Definitely thinking that way too. Also, been meaning to ask, how does the group camp thing work. Are we able to say we're using the Overland Bound area, or does everybody have to arrive together?

16 days until the Expo opens up, 12 days until I start my road trip there! This will be my first Expo, definitely looking forward to it!
I'll one up you. :D Our first expo, and our first time doing anything close to primitive site camping. We're literally just starting out after about a 6 year hiatus from anything resembling camping, and then it was full on glamping at campgrounds with electricity and water, and showers. We're doing a shakedown camp this weekend just to be sure all the gear is good to go and we have the stuff to go without the electric and water.

I'll be camping in either my Gazelle T3 or my Overland Vehicle Systems RTT for 7 nights straight, my longest camping trip by far. I think the longest before this was 3 nights over a long weekend. It will be a good test of all my preparations to camp over a longer period.

Here is a map I made up showing Infinity Downs and the set up from 2019...I'm hoping to get the same camping as we had then...This is unofficially the unofficial map so don't hold it up to a volunteers face and swear its where you need to be...my number is 502-724-6435 so when you arrive text me your name and location if you can't find us and I can come a scoop you up if needed...

First time at an Expo - we got the Experience package so there is that option as well. How much room is available to make camp? Is there room to push out the awning and set up a T4 Plus? Or will it be vehicle width and a standard T4?

Thanks @Ohio Valley Overland, I should be there early afternoon Thursday and will be glad to help where I can. I've sent your number to my cell so I'll have it when I arrive and will be printing out the map for reference.
