Overland Expo (West — near Flagstaff) — 4 Comments

  1. Another interesting post. I’ve never been compelled to go to Overland West. It looks like a convention of over the top gadgeteers and off road nerds. And what’s up with a 40,000# off road vehicle? Where the hell do you take that thing without a platoon of support personnel? Or maybe that’s the point. A fool and his money.

    The wife and I have gone from the tip of Baja California to Inuvik, NWT over the last 35 years using a 4×4 pickup (Toyota to GMC) and tent. We ascribe to the minimalist footprint model. Although we did enjoy it whem a nice couple invited us inside their motorhome in the Yukon after the season’s first snowfall a few years back. They had baked a cake (what’s an oven?) and wanted to share. Yum.

    I do like your model of a capable motorhome and auxillury 4×4 to explore. Makes absoulute sense.

    • Yeah, we tented for a LOT of years — 4×4 and private aircraft (bush strips in Idaho, Utah, Montana). I guess we just got spoiled once we tried the motorhome. Had a dirt/street bike for three years, but way too uncomfortable and risky for much ground transportation. Ralph seems to work well for us.
