Overland Expo, West.. Who's going???

[Pointman0853]

We've got our tickets, and wondered who else may be headed to OE, West in May?

We re heading down the Wednesday before from Gardnerville, Nevada in our M-1078.

We'll be there but leaving the LMTV at home. The plan is to leave San Antonio Wed morning and spend the night in the Gila National Forest and get into Flagstaff Thursday afternoon. We should see about having a mini SS rally while we're there.

Is that a 2 wheel only route?

No. I’ll actually be doing it in a 2015 Nissan Titan. There was one spot with a 50” clearance over a bridge but they reinforced the bridge and opened it to all traffic.

Here’s my setup (keeping the thread on track it’s also what I’m bringing to Flagstaff).

Nice, I'll be taking the FJ on the RRW. This Idaho trip looks like a 2019 keeper!
My rig without the RTT last summer on the TWAT

I haven't bought tickets yet as I never know where I will be in the world for work. But if I get to go, I will pay at the door and park out in the field.

Wow, look at those ticket prices. Daylight robbery right there

The ticket prices aren’t just to get in there’s 3 full days of classes also. Try seeing 3 consecutive days of Major League Baseball and then compare prices.

Ordered my tickets! Uncle Sam said I could have some time off! Bringing my truck and will just be out in the field parking I'm sure. I usually don't like thousands of people around me. but then this wont really be a camping trip, It will be a mob scene. I will go see some things I'm sure, but not planning on standing in lines waiting to drive a rover over dirt mounds. Anyone else get their tickets?

 

[mkcoen]

Anyone else get their tickets?

Since January (but I couldn't sign up for classes until last month and didn't want the driving stuff). Agazza2, 1951M1078, Adventure Driven, Overdrive, and myself are some of the FMTV folks that are going to be there (although I'm bringing my POV not the 1078 ). Adventure Driven's M1079 will be displayed at one of the vendor booths.

We've had tickets since February. Purpose for going is to learn and catch up with our ADV friends on the 2 wheel side. Want to absorb as much as possible, before we begin our Hab build.
Probably getting there Wednesday, so look for us!

If there is a supplier for small orders (read one campers worth) get the information for me please! iIts far, far far in the future (planning a slide out mobile cabin sort of thing) but I haven't found a supplier for small quantities...yea I over plan...but less sticker shock when the time comes to pull the trigger and buy!

 

[Duckworthe]

I will keep an eye out for your trucks and make a point to stop by and say hi! It will be nice to put faces to the people that I blog with on a daily basis!

 

[Pointman0853]

It looks like we are leaving Tuesday, and will be there on Wednesday in the Dispersed Camping Area, north of the Vendor Area.

[1951M1078]

Not sure if I will make it. Are all of you going to park together ?

 

[Pointman0853]

Unless reserved ahead of time we all will be in what is described as 'Dispersed Camping', which is behind the event area in the pines. We are heading down Tuesday and will be there camping Wednesday. I think we may be a finalist in the 'Beauty Contest', so that means downtown Flagstaff on Thursday afternoon..

I'll try and swing by any LMTV I see but I'll be in my POV so a little more incognito.
