2018 NW Overland Rally Discussion and Planning - 06/28/2018

looks like a fun year, we just sold out of vendor spots...

Ray, I look forward to the Rally. I was only able to attend Friday last year (can only do Saturday this year), but I left last year’s Rally impressed with the people who attended & the tenor of the event. I went to Overland Expo West this year & it qualifies as a “one & done”. I hope NWOR never becomes that monstrosity - worth going once but that’s about it. I particularly thought that the different “experience” levels were antithetical to the egalitarianism & inclusiveness that has wonderfully seemed to sprout from this new surge in “Overlanding”. I really liked the deliberate focus on families last year with kids activities & suggesting the men get out & spot their partners through the course. NWOR was a wonderful mix of people & vehicles last year. I look forward to more of the same. Next year, I hope to be able to come up to your BC version as well.

Awesome! We are always looking for suggestions for additional classes that folks would like to see, and suggestions for improvements, so let us know if you think of any.

Yeah the BC show is still smaller, but it's a fun venue since it's at a ski resort.
 
I have question regarding the NWOR, i will be bringing my family along and I want to be there from thu-sun ( if I was alone ) but we have certain matters to attend to on Thursday. My question is, is it still possible to set up camp on friday even though I registered for the thu-sun. If not, I’ll just have to register for a Day Pass. Either way, I hope to see you all there.

The schedule shows attendee arrival from around noon to 4 on Thursday. I cannot find anything on the website that says you cannot arrive Friday for Camp, but you may want to ask question via email - NWOverlandRally@gmail.com

Yes no problem. Roughly half of attendees arrive on the Friday. We even have some who come up and camp on Saturday, but not many. We will still have camping space when you arrive.

Ray,

Thanks for the reply, at least now I know we can arrive on Friday and still be able to set up camp. Hope to see you all there. Again thanks.
