Overland Expo 2014 - Who's going?

I am registered to go. Will be leaving out of Colorado Springs if anybody wants to meet up and convoy down to Flagstaff.

Maybe we should move this thread to "General Discussion" to get some more eyes on it. I am sure there are more people going this year.
 
Got my camp site at Arch View confirmed... anyone else decided yet where they are heading after the Expo?

Working on the (wife friendly) trail selection around Moab now...
Will be mainly the easy and medium trails in area 1. looking at doing 36 or 37 in area 3 on our way onward to Grand Junction on the last day.

If you are a twitter or Facebook fan, you can get 50% the entrance fee, just like Okki posted above. We'll be there Thursday night, Friday and heading out to Antelope canyon on Saturday. I'm here for the vendors and there are plenty of great ones here.
I'll have my trailer too.
 
For those who are interested, I can compile a list of our cell numbers so we can coordinate a RTT/Trailer drool session and maybe hit one of the local establishments. My wife and I are staying at the Marriott in town.

If you are interested, just PM me your contact info and I'll PM it to all respondents once collated.

2) sundog7121
3) RTar

I reserved a campsite in the campground (not way out in the east 40). I'll have a small RTT trailer, and will have room for one more small trailer. Cost will be $40.00 for the extra trailer, paid to the campground. Anybody interested?

What book is that screen shot from?
 
I might be up for driving down to NC from CT. I was about to sign up for the VT overland rally which I think is the weekend after this. It would need to be a one or the other thing for me with them that close together.

edit: need to clean it up into a table, but it's all there... including links to some youtube videos to get an idea of the trail. these are pretty tame, but the wife doesn't want any cliff hangers this year....
