Overland Expo West 2018 May 18th-20th, 2018 Flagstaff, AZ
« on: March 01, 2018, 05:46:47 PM »

Howdy everyone,
Not sure if we have spoken about Overland Expo West 2018. I know the peeps over at AZXC have a group together on attending.
Just getting to word out for us to see if we join them. My wife is looking forward to it so there is a really good chance of me & the fam will attend.

If there is an interest, I can turn this thread into the official thread of the Expo West.

Info over at AZXC:

I'm leaving OC early Thursday morning.  I'll be convoying with Leitner Designs and helping them set up their booth.
Not sure where I'll be camped.

I have never attended before, anyone know how the camping is as far as being able to camp together in groups.  Do you just drive around until you find the spot or people you are looking for?  Is anyone interested in creating a SCCX or Xterra based camp group or is there usually already one there?  Dave and I expect to be there around 6pm Thur. if someone would send up a flare at that time, we should be able to find you.

Make sure you have somebodies contact info because the camping situation is a zoo.  We went last year and got there about 3:00 and the site was packed.  We were lucky enough to find a clear spot along the west fence next to a road.  When we got to the entrance they had us turn right along the horse track then right again and head towards the exit.  They told us to stay on the dirt path and park anywhere we could find grass.  Dirt is for access.  The spot we ended up in was actually straight in line with the horse track road so it was easy access to the exhibit, but it was about 1/2 a mile to the exhibits. Don't expect to find a spot near a outhouse, be sure to bring your own.

So you didn't really notice a Nissan/Xterra type area?  I take it there is a scramble just for a decent site let alone group gatherings.  Is there anyway of saving a spot, I don't think we are getting there until 6 pm?  What time are you expecting to be there this year?

Last your is was just Morgan and me in the general camping area.  Steve and Jordan got special privileges for volunteering and hung out with the cool kids in the vendor area, we weren't invited. In fact, I didn't see Steve the whole weekend, ran into Jordan a couple of times.  We meet up with the Rogue Overland and AZXC guys but they camped off site.  I'm not going this year, two trip to northern AZ in one year is more than enough.
