We plan on going for the weekend, just did a day trip last year and then hit the NWBDR for a couple of days.

Registered! I too am looking forward to this trip, show, camp trip. We will depart Boise 0700, on Wednesday morning. We are planning an over-night, then completing the travel on Thursday AM. On our trip back, we are headed north up to Chelan Lake, then across to Grand Coulee Damn. The down through the Lake Missoula washout, western Washington flood lands, down to Walla-Walla. An overnight somewhere. And a quick trip back to Boise on Monday AM.
For anyone who is on the fence of indecision, register and go. We went last year and it was brilliant. The event was run in a very professional manner, the vendors were all great, the discussions and displays were thoroughly informative, and the people that attended were all fantastic. We will not be able to attend this year as we'll be in the Yukon somewhere at that time, but if not I'd have registered already.
The single best part was the ability to talk to numerous people about their set-ups, get real world opinions on trucks, rigs, camping set-ups, etc. We talked to at least a 1/2 dozen people with Four Wheel Campers and took their advice to heart when ordering ours.

I agree with this 100%. I could only go for Friday last year but it was great. Conversing with the other attendees really made the event though I found the courses fundamental but interesting as well. I can only make Saturday this year but I’ll get up early, drive over the Cascades & do it again.

Hey Jeff, see my posts above. I got up early, drove over & stayed until 8p on Friday last year. I’ll probably do the same on Saturday this year. If you are thinking of Saturday, I’d consider going with you. My R50 isn’t likely to be Trail ready so I’m just going for the experience. It will be a great way for you to see other T4R5Gs & get some ideas of what you want to do with yours. I really enjoyed the other attendees last year. A very inclusive event!

Awesome! What time you all leaving? We can convoy if the timing works. I imagine I'll be ready to get on the road before noon.
I am new to this. What are the activities in this kind of events? I want to go try it. Do we go in the mountain and camp there? Sorry for sounding stupid!
Hey Kent,
I'm still not sure if I'm going just yet, my work has me going to a convention in San Diego about the same time. but if plans change I'll let you know!!
For activities, check out the link in the original post. The website has a list of offerings.
If you want to camp at the rally site you simply get a 20x20 square in a grassy field to setup, right next to the next 20x20 plot. The website shows an aerial picture or two of the site.
As for driving into the mountains, there are trail runs during the days to see some scenery and get some driving in.
