Announcement: 2014 Wyoming Overland Rendezvous
Photo from the 2013 Event |
Mark you calendars for June 20-22 as we head to Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains for a weekend of back-country exploration, great food, and making new friends! We received a lot of feedback from our 2013 event that we decided to make the Rally a Yearly event. Each year we will scout a new location to visit to help showcase the beauty our great state has to offer. This year we will be exploring the western side of the Big Horn Mountains near Shell, Wyoming.

Update - 5/29:
I got a recent note from Dave (outofrshell) saying the snow was nearly gone at the Shell Ranger Station but there was quite a lot of snow up higher. The lower gate is still locked but the road looked clear. I will call the FS later this week to check on dates.
