    Overland Expo.2010 Dates & Venue Announced

    Great idea - Sagen Media has already been working on just this thing, for Overland Training, though I think we'd show part but not all of the programs, depending on how the presenter/s feel about it. Remember to keep checking our YouTube channel throughout the show for updates and news of some...

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Thanks! I love the 60 - and the engine, too. Same cost as a new vehicle, but cooler because it's retro. Still having some transmission issues but my nephew is going to pull it and see what's up - it's really really hard to shift into first and third (as in sometimes it takes two hands for me to...

    Thanks so much! There are three fantastic really effective efforts working on "our" jaguar population in northern Mexico to make sure we keep them around. Sky Island Alliance's Mexico program (private land owner conservation, and scientific surveys); El Aribabi Conservation Ranch (one of the...

    Like any large organization, Chuck, there are fantastic people working for them, and some putzes. I am a former Arizona Game and Fish Commission Heritage Fund Committee member and I long have lauded AGFD for its work - and I still do. We still volunteer with them. But when there's a bad apple or...

    Overland Expo.2010 Dates & Venue Announced

    Mean, isn't it? I'm actually not kidding - we are working closely with 2 county sheriffs to make sure there is a good presence there to help with traffic and the like. The nav challenge will be fun - foot, vehicle, over hill and dale, or is that cactus? It involves more brains than...

    Overland Expo.2010 Dates & Venue Announced

    Maybe. No speed involved. It's not a matter of time, but quality. There will be ways we will check speed. At least one of them will involve Santa Cruz Co. Sheriff who will be prowling about :sombrero:

    Oh, and astute readers of this forum will notice Graham is riding in a classic FJ60, rather than his Defender 110. :sombrero:

    Overland Expo.2010 Dates & Venue Announced

    Each year we plan to feature one charity. DE was the 2009 charity, and won't be repeated in 2010 ~ Lance is aware of this. We will be announcing the 2010 charity soon. That doesn't mean folks can't support DE directly - visit their website and contribute!

    Hey guys - thanks for the generosity. can you get ahold of me by email, or phone - I usually send Lance free passes for the DE attendees. Perhaps there is some other help we can all provide to DE from the Expedition Portal community? roseann at ovexpo dot com

    Sure! Except she MUST stay in the vehicle or be leashed at all times - we don't want any mutts being run over! Glad you can come. We have some great programs planned.

    Big surprise here - at least on my part! I didn't think they'd go this road. Thought they'd quiet it down and then shelve it. Very good. I am happy to hear that the wheels of justice are moving along. The big thing of course is to keep working on jaguar conservation where they are living and...

    Overland Expo.2010 Dates & Venue Announced

    Not sure why you are not getting any emails unless you changed your email address - all last year's paid Overland Experience registrations are automatically on our emails which began going out in August. If you got a Day Pass that might not automatically get you into the maillist depending on...

    Overland Expo.2010 Dates & Venue Announced

    Dogs are welcome (leashed, quiet, and cleaned-up-after) - and several kids of one of the exhibitors are going to run a doggie "day care" (walk and visit) service for dog owners, for a small fee. And Lorraine Chittock, a writer for Overland Journal who travels globally with her 2 dogs, will be...

    Overland Expo 2010 Scouting Mission

    Fantastic report, Lance - so glad you feel it's going to be a good venue. I was little worried about mobility, but did not at least most of the areas have wheelchair access. Graham at Overland Training is working on designing the overland skills 'stations' out on Forest Service land. These...

    Looking for Japanese dual sport bike

    I love Honda Trails! I rode a Trail 90 all over the Sonoran Desert and around San Carlos, Mexico, when we were teens - so much fun. You are right - they are really fun and utilitarian. I considered a 110, but decided I wanted something that could go highway speeds, though, and more or less...
