Just got back from OVX 2011. Had a good time. Here's a report with a ton of photos for those that couldn't attend.

Awesome post and report Dave. Wish you would have been more egotistical and taken some better pics of your new trailer... Great pic of you and the pup at sunset, seems you all had a good time.

Dave,

Sorry I didn't connect with you and Yoshi at OX11. I hope that you can participate in the Overland Expo trip report net on the 28th.

It was a great time. Got to meet some very interesting people, see lots of cool gear, and attend some really useful seminars. There were all kinds of rigs present and a surprising number of adventure motorcycles. RawHyde Adventures was promoting the event to the BMW community. There was even a separate motorcycle section at the vendor show area. RawHyde was offering BMW test rides so I took out an R1200GS. First time riding a big bike off road. The bike was surprisingly stable and comfortable even on the gravel.

Probably every roof top tent brand in the world was present either at the vendor show or in the camping area.

I should have some pictures posted by the weekend.
