OFFICIAL IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR OVERLAND EXPO EAST. We've had quite a bit of rain and we have had to close the upper camp due to the slick roads and mud. People who have not arrived yet and have camping passes we have alternate camps or you can find your own (if the latter we'll refund...

Evolve or go extinct. Bwahahahahah. So excited guys! The excitement level is huge. We're packing up and heading to the event site soon. Trailers are groaning, Jonathan is off grinding something in the workshop [note: check to make sure he's not grinding any leopard spots off my Land Cruiser]...

We THINK there will be plenty but the interest is HUGE this year. Please get there early folks or be prepared to camp in the national forest nearby (tons of space there, no worries!).

Forgot the link to the event map: http://overlandexpo.squarespace.com/storage/downloads/OX12MAP.pdf

Several ways to get the app: Open the map here and scan the QR code with your smartphone and it will take you to the right place. We are working on a challenge with the .mobi link right now but you can use this address until we get the shortcut working: http://h.theapp.mobi/ovexpo iPhones...

Thanks TangoBlue, see you soon at the show! And we expect more great stuff than ever, with 20% more exhibitors and a whole lot of new ones. This industry is growing, it's very exciting.

Hi Shogun. I am the owner and administrator of the show. What you say is actually as far from reality as possible. We actively encourage all the exhibitors and vendors (we're up to 134 total right now) to sell things. And this year more are adding show specials. For example, Oz Tent and Family...

Awesome, Jeff - we'll let you know when the next trip will be. March 2012 (we decided the snow / ice problem in the canyon would make the hiking too difficult, as much of the way to the remote cameras is very steep or down the rock / waterfalls. Have a great holiday everyone, thanks for reading!

Thanks Joaquin and taco2go - it is a great trip. We will be doing more, stay tuned!

You can only say that now that you got rid of this ghastly wheels.

Was great to get out with GoodTimes & BajaTaco again -- been too long, and much-missed! Chris is taking a well-deserved long hiatus and getting some miles under his wheels.

Bacanora was in short supply in Sonora after our trip. Just kidding. We had a blast, hope you can join us some time. Am enjoying your AZ Traverse report, Jeff. Brian - it was perfect with you guys there, as usual. Plus someone had to take home all the fleas.

Nice, Jeff, what fun! Maybe some day will try that on my R80 G/S :-)

Nice to hear from you, Corey, thanks! We'll have to catch up soon, especially about Overland Expo. I'll send you an email!

Trip Report: Cows, Chocolate, & Cats in the Sierra Madre Photos by Roseann & Jonathan Hanson, except where noted Expedition members: Brian DeArmon (GoodTimes), Marisa Rice, Chris Marzonie (the legendary BajaTaco), Brian Jones, Roseann Hanson (DesertRose), and Jonathan Hanson Cow . . ...

Hi Discotdi ~ We didn't all stop using Sandstorm, I still have mine. Sandstorm is a good company, yes, and they use East-Africa-sourced canvas, leather, and skilled labor, mostly from Luo craftsmen (who traditionally are great netmakers, for fishing), it's a great combination. The only way you...

You have the disease AAXD! Nice addition to the fleet. That looks like a really nice one. Keep it stock, there are so few stock ones left! I just picked up a vintage Motorrad tank bag for my R80 G/S on Craigslist - thanks to mtndog!! It was a steal; it's brand new, the raincover still in...

So right Juan ~ and good for you! Best of luck, perhaps if you take a break in Nairobi we might run into you in September or October. Yes, Jonathan is now working full time with Overland Expo and ConserVentures; we spend about half the year on the event and the rest of the year working on...

Have you guys seen this BMW Unplugged promo, with Tiffany Coates and Thelma, her R80 G/S? http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Content/Uniquely/Unscripted/tiffanycoates.aspx Thelma is parked at our house right now, while Tiffany is in Nepal. Thelma has so many "war injuries" you can't even imagine...

Really nice one! Looks in great shape. It's R80 fever time, be warned, they are addictive. Can't believe how much I love mine; I miss it right now :-( That tank bag is exactly what I've been looking for, thanks! I've missed 3 on eBay, they go for 2x what the person is asking, I've sent an email.
