Overland Expo West, the rally, camping, and training experience, held every year in Flagstaff, Arizona, starts in a week.
Here are some more photos of our friend Greg’s trip there last year.

Last year there was a little rain…
and snow! Hoping for better weather this year!
This is John and Mandi. They’ve been traveling the Pan American highway for more than a year. They and their van were the most colorful thing at the Expo! 🙂

The chow line for the bar-b-que.

Can you spot Greg’s rubber snake, Hubert? He always seems to make an appearance at camp to spook passers by.
Greg’s camp set-up. Tidy and minimal.
Ah!! Oh, Hubert, it’s you…
What good fun! On several occasions, it was implied that it was the most adventurous Expo to date. Rain, hail, sleet and snow gave way to muddy grounds that tested the mettle of various overland accommodations and “unstucking” skills.
Adventure dwells in the unexpected. Adventurers revel in the unexpected.
Ha, yeah, maybe NOT hoping for better weather. Worse weather = better skills. 🙂
