Just ordered my Overland Bound Basecamp Flag, going to make sure it's up good and high at Expo East this year so hopefully I'll get to meet more members. Also brining my Mountain Bike so I have some transportation besides my truck, plan to use the RTT this year so not planning to move the truck once I arrive and get setup.

I'm currently contemplating getting tickets for the East event, but now that I see that there are plans for an OB contingent, I might pull the trigger. Are you guys going for the "grassy field" or "forest" camping? I was going to get a forest spot, but if everyone is in the field, I'll go for that; saves a few dollars and gets me closer to other members.

Don't get the forest camping...It's FAR AWAY from EVERYTHING!

Thanks! Grassy field it is! ...and saves me $50 to spend on other stuff!
Oh... And you will find many ways to spend that hard earned $50!

Just purchased my tickets! Can't wait to meet everyone!
@Viking1204...Did you find a place to crash on the way up? If not and if you're coming up I-95, we have plenty of space for you to park and set up your RTT. We're in Sumter, SC about 7-8 miles off of I-95, so you wouldn't have to go too far off of the interstate.

Hi,
My wife and I want to go this year. We are new to this whole experience and we want to learn together. Exactly how does it work? I see they sell tickets with you overlanding there, but when I go to click on the link, it doesn't open up. Any useful information would be awesome. We would like to sleep in our ground tent.
In short, you camp on site in a big field (ground tent is fine). Basically there's an expo ticket, which is just to the vendors and shows and such, or the Overland Experience ticket, which has education options. With the education part, there are two levels, one which is the classes only, and for like $75 more you can do the driving classes (there are several). Assuming that part, your wife would either get a passenger ticket (without the extra $75, or if you wanted her to drive too...).
Edit. I said that last part backwards. The Overland experience ticket includes the driving, then you can buy a passenger ticket which is usually a little cheaper.

Don’t buy the forest camping…it’s way out from all the festivities

Mayhem is right! The last time I was at Mid-Ohio was the early 2000's for an AMA Super Bike race. Several RV's ending up catching fire and burning to the frames in the campground...
Explorer I
What year was that?…I’ve been going since 2009 and never seen an RV burn to the ground…

Probably around 2003. Could be a year either way. I might have some old pics. Before digital was big. I'll see if I can find them and scan them.
