4W Ranch in Ellensburg, Washington July 27-30, 2011

Training curriculums will include:
-Basic 4WD
-Advanced 4WD
-Adventure Motorcycle training for both basic and advanced riders

-Wilderness medicine by Remote Medical International
-Seminars on expedition logistics and overland travel skills development
-Presentations on unique vehicle setups as well as domestic and international routes
-Stay tuned for more or follow us on facebook for frequent updates to the schedule!

Sounds interesting...

I'd be very interested in going but the dates won't work for me. I might save it for the next one in California, I think it's in October... And here's a picture from a past event to tease some of you guys, and it's even a LHD Pajero!!!

Cheers,
Mr. D

A Paj with Cali plates? Pajeros are importable legally to the US? Maybe that's what I should be looking for until I can import a Deli!

It's a Montero with a 'Pajero' decal on it.

Did anyone end up going to this event? It looked like fun.

Here's the next one May 11-12 in Flagstaff, AZ

Not sure if I can take the time off but there will be some delica.ca crowd there for sure. Check with delicat

We attended another Overland Rally in May, at Flagstaff Arizona -- we loved it. Heaps of useful demos such as how to recover a rolled car, how to remove an engine with a hoist and a couple trees, how to cook great camp food, talks by experienced overlanders, plus the product dealers had hands on displays. People welcomed others to look over their vehicles -- just like at Deli Meats, with hundreds of vehicles!

Leavenworth Rally is a regional rally, is smaller and more intimate than the national Arizona rally. Group Camping in the farmers field, byo food & water etc, and byo porta potty if you don't want a long walk to the proper portables.

Great fun! And you do not need a 4 wheel drive, as most of the demos are in the field by the campsite. The class list is online, but you do not need to sign up now, just wander to your chosen class when you get there.

Webpage info: Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in many exciting training classes and discuss all aspects of Overland travel, in a casual and relaxing environment. You will also have the chance to see new products, talk with manufacturers and get ideas and advice from follow travelers.
