Vermont Overland event

[Hank_]

Just came across this a little while ago and was curious if any of you east coast guys were going to give this a shot. http://www.vermontoverland.com/vot/

It looks like a lot of fun and I have been wanting to try something like this some day. Perhaps next year. If anyone here gives it a shot I hope you take lots of pics.

This looks awesome!!! Would love to do it someday, and would love to follow along with anyone who is doing it.

I traded some emails with the guy who runs this event, and we signed up for one of his one day trips in July - Bennington or Bust! Looks like the one day trips are a bit milder terrain and more family oriented, so I'm hoping it's a fun time.

That being said, I've just got done reading a few reports and some photo blogs of the previous years VOT events and it looks awesome! Would be cool to see an EB join in the fun.

Looks like you need two vehicles to run it. I too would like to give it a shot. Please post how your trip goes.

Randy - last weekend of July. http://www.vermontoverland.com/vo-day-trips-are-back/

Trying to find a relatively inexpensive place to stay so that we can make it a long weekend. VT is super popular in the summer apparently, lots of places already booked.

Might be sleeping 4 deep in the Bronco!

Here is an interesting thread about the full 4 day Overland Trophy event: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/94774-VERMONT-OVERLAND-TROPHY-August-7-12-2013

And here is a cool trip report loaded with pictures from a guy who did the 2010 event. http://hardrockcrawlers.shutterfly.com/vot2010

This event is 2 weeks away. We're heading up to VT this weekend and will hit some of the easier trails with our 4Runner. Here's an awesome video of the dry run on the course that the organizer and a few friends did last weekend:

I would love to join you for this run. I will have to wait until spring to say for sure. I have a daughter graduating in the spring and I will have to see how busy spring/summer will be. Keep me in mind if you end up going.
