Thanks for putting a FB page together. My wife, kiddo (4) and I are heading down to the expo too. We are camping for two nights and hope to do a little trailer shopping for a 2020 purchase. We are pretty geek about getting down there and meeting some Vegas peeps. This is the rig we go play in. IMG_2302.JPG

Awesome! Anything planned yet? If so, please share it with the group if you'd like a few people to tag along with you. I'll be posting possible trails along the route to Flagstaff.

soooo anyone wanna do Blue Diamond to Goodsprings this weekend? Pretty easy trail, 3 to 4 out of 10.
How long is the trip (generally speaking) and when were you thinking of going?

I don't have equipment for airing down/up yet (working on it), is that going to be necessary for the drive you have in mind?

Very easy trail. About 1.5 hours on the trail, then you're in Goodsprings with pavement back to Vegas. Really more of a scenic drive, I think a Subaru could do it. I have a crew cab long bed RAM with no lift and I've done it before without any problems. I also have a quick tire deflator and an pretty quick air compressor to help with airing down. But even airing down isn't a requirement for this trail.

What time were you thinking of going? I've got some free time Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

Is there a way we can have a common campsite flag, marker or something that identifies us as the Las Vegas crew? Any ideas?
In a sea of potential flags at the Expo, my suggestion would be to have the NEVADA State flag.....AND if possible to locate, a 3x5 "welcome to Las Vegas" banner flag(per the sign on Las Vegas Blvd). One of the tourist shops would probably have them. That would defiantly tie in the group, if camping/staging in one area:astonished:

I submitted to join this page but still haven’t been accepted [emoji53]
Hey, I'm really sorry, the group either doesn't exist or isn't under my control anymore. I ended up deciding to delete Facebook, kinda stupid timing on my part since I had created that event group. Only a few people had joined and no conversations about logistics had started so I didn't give it much thought.

Did someone else from here take over or are we out of luck (aka, have to create a new page/event)?

No plans yet, but I've been itching to go on another day trip/trail ride if you have one planned.

As for the Overland Expo FB group, it was over 2 months out so I can understand why there wasn't much activity. But if nobody here is taking it over we should look at another option (new page, rally point, etc). This will be my first trip there, so I'm deferring to the experienced crowd. :smirk:
