Checking the dates for this, there are two start dates. First mention is May 16th, second mention shows May 15th. Which day is it?

 

[RevelOffroad]

Is this a get in and drive down in one shot interstate road train, or are you doing some Offroad Overlanding and one night of camping?

Mostly, Yes. There will be some light "off-road" near Bullhead, AZ and there will be some off-grid camping the day before the expo opens, but we will consider the group makup.

Take a look at the itinerary I posted above with specific details.

 

[Daniel Shupp]

Definitely in! We will be breaking away either Weds or Thurs to squeeze in some Grand Canyon time. Any recommendations on pulling this off?

 

[Dana]

I am going to try and link up in Barstow, maybe. I don’t drive that fast in my rig though. Usually around 60mph. So you guys might be moving to fast for me.

 

[FJ_Anna]

We plan to join at Tehachapi

The Sierra Foothills OB meet-up is camping in Las Vegas Wednesday May 16th. We are going to be leaving Thursday morning between 0700-0730 hrs so we can be at the camp ground @ Overland Expo when it opens. You are welcome to join us for the trip to Flagstaff

I really want to hit up Broken Arrow in Sedona and some Moab trails after Overland Expo. Anyone interested in making this happen?
