Very nice!! I'm already scheduled vacation September 17th-25th.
Have we narrowed down a location yet? Really looking forward to this event!

Jumping in here!
Location:
It's looking highly likely we'll be back at Camp Edison, and we'll expand into 2-3 group sites. There are two group sites back to back with each other, and the layout of the group site from last year is pretty much ideal for check-in, meals, big ole' fire, etc. @Michael l and I will be venturing back to Camp Edison soon to assess the best options.
Class:
The class would either be Thursday or Friday and would consist of an entire day of education and training in safety/first aid, recovery and communication on the trail. We're working on locking in world class teacher/trainers.
Logistics:
Something we will be doing this year is defining and assigning camping spots based on the rig (RTT, Tent, Back of the Rig). We'll have pre-numbered slots that we will assign as people register to alleviate some of the cramming and confusion setting up last year.
We're also playing around with rolling start times for different groups on the run up Baldy. Example: 8AM team, 9AM team, 10AM team. If we do this, we will need trail leaders for each wave, so there will be lots of opportunities for experience Overlanders to jump in and lead the way.
More soon! We're just beginning the planning phases for the event... and holy sh*t. I can't wait!!
AND...
Central, Mountain and East Coast Overland Bound Members.... Just you wait. We WILL be heading your way. It's on our map, so to speak.

We'll announce costs and final details soon-ish. We went live in July last year, but will probably be June this time around.
