In reply to Dominic Moschetti. @19854runner It was really great to meet you! One of our favorite parts was meeting you, and other fellow overlanders, and the journey back was AWESOME! Looking forward to more adventures!

Adventure travel at its best. Leaving southern California in the rain and driving for 7.5 hours through it was experience all in itself. Driving for me has always been a great way to decompress from my business and the day to day routine. It’s always great to see other overlanders traveling in the same direction for the same mission. There nothing like feeling your apart of something unique and different, where few people dare to explore. I enjoyed every moment being at the Overland Expo…the snow, rain, sleet, sunshine and lots of mud and mean a lots of mud just added to the experience. Overland Expo was great…yet being on the road and meeting new friends even better. Michael, Corrie and Steve it was cool meeting you all.

Likewise, Michael. So far the trailer has been great… I have lots more I want to do with it… I’m already sketching plans for a safari rack for both the landcruiser and the trailer… must. get. a tubing bender…

In reply to Skip. @freerifleman It was really great to meet you and love what you are doing with your custom adventure-trailer build. You have built that thing to be bulletproof! Look us up any time. Look forward to hearing more about your build and adventures!

It was awesome meeting both Michael and Corrie! I’m stoked about the new emblem! Thanks!
I was right next to them when they were out on the lakebed, and they nor Richard weren’t kidding about the total mudfest… it was insane Saturday morning; We watched as half the people leaving were getting stuck!

Thanks for sharing the pictures and the stories. You guys did a great job under the circumstances and congratulations on the lesson learned for future events. At the same time I was safely “camped” at a fancy hotel in San Antonio Tx attending a cool speakers Conference – No mud, here but lots of rain!

In reply to Robert OB 0012. Hahahaha! I know, I know. But trust me... The good folks at the Expo didn't need a neon sign to remind them to drink their Bud Light. :D

The mud was overwhelming! The further you were out into the lake bed the worse it was; and I was way out. You couldn’t walk anywhere without five pounds of the stickiest, gooiest mud I’ve ever experienced stuck to both boots. I took one look at the weather report for the rest of the weekend and bailed Friday night. Folks were clearing out all around me. I had mixed emotions about leaving but I just wasn’t prepared to remain somewhat clean and comfortable in that environment. I’ll try again next year and try and stay off of the lake bed…..
