We are thinking about going back again this year, didn't know if anyone else would be game to join. We camp at SMORR, a huge offroad park about an hour away.

Last year's trip report:

MOORE Expo

IDK. Could be a possibility. I would rather go to Overland Expo West, but I realize that's to far for most of you. I've debated going this year but I'm trying to save some money and get some work done on my building. Overland Expo West: 30,000+ attendees. 417 registered exhibitors 136...

Neither Moore nor SMORR will disappoint. Its a good time and "85 & Crew" are fun to hang out with.

My vacation time is pretty much all spoken for until the end of 2025. I even had to make some adjustments because of a couple unit exercises and inspections that are planned.

If that's anywhere near as good as their "shortcut" from SMORR last year, it will be awesome

It should be more, it is about 3hrs from kc to Springfield on the interstate. The route thing last year was like 3-4hrs at trail speed.

If it takes a 1st Gen ranger to get there, the crowds will be very small.

But the company will make up for it.

So how long did it take you? 5-6 hrs?

If I wanted to get there fast the highway was 45min.
