(Checkout the full Leaderboard for all the Teams’ Week 2 scores)
Week 2 saw our Nomad Teams getting busy with their adventures. Multiple teams were in the middle of Overland Stages and building up points with activities and photo quests. At the top of the leaderboard the first and second place teams swapped positions with just 56 points separating them. Team 130 McClellan pushed into first place with over 1,611 points while Team 117 Lucas dropped into second place with 1,555 points. Team 114 Dolbow continues to hold onto third place with 1,366 points. But the competition is beginning to heat up with five teams already over 1,000 points. Many of the teams are being strategic, going after as many of the Photo Quests as they can find early on in the event. As more teams set out on their Overland Stages we can expect some shuffling around the leaderboard over the coming weeks. The Week 2’s Challenge focused on interpreting Topographical Maps, and it was not an easy one. So far only two of the Teams — Team 134 Fribley and Team 102 Havlik — aced it. The teams still have one more week to attempt it. Meanwhile Challenge #3 was released this morning and it is all about Tires.

Here are some Week 2 highlights from around the 2024 Nomad Overland Rally. So many Teams were out on Overland Stages during our first two weeks that we already have five teams with more than 1,000 points. And there were a few more trail cleanups this week, too. Team 130 McClellan continued their journey in the west, turning northwards as they set off towards the North West Overland Rally which they will be attending as one of their Sponsored Events. Meanwhile Team 117 Lucas was traveling between Arizona and Colorado grabbing a few more activity points en route. Team 114 Dolbow is solidly building up points with some interesting adventures around Texas — including a trip to the Waco Mammoth National Monument where there is an ongoing archaeological dig of fossilized Mammoth remains that has sections open to public viewing. Team 134 Fribley has jumped into the top ten after a busy week exploring along the Oregon coast. Team 119 Archer got off to a good start with a Stage One to Bent’s Fort and a trail cleanup in the Clear Creek Ranger District. Archer and a group of about 30 people from the Colorado 4×4 Girls removed a lot of nasty trash from around the forest, leaving it way better than they found it. The competition is heating up. Check out the Leaderboard to see how everyone ranked at the end of Week 2.
