Overland expo east

[xterraRTB]

I will arrive on Thursday as close to noon as possible. Due to my limitations, I will be in the limited mobility area. I still want to connect with the other OB members as this is a first expo for me and first outing since May. Lost the whole summer to illness. At least we can connect at the Overland Bound tent.

We are coming from NoVA (Centreville area) on Thursday morning. It would be great to camp with the OB group. We are trying out new hammock stands because we couldn’t get forest camping.
We would also be interested in meeting other NoVA/MD/WDC folks to caravan down.

Not as of yet but we are going to have 25 spots roped off...I'll talk with the marshals parking cars and let them know who we are and what we are doing...Just let them know your with Overland Bound and that you are camping with the group in the roped off area

I will be arriving on Friday morning

OEE has communicated with me that they will rope off 25 spots for us( i'm hoping to do it myself)...I'm arriving on Tuesday evening to work as a volunteer for set up Wednesday and Thursday and will find the best spot I can for us...I will most likely be communicating the camp site on Facebook Overland Bound Midwest, Southeast, and East pages so look there for details...if you need to communicate directly with me please shot me a text at 502-724-6435...be sure to include your name and that you are with OB....I'll be at Shelby's Way offroading event starting this Friday and will have spotty communication from then until we reach Arrington so if I don't get back to you right away please understand....Thanks, and see you there!

My family and I would like to join the group campsite, but we don't want to take up too much room. We have a Jeep Wrangler pulling a trailer. When the trailer is unfolded, it takes up space. Is it possible to be included into the group site?

I'll be there Thursday afternoon. Would love to join OB group.

I plan on being there early Thursday afternoon and would like to join the group as well.

 

[Sharkbait4x4]

Quick question...do you guys want to camp close to the exhibits or further away?

I am good either way.

Heading down Thursday morning, doing the Forest Camping at Expo. Good group of us from Northern VA heading down. We should all schedule a time to get together, have a beer, and shoot the sh*t!

Absolutely ... I'm headed down from No. Va as well ..leaving Thursday

Spent the whole day there on Saturday. It was great to meet Mike at their Overland bound booth and chat about rigs, tents and tembotusks[emoji4] it was definitely worth a 15 hr drive.

Took me 7 hours to get there and 8.5 hours to get home. Should have been closer to 6 but def. worth the trip. I had a blast there this year.

It was wonderful meeting so many OB members. I'm looking forward to taking trips with you.

13 hours to Overland Expo from Michigan and 13 back for me. Plus about $50 for the privilege of traveling on the PA Turnpike with its sky-high gas prices and 55 mph speed limits. Not to mention an additional $30+ for the Ohio TP. I'm definitely gonna take the back roads next year!

It was well worth it, though. I enjoyed the opportunity to meet Michael, Corrie, Kent, and the rest of the Overland Bound booth crew (and the Epic Family Road Trip family, as well). It was encouraging to see the enthusiasm the booth visitors displayed--whether members or those who were just interested in learning about our community. Lots of new members signed up over the three days and there's gonna be a whole lot of peeps rocking Overland Bound stickers, patches, Tees, beanies, hoodies and trucker hats in the days ahead. Be sure to say "Hey" when you see them.

Yes, I totally agree with everyone that the expo was a great time! The great weather, food, and people made for great memories! Everyone at Overland Bound Booth, congrats on welcoming all to this lifestyle! Can't wait to get out on another trail!

Man what an awesome event! Thank you to everyone that stopped and said hey, the stories of how my videos help to inspire others to get out and explore are the motivation for me to make more!

This year I wanted to do something a bit different. Rather than showcasing all the gadgets and gizmos of overlanding I wanted to showcase the people that come from all around the world to attend the event. Here are some of those folks, their stories and their rigs. This is only a fraction of the cool people, stories and rigs found at the event.

Thanks for sharing, Sir William. You captured a lot of interesting rigs that I managed to miss. I happened to be walking by when you were shooting your intro takes and was also camped where you taped the Lexus, FJ40 and Tacoma segments. It was great to see you in action. Please keep those inspiring and informative videos, coming, Sir.
