Mr.BlueSky Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hello Land Rover People! We are thrilled to announce that the club will be hosting the First Annual Overland Event in 2022. The goal for the Overland Event will be to provide a once yearly, multi-day, club sponsored overland event. Think Rovicon, but with less rocks ; ). We will aim for a relaxed, exploratory pace. _____ 2022 Overland Event Location: For 2022, we plan on traversing Legs 1 & 2 of the Eastern Mojave Heritage Trail in Southern California. The route will start in Needles, CA and conclude in Ludlow, CA covering approximately 412 miles. The trip highlights are many, including petroglyphs, old wagon roads, railroad berms, local history, mines, sprawling Joshua tree forest, and of course, incredible desert camping opportunities galore! Dates and Itinerary: April 10th to April 16th As always our pace will depend on a variety of factors including road conditions, speed, interest in stops, etc. Registration: Cost per driver is $45, $20 per Passenger Club Members will get a discount and get first grabs at the open slots before we open this to the public. The registration fees will go towards T-shirts, patches and other goodies. Registration will go live on February 10th. is LIVE! --> https://forum.norcalrovers.org/store/category/8-trips-events/ Registration will be limited to 15 vehicles in order to maintain a manageable event. Difficulty & Vehicle Requirements: Stock vehicles are certainly welcome and will likely have no issues on the trail. While the trail is certainly not easy in all places, I expect we can get everyone through without major difficulty. Things to expect: Pinstripes are 100% going to happen. Divorce yourself from your paint now. There are many steep drops and rises in and out of washes, depending on what this year's winter brings, the roads could be fine, or a washed out disaster. Vehicles that have low profile front and rear bumpers may see scuffing/contact. Minimum Vehicle Requirements Mechanically Sound Rover (as best as they are) Working E-Brake/Parking Brake 30" tires including full-size spare Recovery Points front and rear Center Differential Lock (CDL) (or other modern equivalent) Minimum Gear Requirements: Enough water for each participant for multiple days Extra Fuel Spare parts and tools Fire Extinguisher First Aid kit Recommended Vehicle Requirements and gear: Armor (rear bumpers, diff guards, sliders) Working winch Vehicle Jack and Tire patch kit Shovel *Thread is locked for now to prevent cross chatter on members only thread - thread will unlock on March 14th* *If there are any questions please feel free to reach out to myself or the club at president@norcalrovers.org.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
