forum attendance with all the usual suspects. It didn't hurt that it was the last time the old Expo grounds had reasonalbly good weather during the event. A cool biting wind was the only woe. However, I was there to attend some seminars of which I had high interest, and they were great. There is no listing yet of who and what the seminars shall be. So, I'm probably not going unless by Feb. they list events I'm interested in. It seems to me that the Expo people are fair weathers. Add a little discomfort, some pricip, and a dash of unpreparedness and they whimper away. The other observation is the Euro Centric nature of the beast. I don't care about Land Rovers, extraction clinics or sand mats. The Whaz himself in May 2013:

Since I'll be in the area in late April or early May, I suppose sticking around for a few more days to attend this Event would be beneficial and worthwhile so I'll sign up for it.

Weather hasn't been the greatest at either event the last few years.

I saw photos of rigs stuck in mud to the axles two years ago when it rained/snowed.

Lots of trees in that park last time I was there (a few years ago) so that should help with the winds. Its quite a nice park.

Last year the wind storms were ridiculous, the year before that it snowed. Hopefully this venue will be a bit better

Ahhh... something close to town.

I wonder what prompted the change in venue.
