JAMIE’S REVIEW:

That was a beautiful piece of property. I see why panhandler moved. This property is more for wheeling/racing rigs vs overland. Great event even being small, they had a great turn out and I loved that everyone got to know each other. Bigger events you don’t have that opportunity.  The event went well. Everyone was super friendly, encouraging and the vendors were great. The classes were informative. The technical course put on by cutting-edge customs was amazing.  Had a handful of members from WA, OR, ID and CA show up. Prizes were great.

Tell our listeners how they can find Frontier Overland.
