Good afternoon everyone! It's past time for an update so bear with me here.
For thirteen incredible years, every October we've gathered around campfires, explored back roads, shared stories, and built friendships that have lasted far beyond a weekend in the woods.
Last year marked our 13th annual event, and after much thought, we've decided that it will stand as the final chapter of this adventure.
This isn't a sad ending—it's a celebration of everything we were fortunate enough to experience together. What started as a simple idea grew into a community of people who valued adventure, fellowship, and the joy of exploring the road less traveled. We've watched strangers become lifelong friends, families grow, and countless memories be made one dusty mile at a time.
To our wonderful families, thank you for your patience, encouragement, and countless sacrifices over the years. You shared this journey with us every bit as much as we did.
To every volunteer who gave your time, your energy, and your heart—thank you. You were the first to arrive, the last to leave, and the steady hands that kept everything moving behind the scenes. Your generosity made this event possible year after year.
To Oxford Ranch Campground, LLC, who gave us a wonderful home for so many of those years. We thank you for all those memories.
To all the amazing vendors that came out over the years, you guys helped make everything so much fun.
And to our Sponsors, thank you for believing in what we were building. Your support helped turn a simple idea into a community that welcomed thousands of adventurers over thirteen years. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and your trust.
Finally, to everyone who ever attended, whether it was once or every single year, thank you for becoming part of this family. You are the reason this event became so much more than a weekend on the calendar. Together, we built a community rooted in adventure, generosity, and genuine friendship.
All things eventually come to an end, and this is ours. We leave with grateful hearts, incredible memories, and the satisfaction of knowing that, together, we built something special. Thirteen years is a legacy that belongs to every person who was part of this journey.
As every overlander knows, it's never really about the destination—it's about the journey and the people you meet along the way. Thank you for making this journey one we'll never forget.
We'll see you somewhere down the trail.
