Me too. The entry fee usually turns me away, but this year I was supposed to go with a buddy who builds some overland gear for Jeeps. One of the highlights was going to be something built for my JT, but things haven’t worked out and it may not happen.

I’ll be attending Mtn. West in Loveland Colorado.

Last year I did a single day pass to the first Mtn West Expo ever, and it was phenomenal. I’d say I was able to see 80% of it in one day, but I was only able to really interact with 10% of the vendors in such a short timeframe.

That single day was a damn dangerous trip for the wallet… but offered some serious build cost savings. I was able to pickup a Dometic fridge/freezer combo for $400 under MSRP.

Overland Expo is certainly worth a trip. I’ll be taking PTO from work and camping every night this year. If anyone else is going to Mountain West, drop a message!

Went last year. Spent 2 days there. Tons of neat stuff ....mostly camping. Well worth the trip if you have never attended.

Depends on my son's baseball. I'd probably just do a single day out of it

I’ll be volunteering again this year, it’s definitely worth it

I just buy the coleman stuff, works just as good.

Wife and I heading that way from San Diego. Last minute trip. Debated on doing the whole camp inside but man is it expensive. We also kicked around the idea of pulling the off road camper and wing’n looking for a dispersed campsite close by. Seems to risky not knowing the area. I think we decided on getting a hotel And doing just Saturday.

FYI there are tons of places to camp dispersed in that area.

Tempting, whats the best way to find them? Also, I assume since this is a big overlanding event , even the dispersed camp areas will be busy?

Get off around munds park, drive east on any dirt road you find.

My family and I will be at Sunday for Mountain West. It is a fun event. We have gone the last two years.

Regarding dispersed camping near Flagstaff, there's this: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1104836.pdf

Which looks worse than it is. All these closed areas are pretty close to the city. I usually head west on I-40 until it opens up, turn left on any dirt road.
