Awesome to see this thread take off! I want to pick up one of those tumblers. My LED lantern is from Walmart. It doesn't put out a lot of light, but it's ok for ambient light in the tent or on the table. But that solar light you had was da' bomb! Now I need to get to work on the OTO logo!

Welcome aboard and congrats on signing up at Expo!

Sweet! I'm pretty sure we can make that rig fit in our basecamp. Nice to meet you at Expo and awesome ride you have.

Cell service is crap on site. Some photos to come. Instagram is a great way to check things out too if people are using the hashtag "overlandexpo".

Just want to chime in and acknowledge my awesome camp neighbors. It was great camping with you guys. I feel we really found a nice spot at Expo East. Shout out to @outwardbound, @Wawa Skittletits, and @CFTAdventures. I'm horrible with names. Who was the OB Jeep guy and Land Rover guy with us...

I camped beyond the vendors last year and the ground was practically sand. That sucks if you need to stake anything down. I'm thinking about choosing to camp in front of HQ because the grass area seems a bit more solid. Looks like it's going to be great weather, but probably very dusty. I'm...

You can count on a lighter wallet when you leave Expo. Tons of awesome vendors, lots of swag, and lots of gear. I came back from Expo West with a SnoMaster fridge in my Tacoma. :) Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

So true. FRS radios could be handy to communicate within the event.

Yes, I start my shift Thursday afternoon so I can most likely help anyone with camp setup Thursday morning. I'll send you a PM with my contact info.

This sounds like good campfire conversation (not that we can have any). Can't wait to hear this story.

Yep, that's so we can meet with the Biltmore staff outside the entrance (group sales I believe) to get our info. They are super helpful, but they close at 5pm. So we need to get there to get our passes that let us through the gates at any time.

Yep, when we first get there we'll need to check-in at the gate. They will give is a pass of some kind so that we can enter the gate at any time (for when we leave the site). I'm pretty sure we're able to tour the Biltmore as well. The best time to do that will probably be mornings and before...

This was my setup at the Appalachian Toyota Roundup event in Tennessee a few weeks ago. It rained the entire time. DSC_3374 by Jonathan Smith, on Flickr

2014 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Magnetic gray metallic.

Awesome. Thank you. I think if we can find a good fuel stop on the south side of Winchester, that would be awesome. That way we can fuel up, bio break, coffee, whatever, then hit the road south. Probably stick to 81 south (not 83 unless you're going to Baltimore) so we can make time and get...

Fantastic! Maybe I can bring a few surprise treats for my new mini-bff's.

I had to Google "imagine trailvan". They look pretty cool, and affordable? I'd be interested in checking yours out.

For anyone who is interested, here is a link to a map of the event location on the Biltmore Estate (via Dropbox). This gives you an idea for a layout of the land for those who have not attended. You'll see that there is camping to the far right with a designated camping area for motorcycles...

Now I've got two Frogg Toggs tops. The one from many years ago that feels like coated paper, has a broken zipper, and a hood that is pretty much useless. And the new Frogg Toggs River Toadz jacket that I just received and was only able to use once. It's a night/day difference with the new...

Gotcha. Understood. I'm not attending the Roof Top Tent Rally in Virginia for the same reason.
