The irony of my visit to Overland Expo 2018 West was that I flew into an event dedicated to traveling overland (primarily by 4x4 and motorcycle). Nevertheless, it was a great weekend in Flagstaff, Arizona.
My first Overland Expo was in 2011, just after I released the Motorcycle Mexico DVD. The event barely attracted 500 people to the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona. By 2018, the unofficial count was over 15,000 people at the new location further north in Flagstaff!
Overland Expo is a unique event for do-it-yourself adventure travel enthusiasts, with hundreds of session-hours of classes for 4-wheel-drive and adventure motorcycling, inspirational programs, the Overland Film Festival, roundtable discussions, demonstrations, and a large expo featuring over 300 vendors of adventure travel equipment, camping gear, bikes, vehicles, and services.
