Overland Expo MTN West August 22-24, 2025

[Jim Oaks]

For those that complain that we never go out west...

A few of us will be at Overland Expo Mountain West in Loveland, Colorado August 22-24 and we'll be camping on site. This will be my second Overland Expo, and my first time at the one in Colorado. There's a lot to see at the Expo plus you can find the latest greatest products for off-roading and camping.

Is anyone planning on going? Anyone live anywhere near there, or within an hour of Loveland?

We're also contemplating doing some whitewater rafting while we're in Colorado if anyone has any input on that.

Just bumping this to the forefront, since it's getting closer. If there is some interest, we could probably do an informal meet & greet one day, maybe at lunchtime. Come on out. Or even plan on camping with us at the event. I'll be there in all my "just off the trail" dust and glory.

Check is in the mail to the campground. Wife wants to come and found us a camper to rent.

We got anything to "display the colors" so it's easier for people to find us?

I plan in taking my TRS flag that we use in ORV parks. It would be easy to hang the TRS flag on the side of a tent like I did last time we were at LBL.

 

[Jim Oaks]

I'm going to take the TRS flag and try to make a Vagabond banner before I leave here.

You bring 'em.
We'll get 'em hung on something.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Ya, I've wondered how we'll do that. Maybe string a rope through them. Just need two points to hang them between.

No worries. We'll have paracord, zip-ties and tents & vehicles to hang from.

 

[sgtsandman]

I think I have either 100' or 50' of paracord in the garage I can bring along (maybe both).

 

[Curious Hound]

Maybe we could just "commandeer" a flag pole somewhere onsite.

 

[Curious Hound]

I plan on having a laminated info sheet to hang on my truck while we're camped there, plus a magnetic business card holder (Take one) with the business cards I carry that have QR codes to TRS and my YouTube channel. That should help answer questions for people who walk by in the camping area while we're not there.

I have the banner Jim sent me to use at Carlisle. I can zip tie it to my canopy.

Are you driving out there? Is Trevor coming?
