OVERLAND EXPO IS COMING TO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST!

[jcgraves3]

As some of you know this Overland Expo is coming to our neck of the woods in July. I plan to go this year (my first time) and wanted to know if others plan to go?

JULY 8-10, 2022
DESCHUTES COUNTY EXPO CENTER // BEND (REDMOND), OREGON
FRI 9-5 | SAT 8-5 | SUN 8-3

You bet, we have already scheduled the time off, will head down early in the week and get some time exploring around the area before the expo.

 

[Speric]

Sounds like a real possibility.

 

[MeliMK]

We'll be there! Looking forward to it.

John, we should make sure we hook up. The wife and I are planning on being there this year. I know @David H is planning on going as well.

Right you are @reaver - Chava are really looking forward to this adventure. I've driven through the Bend area several times, but have not been adventuring there. I'm looking forward to meeting the peeps and seeing the sights...

 

[genocache]

Bend is closer to where I live, 9 hours vs 12 to Flagstaff. I'll think about it.

 

[Matthew Bruns]

Yep, me and the girl will be there as well. Had to cancel and refund our tickets for the 2021 in Loveland, CO.

 

[M Rose]

I’m trying to make it as well.

 

[K12]

Really thinking about going, should be far enough out to get that Thursday and Friday off work.

Jerry, looking forward to seeing you guys there, hoping we get out on the trail together sooner than that though!

 

[LunarOne]

Dave, Looking forward to this. Any plans for hitting the trails soon?

 

[Speric]

Other options to camp besides at the expo? I'm only going to able to make it for 1 full day and don't want to pay for a whole weekend camping at it. Plus I have a friend in Bend who might be able to stay with but haven't confirmed yet, or maybe camp outside of Bend in the woods like the overland gods and goddesses intended.

 

[Peregrine]

On the list. Coming over from Boise.

 

[MegaBug]

Hmmm.... we also got Covid'd (a new word Mr Webster!) for Loveland in 2020. We are doing a LOT of travel catch up this year but have a gap in July. From BC, Bend OR would be VERY doable. Hopefully we can pull this together :-)

 

[K12]

Just an FYI for everyone, trailer overall length cannot exceed 17' if you are going to be camping on the expo grounds. Going to possibly change my plans, I'll have to find another place to park the HQ19 if I end up going.

 

[The.Rocklander.Project]

Got my ticket, I’ll be there!

 

[K12]

Just got my ticket for the weekend. Going to be staying at the RV park next door due to trailer limits in the expo center. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

I just got my Vehicle ticket for this. I'm really excited to go and see what the Expo is all about. I think I'm more jazzed at the prospect of meeting people that like off roading/camping. It's not as much fun to do by yourself...

What do those of you going think about the idea of meeting up a time or two before the event? Just to do introductions, talk vehicles, favorite kind of trips, what you're looking for out of the Expo, etc. I'd be willing to drive to as central a location as possible to include more people. Or maybe do multiple meet-ups to accommodate schedules?
