A few ski bums and Baja Taco got me into this whole overland thing! Would like to meet Chris some day! By the way ski bums have been overlanding for years!

The video, above, was pretty cool! I saw my jeep in the background of the LR course. When they covered the spotting I was standing right next to them. I had no idea that is what they were doing, saw them filming of course, but I figured it was just for personal fun. I heard they even stopped by the Muskoka tent for one of the free beers, but I guess did not film Jay... ah well, missed a shot at fifteen seconds of fame... 
I dono, I found it to be wanting, when it came to the interior. Just not enough there for me, I need a touch more substance than this one had...:victory:
Sure was a blast being there, and I enjoyed meeting people too.
I felt like I needed a second badge that said "Ford Prefect" on there, so I could stop telling people who I was on here... haha.
GXV has an interesting new camper. I like it.

Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of this awning/canopy/shade on the back of the Jeep? Thanks
Someone already said this is made by Nemo, but I thought I would mention that Busdepot makes one very similar to this one. I picked one up, good price, and I really liked it. (bought it as a gift, hence the "liked")
You can find it here for $119.oo

Yep, that's me!
So, it turns out I did I really lousy job of taking pictures this trip. Too busy ogling rigs and gear and taking classes. Here's my photoset, without organization or comment:

Note that there seem to be an inordinate number of photos of "details" of certain things. Usually I do this when I'm planning on blatantly copying an idea or otherwise am curious about how something was built.
I DID manage to stop drooling long enough on Sunday afternoon to get my kite rig up into the air and get a few decent shots of the vendor area before the wind got CRAZY. Here's one I'm proud of:

LOL, Note the rain fly on the RTT in the lower left corner is "ballooning" in the wind... the wind and attendant dust was really obnoxious this year!
