Overland Expo 2010

After a night in an El Paso, Texas I headed to southern Arizona for the 2010 Overland Expo (ovexpo.com). I spent the weekend learning about overland travel, meeting fellow enthusiasts, safety, equipment, travel stories, etc. For those who are wondering, overlanding means to travel with the assistance of a vehicle, often crossing international borders, with journeys lasting weeks, months, or even years. The vehicles range from motorcycles to absurdly outfitted homes on wheels which boast every modern convenience. Most of the rigs at the Expo were very impressive, some were off-the-wall, and a few were mind-blowing (check out the pictured Eco-Roamer. The photo doesn't do it justice; it's huge!)
