Overland Expo East 2018 Discussion Thread (Not region specific)

[itarin]

I’m coming from palm beach. Is there a FL caravan thread anywhere? I’m planning on going; had a few friends bail but still looking to go

We are headed out of Jacksonville around 7 am that Friday

 

[Janie]

Here’s one of the threads that I’ve seen with members coming from Florida @FL4TOUT772.

Hi, can you point me to the thread? I see @FL4TOUT772 profile, but can't find the thread, thank you!

There is only 23 rsvp as of today..

I was tagging him on this thread @Janie so that he could see some of the members from Florida who have posted. If they haven’t already someone should take the lead on organizing a caravan from the south.

Family and I will be there. We volunteer and so usually head in early. Don't know what my "work" hours will be yet but if we're able we'll head over to Papas and Beer to meet you all.

 

[cody_roberts]

Anyone coming from Texas?

 

[Cpol]

Iam lifted the she beast is ready

 

[Zeak]

Nice.. great set up.

 

[mmp]

I won't make it to Papas and Beer. If you all end up camping in the East campground I will be helping with the parking.

Is the Papas and Beer meet up still happening?

I’m on my phone so not as easy to access everything here, or maybe I’m just challenged [emoji16], but yes, the Papas meetup is still scheduled.

Absolutely! We’re up to 31+ rigs.

We really would like to meet up with everyone in Asheville but as we will be coming in from Augusta, Ga it would be another what 50mins past Hendersonville? Then roll out at 4pm and come back down to Hendersonville and probably get in and start setting up at 5pm? Think it would be cutting it too close to nightfall and especially since it might be raining thursday evening.

We will be on the look out for others there though. We will probably be playing a game/cooking and having some adult beverages... =)

I'm from Augusta also. I'll try to keep an eye out for the jeep in your avatar. Would be nice to meet some people local to us.

Totally understandable. Whenever I shared a link to it I would say for all points other than south. We’ll see you at Expo!

 

[Hourless Life]

Leaving the OKC area today enroute Papas and Beer. See y’all on Thursday at the Rally Point!

So stoked!

I'm kinda in the same boat...be coming from the south. Depending on what time I get there, I may just hang around somewhere on the route into Reeb Ranch for the caravan.

We'll be heading down Wednesday night. We're doing the Overland Experience so we'll be trying to get to the camp early on Thursday. It's our first time going so we're pretty excited. We'll be heading down from Indianapolis after work on Wednesday in our Commander and LR4. Anyone know if you can leave the camp ground once you're in? Like get there early, get a campsite setup, then maybe head back out to the Papas and Beers thing? Would that work? Either way, really looking forward to meeting all you guys there and checking out the cool rigs.

 

[Wawa Skittletits]

Just a reminder but here is the rally point link for those of you interested in meeting up before heading in. If you're in the east and want to caravan down the link is in my sig. Also, for anyone interested, we are trail riding/camping in George Washington and Jefferson National Forest (Virginia) wednesday. That information is also in the caravan link in my sig. Feel free to tag along or meet up with us!

Glad you're making the trip and looking forward to meeting you! I've seen people driving around all over before. The important part is getting there to 'check in' while HQ is still staffed which, as we know, is 6 on Thursday.
