Virginia Is for Lovers –– Bronco Lovers. Join Us at OE East!

Next week kicks off the fourth Overland Expo of the year, and the third one Bronco Nation is attending. We started in Arizona for West –– our first trip with our own Escapod Topo 2, moved on to Oregon for PNW and a Bronco Basecamp, skipped MTN West due to obligations but heard it was a good time, and are finishing out 2022 with East.

We’re excited about OE East –– we love getting together anywhere, but it’s rare we get to do so on that side of the U.S. Virginia is a beautiful state, and our local BN members have us ready to hang out and see the scenes.

We will have Bronco Basecamp set up –– including our yurt-style tents that we set up and take down for you. We’ve got the famous BN pancake breakfast on the schedule all three days, and we’ll be gathering around the campfire at night.

People and Places to See

We aren’t scheduling trail drives this time, but that shouldn’t stop you from lining up with others from Basecamp and heading out after visiting the expo. According to OE veteran @JBEL21, “The area itself is beautiful, an easy drive to Charlottesville, Blue Ridge Parkway, and lots of hiking areas, even a waterfall (Crabtree Falls).”

The Overland Expos have been a good way to see and experience products to improve your overlanding setup or outfit your Bronco –– whether you have it or not. “First time attending Outdoor Expo,” says @Summit981 “Looking forward to seeing accessories and parts ‘in the metal.’ I should note my Bronco isn’t built yet.”

You’ll find some of our partners as exhibitors on the expo field, so if you’ve been eyeing something in the Bronco Nation Gear store but want to see it in person first, now may be a good opportunity. We'll have our Iceland Bronco there as well as our other 4-door Badlands, so you can check out parts and products by ROAM Adventure Co., Heretic Studios, Rock Slide Engineering, TrailRax, and GRT Offroad.

There’s still time to join us, so if your schedule is clear Friday, Oct. 7 through Sunday, Oct. 9, sign up! And if you already had registered to camp prior to hearing about Bronco Basecamp, let us know: We can alert the organizers and have you moved to our group. Direct message me (@Laura) in the forums or drop a note below.

LIVE from the Show: Friday

If you can’t attend, tune in Friday for a livestream from Basecamp. We’ve got a spirited discussion planned; come interact with us in the chat! And for those of you who will make it out, we can’t wait to see you soon. Safe travels!

Others from Bronco Nation are going; chat with them in this forum thread!
