I was pretty interested in attending the first-ever Overland Expo, especially since it was just north of us in Prescott Valley, Az. I questioned the site chosen, but kept an open mind and headed north to enjoy mingling with other like-minded folks.
My friend Laurence joined me on the drive north in his Nissan Frontier. He had never taken the Senator Highway to Prescott before so we decided to take the dirt route. After picking up some last minute supplies in Prescott we heading in to the Fairgrounds and the Overland Expo. We checked out the cool new Adventure Trailer Teardrop, socialized and made camp for the night.
The following morning we woke up and, surprise! It was windy in Jackass Flats. I was happy to be sleeping in the truck. We packed up and wandered around the Expo talking with more friends and checking out some of the cool vehicles there.
Around noon we left to meetup with a group in Chino Valley to run Smiley Rock. This was the first big trail run I took the 4Runner on and it performed well! Good enough to pull that Nissan off a rock!
Our trip ended with a huge group campout and potluck near Potato Patch. We checked in quickly Sunday morning back at the Expo, grabbed lunch at the brewery in Prescott and returned to Phoenix.
