Thanks Wawa!

Me and a friend will be milling around the place Saturday. I live just up the road so no camping for me.

 

[Hourless Life]

We are traveling from Oklahoma ourselves, NE oklahoma to be precise. We are leaving at Midnight on Wednesday and driving in Thursday evening.

Ooh sounds interesting. We are planing on arriving in Asheville NLT than 3PM on Thursday so we can meet up with @Wawa Skittletits and company at Papas and Beer and all get a spot to camp together. Though we might need to leave as early as Tuesday or even Monday since we will be traveling with a toddler and needing to make more frequent stops than most. Also we're in a Jeep so gas mileage sucks. So there's that. But if you have any interest in extending your journey let us know, if not we'll see you there!

Monty and I'll be rolling in from the North and completely excited. We attended West earlier in the year and blown away, looking forward to the smaller venue and hopeful chance to connect with more folks. If there was a rally point set-up ahead of the event, would absolutely aim to join fellow OB Members!

Is anyone from West Tennessee, North Mississippi, or Eastern Arkansas going?

See Wawa’s post above.... hoping we can get a big group together for the weekend!

Coming from Alabama, but we are leaving Monday and taking the Georgia Traverse up and planning on getting there early ish on Thursday afternoon.

Myself and 2 other buddies will be coming in on Friday from 60 miles north of Atlanta. Should be there around noonish. Plan on being there all weekend. We will not be camping so we rented a cabin just outside Brevard. Hope to see you all there.

Anyone down south Texas or Louisiana going to ExpoEast?

 

[fjwrangler]

This will be my first time to overland expo and I am excited. I will be traveling with a friend (who attended last year) and coming up from Florida. Would like to camp around other OB members if possible. Does anyone know if there will be an official OB area for camping, or will we just need to all arrive around the same time to grab spots together?

 

[cody_roberts]

My first trip as well will be coming from Dallas. My plus one fell through so it looks like it will be me and Chase!

We have a caravan headed down from the mid-Atlantic area and will be displaying a couple of the Overland Bound Base Camp flags.

It’s my first time as well but it seems that the easiest way to camp together is to actually enter the venue together at the same time since it will most likely be organized parking.

With that said, we are all planning a meetup right before rolling into OE. Join us!

Look in the Overland Bound by Region section for the East and you’ll see the Caravan thread with all the info.

Im really thinking about it

 

[outwardbound]

Is anyone bringing a bicycle? I have a mountain/touring bike I'm thinking about bringing. I've heard the riding their is great and there are numerous scenic dirt trails for exploring.

I'm thinking about it. There's some killer mountain biking at Reeb.

I picked up a business meeting that ends on the Thursday before the Expo - I’ll be driving up from Cape Canaveral on Thursday, should be there by early Friday AM.

So... here’s the question. I’m a quiet guy with a Khaya and plenty of extra beer. Anyone willing to stake out an spot for me in exchange for some NASA swag? I work at MSFC and will be at KSC that week, so I should be able to score some decent stuff. :)

DM me if you want more details or to place an order... ;)

But do you snore????

But do you snore????

The snoring isn’t as bad as the flatulence, but it’s really good swag.
