Overland Expo West 2018 (Flagstaff, AZ) May

What's everyone's camping plans?

I'm not paying for the entire weekend all exclusive package but I'm not opposed to paying for just the camping. Be cool tell get a giant Tacoma camp going!

 

Agree on the Taco group camping!!

 

im in for this type too I'm not down to pay to stay in the expo.

 

It's more expensive for sure!I'd be interested in the off-site camping.

 

We camp off site and go on some local trail runs when we get bored.

 

most all the roads that arnt main FS roads are closed for winter

 

lol i figured as much
but I'm more than down!

 

I'd really like to try and make it this year. With how popular the overland stuff has been lately, I think it would be a lot of fun to check out products and get ideas from other peoples rigs.

 

Earlier I talked about a camp out I know the area around Mormon lake well, my brother is coming from Iowa to come to this we are going to make it a 5-6 day trip goto the expo for 1 day camp the rest. As for camp spot Thursday Friday sat for me will be right near Mormon lake goto the expo all day Friday then Saturday head to a new spot south of Munds park to a remote camp spot me an my bro found on my hunt last November we wanted to camp an explore more for the last of the days. So far that's my plan anyone is welcome to Tagg along, if not I will be in the TW camp Thursday Friday (once we find a location)

Other note: fuck camping at the "expo" it's like a city 5' to the right left is someone right next to you, if you don't have a rtt or sleeping besides a tent it will suck cause the ground is pot holy not level at all, an overpriced to camp no less to camp. when there is nothing but woods for miles an miles around Mormon lake. For me making the trek out there to be so close a feel crowded to camp isn't worth it to me, for some maybe it is. But I perfer not to camp like its a mall parking lot on Black Friday

 

What about "Snowbowl" area to camp!?We could also hit up some local trails for fun(Lockett Meadow,Shultz Pass,Elden Mountain)!

 

There's PLENTY of places very close that are large enough to house a big group camping spot. 2 issues to deal with though.

1-the obvious massive amounts of people all looking for the same camping spot

2-the travel management rules for the Coconino Naional Forest require camping to be done in designated areas. This eliminates many good spots and dither packs the peeps together.

Here's a screens hot of the weekend pass fees with and without camping.

 

Are you out playing in the snow today or are you stuck at work as well?

 

Around snowbowl isn't really camping area. we could at the base but not by the resort. lockett meadow is beautiful

 

I want to go but it will be hard to get the time off work since I already have a week off around then for moab..... My boss watches expedition overland so maybe I can convince her....

 

^^^ wow @ those prices! Insane. I'll probably avoid camping at the event, not a fan of being surrounded by large crowds.

 

Ill be there for the whole weekend this year. Not camping as Ill be staying with a friend.​

 

i should be sleeping i got off from a 12 hrs shift at 6am an i go back at 6pm for another 12

 

$155 bucks for my lady and I. LOL. Didn't know it was going to be THAT much.

Rather put that money towards gas and have my own adventure...

 

Yes you're right and that's what i was thinking!I was just in town about a week or so ago and hit up Lockett Meadow!I was going to contact you but misplaced the info we exchanged from several months ago!

 

i think that gets you into all the classes too.

last year there was not one person checking wrist bands, anyone could of walked in
