The 2023 Nomad Rally was my first of this kind of rally. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed “virtual overlanding”. So, of course, I jumped on board as soon as the 2024 event was posted. Although I bought my lightly used Jeep in 2020, I still consider myself a newbie. I was fearless until I went a bit off camber and ended up tipping on the passenger side catching my husband’s hand as he tried to stop us from going over. I still don’t like “tippy”. After “the tip” I joined Ladies OffRoad Network where I met Wendy DiCaprio, a fellow Jeeper. We became fast friends who enjoy taking trails into the back country to explore old mills, mines, abandoned homesteads and all the sights not seen from the pavement. We both participated in the 2023 Rally. In July, my husband and I travelled north to Washington towing the Jeep. We completed several “Stages” along the way. I’m looking forward to this year’s Nomad Rally.
