I bought a few things from various vendors.
Favorite item is the little bag that overland-gear.com was selling. Someone else was looking at it when I was buying, and they called it a man purse!! Another person was going to use it as their "overnight bag" (aka: shaving and toiletries kit).

I also bought one of the T-shirts they were selling.

Quick roadside snap on the way home from Expo. Just outside Yuma. Should have stayed in the Expo area as I heard the images were much better from that area.

I kinda wish my 9 year old pit mix (who was trying to wrestle with Colossus in the beer line) was that mellow.
It was good to meet you.

The one I've seen the most when communicating with others is OvEx, with a year tag, e.g. OvEx12.

Thank you very much for making all of those pictures available. Fine photography and a great overview for those of us who didn't make it.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for a great time! This was my first expo and I loved it. I flew out from S. Florida, with two suitcases. One had clothes the other had a small tent, camp stove, air mattress, and first aid kit. It was quite different than loading up my 4Runner, but I learned to get by on ALOT less.
I met lots of great people from all over the globe and put faces to names of people I'd only known online. Looking at all the expo gear, I now have an even longer to do list
Even though the nights were cold, I'll never forget seeing billions of stars and the Milky Way stretched across the night sky. It was better than looking through a telescope.
Next year I'm bringing my 4Runner so I can explore the area more. Here are some pix and videos (I took the overland video class so I put it to use right away)
Thanks again!!

Quick question - for those of you who had the full experience package, did you get the Expo sticker that was supposed to be in the goodies bag? I am not sure if Roseann got them in time.
thank you!

http://we-r-rovers.smugmug.com/Other/YoungRoversRTW/23120781_2H7hjrJust wanted to give a big shout out to all of you guys who made this weekend an unforgettable event, I got to hang with the big boys in the Camel Trophy section (a super nice bunch of guys) and I got to exercise my camel 110 in some really cool events like driving onto the bridge and of course my mini camel got to have a crossing as well..:smiley_drive:..its almost like she knew exactly what to do as if by memory...Currently sitting on the shores of Lake Powell Utah waiting for the big winds to die down...kinda like the first couple of Days of the Expo here.. Sandra and i would also like to thank all of you guys for making our wedding truly memorable and i am looking forward to seeing lots of pics...
.. If you got some cool pics of my camel or our wedding please don't hesitate to share them on my smugmug page at

Nice to meet you! Great seeing your wedding! It was also awesome to see you drive over that bridge, in the truck you are taking on your honeymoon (that happens to be priceless), on the day of your wedding. Now that's some high stakes stuff!
