The Rally is in full swing, and teams are busy exploring across the country on as they set out to complete their Overland Stages. Here is a curated collection from our social space to give you a sense of the adventure.
Stage 12 nomadoverlandrally was another long day from just east of Boise, ID to Great Basin NP. I`ve been trying to add Great Basin to one of my overland trips for a couple of years and made it happen this year. It was penciled in as a potential destination and when planning my trip home from WA, I was able to include it on my route.
We stopped at Hagerman Fossil Beds, the visitor center, plus a monument to the sheep industry in the area. Later, when gassing up in NV, a U-Haul had information about one of the animals I had seen fossilized earlier.
This route was very remote, US-93 does not have the small towns US-95 has but there were 2 Love`s Travel Centers that I was able to stop at for fuel.

Stage 10 nomadoverlandrally was a long day, more than 400 miles traveled, and it was 13 hours from campsite to campsite. There was a really good reason for such a long day, I needed to wash my hair! I learned on this trip that at day 4, I need a shower for my sanity! I joined friends for PNW4WDA Trail Jamboree and was at the same campsite for several days so the dog`s Woof Den was set-up, again.

Stage 9 nomadoverlandrally was spent exploring the northern portion of Whidbey Island. The day started with a ferry ride, we visited state parks - Fort Ebey, Fort Casey, and Deception Pass, a sculpture forest, and ended at the drive-in.

Stage 6 nomadoverlandrally is when I reached my destination! I had applied to be in the Showcase/DIY area at Overland Expo PNW and was selected! This was the first time I set up all the gear I had packed as we were in Redmond, OR for 4 nights. After one of the sessions in the education area, I improved the shade structure I had setup - it`s a spare tire shade I used with the jeep that was rained on and sagged.

Stage 4 Nomad Overland Virtual Adventure Rally was almost 300 miles with lots of stops - 3 Visitor Centers, I missed Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, a hike to Lady Bird Johnson Grove, Big Tree Wayside, plus driving a dog friendly dirt road, Cal Barrel Rd in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. Another stop just before the Oregon State Line for a bottle of Eagle Rare and a stop in Gold Beach for a bottle of Blantons, both made it home, untouched!

Stage 3 for nomadoverlandrally - I saw my first deer of the trip after entering the park, it crossed the road a few hundred feet in front of me, I`m glad I stopped at the park sign for a pic as that may have saved it (and me) a headache (or worse). My planned drive through the park and route for the day changed when I discovered the road was still closed due to snow! Snow was not on my late June/early July bingo card. Then again, living in the Phoenix metro area, snow is never on my bingo card!

Stage 2 of Nomad Overland Virtual Adventure Rally was Walker Lake to Lassen National Forest. This was the first day of traveling through new areas. From the time I exited I-80 to US 395 N in Reno, everything until mid-July when I hit US 89 at the Arizona border was I place I`d never been to before. Daye Sloope and I were able to meet for brunch, and catch up in Reno.

Stage 1 of the 2025 Nomad Overland Virtual Adventure Rally started in late June when started my journey to Overland Expo PNW. My original plan was to camp in thy Gemfield, NV area but high winds and dropping temps changed that and I pushed on to Walker Lake.

How do you let people know where you’re going when heading off-road and out of cell phone service for extended periods of time? I try to travel responsibly by preparing a Leave Behind document for my family with an itinerary and contact info for any relevant land authorities. What do you do??? #nomad25 #nomadoverlandrally #onxoffroad #treadlightly nomadoverlandrally treadlightlyteam
Trip planning for the summer and totally forgot that you can look at a 3D representation of your map in onX Offroad! Very cool! #nomadoverlandrally nomadoverlandrally #nomad25 #onxoffroad
