I had a great time this year and the location was a huge improvment from Amado. I liked that it was family friendly with a small playground and petting zoo that my daughter enjoyed.

Has anyone seen if Moby 1 Trailer is exhibiting there?

They were not there from what I saw, but it was a big show.

I was there! Yay! It was a lot of cool stuff to see and do and lots of people. I too liked the location! Someone mentioned the family friendly environment and the play area. That was great for my son! Funny (?) thing that happened...a young girl found a garter snake, and my son is extremely into snakes, crocs, etc. Well, he was holding it, after I told him countless times to put it down and leave it alone, it bit him on the hand! I'm really hoping that will teach him that wild animals are not to play with. He's only 4 so it remains to be seen if his lesson was learned.

Great job to all who were involved in making the expo happen! I can only imagine how much work it must have been! Thanks!

We had a great time this weekend! The Rendezvous Conspiracy was there in force, I lost track of how many Rendezvous shirts I saw on saturday

Overland Gourmet BLEW IT UP with food and parties each night (Rendezvous camp on thursday, Bundu Gear and Snow Peak on Friday) culminating in the GIANT "End of the World" party Saturday night with Equipt and the Maya Rally - we cooked and served food for what must have been hundreds of people.

Zach and Clint of OVG were backed up by Mark, Justin, Robert, Mike, Mitch and Apryl - HUGE THANKS to the Conspiracy for coming out in force and helping Overland Gourmet feed so many hungry Overlanders!

Paul and Ben from Equipt kept their famous Tiki Bar rolling through the night with Cuba Libres and copious amounts of refreshments for all. The combined efforts of Overland Gourmet/Equipt/Maya Rally delivered what had to be the biggest overland party ever. Kudos to all who worked and to all who came and made it such a blast!

There had to have been at least 2-3 times more vehicles/people/vendors/gear/training/food/everything this year and the venue was PERFECT! Huge thanks to the Hansons and crew for all the hard work, you guys rock and your event is top notch.

We'll be back!

x100! WAY better than Amado in so many ways - people, vendors, and especially venue. Congrats on a great event.

That's just how we roll here in Northern Arizona...

Had an awesome time! Spent a lot of gas money getting there and got a ticket at 1 in the morning on my way home, but it was definitely worth it!







And thanks Aaron for letting me cruise this beauty around!



Came alone, but left with many new friends. See you all next time

Yep - Karl, from gwagenaccessories.com - that's his G-wagen. He makes great products. I've got his spring spacers, spare tire storage box and rear ladder on my G-wagen (pictured earlier in this thread)....

I'm glad everyone enjoyed the event.

We just finished getting the site cleaned up, and I'll relay that the staff and residents of Mormon Lake all commented that the site looked wonderful, and not ruined with trash and debris like every other event there.

Thank you all for coming out, for participating, and I hope to see you all next year!

Can someone see if Sportsmobile has a Mitsubishi Fuso SMB on display and if so pictures would be most appreciated. Thanks!!

Thank you all for coming out, for participating, and I hope to see you all next year!

Good seeing you too
