Ill be there camping by myself this time. Let me know if any one wants to meet up and camp together.
I was going to go to this and the AR but alas the football schedule of the Tennessee Volunteers is in conflict with the Expo.... So maybe next year... Hope to see you at the AR, though!
Yeah, I'd like to see some tackles on dancing with the "stars"...
Football and baseball are the only two sports worth watching
ECHL Hockey and baseball are the only two sports worth watching
I fixed it for you Dave

Another Vols fan! Did you go to school there or just a fan? I went to school there for a year, lived in Hess Hall, then joined the Navy.
This is your first Expo, right? No worries, you absolutely won't be camping alone! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the AAV banner.

I am new to this forum,My name is Mike and I am from Lake Lanier, GA. . but will be attending the expo from thurs to monday. would like to meet anyone from this forum who will be attending. I have two adventure rigs, but will probably only bring the old chevy and leave the 1956 power wagon at home. dont want to show up all those rovers...lol.
are you guys planning on having a group area/campsite or just catch up at some point during the event. If a group area is the plan, has anyone decided on a spot? And is anyone else going to be there mid day Thurs?

I'll be there. Look for my truck...
Just kidding
I'll be there Thursday but this is all new real estate for us - we have no dedicated camp planned. I'll also be working at the event as an instructor for vehicle recovery so maybe we'll run into each other. Look for something like this...

TangoBlue, I am signed up for "vehicle recovery using a winch" on Friday morning. Are you the instructor for this? If so, can I get the notes and test questions now so I can "study"????? lol. I will post some pics of my "trucks" when I get back from Fly In and read "how to post pics" for 4,000,000,000,000 time if it sinks in. My power wagon is similar to red one but everything is bigger, except interior space. lol. I am still working on both trucks, but will be in my 1988 (squarebody) chevy 1 ton dually 4x4 standard cab dually with topper set up for camping and hauling the power wagon. I may have my yamaha big wheel as a "pit bike" with me as well. working on a way to hang my hammock from my truck as "we cannot tie anything to the trees" on the property. Maybe we should plan some of our meals as a small group to help with provisioning as we get closer.
Nice rig and set up by the way........ love the yotas.

Yes, I will be teaching that along with Scott Fields our host for the Appalachian Rendezvous. You signed up for that too, right? ARV attendees usually get top marks in the class from what I hear. The ones that don't sign-up, [molar suck] well, it doesn't bode well for them - just sayin'.
I want to hear more about the fly-in. This would be worth visiting and worthy of a story of its own right... ahem, OutdoorX4, ahem. This certainly is OVER-Landing - literally.

Will be attending.
And the Appalachian Rendezvous, too? I mean if you can't that's fine, I just wouldn't expect to find your tires unslashed from the Expo - pretty rough crowd there I hear.

We'll be happy to see you there.
I understand. After 35 years of marriage, next time I marry for money instead of beauty...

didn't get too many pics or videos but this is what I got. Want to see what they can really do watch a video on youtube called "dead stick takeoff". The aircraft are mostly homebuilt kits by Just Aircraft and are the Highlander and the Super STOL.
Here a quick video I shot with my gopro. It is the owner of the Just Aircraft company showing off his super Stol that has over 2300 hours I think.
