Well put: As the website says, only propane fires and grilles.

The Overland Expo website explains everything available to weekend pass holders, here. As you can see there's tons to do. You cannot attend the classes scheduled for Overland Experience attendees, and you cannot take your own vehicle on the Land Rover driving course - only one of the fleet Land...

Also, no Bud Light. Just kidding. Sort of. Extra credit if you show up with Fuller's 1845.

That's right. There will be lots for your wife to do - anything available to day pass holders. And we have a great kids program, the Junior Overland Explorer.

And bring a map! Asheville's street and highway layout looks like the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Okay, large caveat in advance: This is a new venue to us, with new food vendors. Taylor Ranch is making the arrangements, but we've been promised breakfast, lunch, and light dinner trucks for all three days of the show. So you'll be on your own for Thursday evening and Monday morning, and it...

The list of classes that are full with waiting lists (right now, five out of around a hundred) is on the website, here. Children are welcome (and free) and there is plenty for them to do. Again, the website will fill you in.

Well, not exactly nearby, as in breakfast before the show. It's in Boone, NC. If you drive the Blue Ridge Parkway on your way to or from the show, it's easy to access. It's called the Local Lion. Damn you for reminding me about them; I'm still two thousand miles away.

We love having kids at the Expo, which is why we don't charge for them, and provide free day care to Overland Experience attendees. There will be plenty for your children to do at the east show, I think - we'll have kid's classes, a wildlife tracking workshop, and Junior Explorer badge...

I never turn down bacon, unless it's in a dish that also contains Brussels sprouts.

Thanks for the second comment, Cosmo. No delicate sensibilities here, but I do need to state our rules in no uncertain terms based on our experiences at the west show, when, despite our warnings, red-flag notices from the U.S. Forest Service, and the threat of jail time, we consistently find a...

The rules for our "show" come from Taylor Ranch, and we respect their concern regarding the fine condition of the grassland on their property, especially during October which statistically should be a dry period. They have graciously offered to build and maintain two or three group fires for us...

Let me address a few things: The system is automated, so if you sign up for another class while on the waiting list, your alternate is the one you'll be assigned. This depends on how many people sign up for the waiting list. Email info@overlandexpo to see what the status is. I just looked...

Thank you for understanding!

Yes, they will. Additionally, Taylor Ranch is going to maintain two or three group campfires, one near the camping area and another, possibly two, near the lake.

Always happy to have FJ Cruisers at the Expo! It's difficult to arrange group areas in advance due to the inevitable attrition. If you'd like to have an organized FJ area we can do that, but one of you will have to get in touch with us as representative before September 15 so we can arrange a...

Second this. The Italian-made double-extension Land Rover jacks are excellent for vehicles with solid axles.

Hmm . . . I just went there and it's fine. Try this.

Yes, it is on the website. If you register for either a weekend pass or the Overland Experience pass you can set up camp on Thursday.

No, you don't—we include those on the schedule just to help people keep their days straight. We have a few classes that take up odd blocks of time at the east show, because the advanced driving and recovery areas are a bit of a walk from the main classroom area.
