Hello all :)

 

Myself, Linda N and Smlobx are going to Overland Expo East. We are planning on meeting there on Thursday (Allowed with Full Experience package) and camp together.

 

Wondering if anyone else is going and if they want to join us!

 

Will likely be spending a LOT O'moola on a camper and yes Alaskan is in the lead......

 

Probably buy O'ton of other stuff too.

 

Hope to hear from some other suckers :)

 

Happy labor day! Now I gotta work to pay for all this...lol ;)

 

HJ

Sadly, we have to pass this year.  New pricing structure makes it prohibitively expensive for us now that we both are retired.

Yes it is pricey but I figured it was worth it for my 1st time :) Glad to have some friends to share it with! Of course camper shopping is the main reason this time :)

Was thinking about going till I seen the price. Just don't have the funds right now. Will be up in NC in a couple weeks though camping in our Alaskan. Good choice though if you go with one.

Thanks for posting HJ.
Yes we're going since we're still working (!!).
It is expensive and getting more so each year it seems but somebody's gotta pay for Jonathan's LC!

There are some cheaper options if you don't need to camp and just want to tool around :)

We've been to 3 OX-West and 2 OX-East.  Definitely worth the effort and new price if you've never been.

 

OX-East is about 1/2 - 2/3 the size of West.  But still a worthwhile event to attend.

 

I would recommend the Overland Experience package at least once.  We bought the OE package at our first West event years ago and got our monies worth;  attended many classes. 

 

One of the best classes we attended was presented by a retired State Department career diplomat.  His subject was crossing borders and visiting other countries;  what to expect and not so much.  Having travel internationally my entire adult work life and still traveling across borders in retirement, I found the presentation very informative.

I'm going up Thursday 11/8/18 and staying at Davidson River campground for the night. The shuttle service from the brewery is only about 4 miles from the campground. I just got a day pass for Friday to have a lookabout. It's about 3 hours from the house for me - hope to see you up there.  Bob

Is anyone beside me wondering when the class schedule will be posted??

We're only about a month out and it will take me two weeks to just go through all the options!
