Is your Brute blue? I may have seen it at the meet and greet at In and Out in February. I used to live about a block from their shop back home.
In other news, yes, I am planning on heading up at least one day, two and camp if i can manage it. Just have to see about funds/time/that life thing that happens.

Yo Yetters!
Are you doing a solo camp or do you have a tribe?

So, it looks like I'll be driving on Hwy 60 the southern route from near Alb in the 72 Land Rover, taking it slow and camping near Eager, AZ on Thursday night. I'm a tad nervous though as this wonderful vehicle has been somewhat irresponsible in the past. If we break down - can I get in touch with any of you mechanically minded folks? Do you know anyone within that area who could help or who you recommend?
To be honest all the previous issues have been addressed but I haven't done a long trip since then so i'm worried but doing it any way!

If you need any help, let me know. Old LRs are simple enough, and any help to a fellow over lander. I'm going to try to go up Friday/Saturday from Mesa, but I'll caravan with anyone if they want.

Thanks, more than anything it's knowing there are people out there on my side! I'll pm my number. I'll be in the Eager, AZ area on Thursday and heading up to Dairy Springs Campsite from there if you want to caravan? It's off your route though I guess! Well, you'll see us up there I hope.

Sleam our plans have changed and we might be able to meet up with you in Socorro. Give me a time and I will let you know. I know enough about Rovers to be dangerous LOL and I will have all the tools necessary to fix on the road.

What about Thursday lunch time? The dogs will need to stretch their legs if nothing else! And thanks by the way, that's a great offer!

Hi Sarah,
I think noon is a good time, I have to discuss with my better half and see what she wants to do.
We originally where leaving Monday and spend a few days near Sedona as Renata my wife loves to visit the vortex's but we decided to cancel the whole thing and then of course I see your post and get the fever to go to the Expo again.
Where you planning on a weekend pass for camping and return Sunday or Monday?
If you think you might have issues I would recommend installing a tow bar as that can get you out of trouble very easily.
I might be flat towing my Jeep with the truck and camper but since this is just a weekend event we might just drive the Jeep with the RT.
If you can get the mounts installed on your bumper I have a universal tow bar that I carry and we can use it if you have troubles.

Sarah,
We have a raft of people on the Expo staff who live and breathe old Land Rovers, including all the ex-Camel Trophy team members. Probably enough to just pick up your Series and carry it . . .
Email or PM me and we'll make sure you have contact information.
