Man I wish I could go this year but I have too many weekend trips coming up. March is Mojave road with other ob members, may is an e clampus vitus clampout, June in monache meadows with ob members. I'm sure I'll have something pretty much every month going forward. Its a rough life but someone has to do it.

I'll be working the event.
Leaving Friday, May 5th after work. Swinging by the house to pick up the Adventure Pup (Terry), then trying to get a head start and put a few miles on. Goal is to reach western Pennsylvania and find a place to crash Friday night. Hope to arrive in or near Flagstaff, Arizona by Tuesday, May 9th. Not sure my work days at Expo yet, but I'd love to see some stuff around there before I come home. Never seen the Grand Canyon, that would be awesome.
Then I'll be leaving Sunday morning to begin the track to Pennsylvania.

Glad to see the excitement building for another OE! Everyone will have to report back asap for those of us who can't make it. My plans were to attend OE, but then that was switched to a week of training/certification in Moab the following week. Then I broke my leg and none of that is happening. Even if I am physically ok to go, I doubt my work is ready to give me a week off after being out for over 6 weeks now :(

If you can get a chance to breakaway and see the GCNP I would highly suggest it. I'm a big fan, and try to make it up there every couple of weeks. (only a 2.5hr trip for us)

I hope to see it. I mean, I'm driving 2,200 miles... what's another couple hours?
I have an Aunt and Uncle who live in Apache Junction, Arizona. Would be nice to see them too since I'll be out there. Maybe they can get a day pass for Expo.
Just moved out to Scottsdale last Aug. One of the first things I did was check the dates for OEW 17, I've been like a kid counting down to Christmas.
Pretty excited to be able to just run up there in 2 hours.
If anyone wants ideas of stuff to see or do around Flag, let me know, I try to get up there and Sedona as often as I can.

Hello overland bound,
I'm new to overland world and I am looking forward to attend the overland expo but I don't know where to start. Where are the areas to park and camp? How do I register? Any advice is appreciated.

New member here, My best friend Todd C. signed us up last month. His TLC will be on display with some very cool items on it that came all the way from South Africa.
It is getting hard to find camping spots so reserve them soon. All of the hotels are booking up fast because NAU is having graduation ceremony that weekend.
