This past weekend, some of our group, on a whim, decided to make an exit and head out to Sandpoint, Idaho for the POR (Panhandle Overland Rally). A very chill and intimate group of adventurers on a very large field. There were a handful of vendors there, including Selkirk Offroad (Idaho), Benchmade

Hi all, Just wondering if there’s any plan to hold the rally this year? Maybe later in the summer?

Thanks for leading the charge, Aaron ! Runnin Family Road Wandering Airing

Hi all, We are on the heels of the NW Overland Rally in a few weeks. The Team and I have been super busy with Life and getting more content for all of you to take advantage of for the Summer. So, we have decided to not have a booth this year, but instead, isolate a section of the Rally camp area fo

If you were on the Douglas Creek trail run either Friday or Saturday and don't see a photo of your vehicle, let me know and I'll try to get you one. I think I got photos of all the vehicles, each day.

This was our very first rally ever. We arived just after 1:00 pm thursday. Waited in line maybe 15 minutes to get to gate. Very well handled and all attendees were very patient and courteous. Met Krystal and another yound lady at checkin. We were directed to our QUIET camp site, where we got set up

I think Evergreen Overland may have produced this? It's pretty doggone good! I'm so glad that the NW Overland Rally has this skills course year after year! It's a great way for people to learn how to use their rather capable vehicles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6CLEsgmKLI&feature=youtu.be Gu

Starting to prepare for the rally - really good stuff rolling in every day. Todays delivery is a pallet of MaxTrax and associated goodies

We need all Trail Leaders and Attendees to check in at the NWOL booth the day before or the day of your trip. We have a LOT of standbys that are chomping at the bit to attend a trail ride. So please do make an effort to do this. We will have check in sheets for pre-registered folks who have signed u

Can't wait! It's only a week from this morning and we head off to the rally! We are looking forward so much to meeting you all and spending some time getting to know many of you. So much to do, so little time to do it all so we can have the green heep in shape for fun times. Vicki says HI too, and l

I read the FAQ but did not find anything about the camping spots. How are they determined. Is it first come first serve or something else?

Another cool session: Three Amigos is running a drop in clinic 9-11am Saturday. We are calling it the "Vehicle 360 and Gear Checkup" drop in. Basically, bring your truck and recovery gear over to the wooded area during the drop in times, and they will give it a once over, letting you know if your r

Harry Maylor is looking for some help to run a fun geocaching clinic at the Rally. He can do the set up and there are 5 caches in Plain that can be done as a walking loop, but Harry has some mobility issues right now. Please send him an email at hkmaylor@hotmail.com if you think you might want to h

Just curious if we will have a group camp setup this year.

Who's going? Any plans yet??? I will be there with my camp and another family. My plan is four spaces for my truck, trailer, a ground tent, and a second vehicle. I would LOVE to be more involved with the NWOL camp this year since last year I kinda felt "off to the side" even tho' I was only two spac

Hey everyone, the 2019 rally is looking awesome! Lots of new presenters, fun vendors, more instructors and classes, and we've rented more field space to spread out even more. I forget to check all the forums, so post questions here and I will try to respond, but for a faster response just post any

I can’t remember when trail rides were announced last year.....we are definitely wanting to do another one this year. Have they been announced yet? 😄 Thanks, julie

I'm departing Yakima at about 14:30 today (Thursday), and it will take me 2 hours to get there. If anyone is an amateur radio op, I'll be monitoring 146.520 and probably be pinging on APRS.FI under K7GTC-7. See ya'll there. Darin (K7GTC)

Two groups tackled the Douglas Creek run. Friday's group got to do about an hour's worth of trail clearing. We used loppers and saws to cut the vegetation back and clear the route. Both groups were full of wonderful people, and I was so pleased to be able to share my "backyard" with them:

Hey all ... this is my first participation at the Rally and I have two questions: 1) - Will there be a trail ride, pre-trip meet-up location communicated from the trip leaders in advance of respective trail rides? ( I am signed up for Hole-in-the-Rock on the 29th and Ruby Creek on the 30th). 2) -

Tod Cole: For those wanting to clean the dust off from the trail runs bring your kayaks and stand up paddle boards. We will plan on a trip to the lake Friday and Saturday to get wet and cool off. Ray Hyland: Nice Tod, I already have one couple who wrote in to say they are keen to bring their kay

Hey all, For those of you that may have missed this or are new to the rally, there's a number of great videos on YouTube that you can check out. One of the areas that is always fun to run through are the technical courses that are setup. This is a pretty good video of that (along with other goings

Howdy! Pretty stoked to mention that Black Raven Brewing and Adventure Ready got together for their Happy Hour on Saturday! Meg and I will be pouring some tasty beers so c'mon by and say hello, looking forward to meeting some of y'al finally! Also, beer!

While I have not been to the NW Overland Rally, I will be working hard toward attending next year. This year the Non Profit I support has been way down on funds, so most of my cash is going there. While it is sad that I won't get to go, there are more important things I need to take care of. I ho

I see Douglas Creek, Hole in the Rock, Chumstick, Sugarloaf, and Ruby Creek listed as the guided trail rides but I'm not familiar with any of those areas yet. Just wondering what each might be classified as as far as technical difficulty level, easy/intermediate/hard? Any of them doable in a capable

I procrastinated way too long and finally got signed up for Hole in the rock. Last one available 😳. What’s the most technical area of this run?
