Our First Adventure at the Northwest Overland Rally in Plain, Washington
This year, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the Northwest Overland Rally in Plain, Washington, for the first time. The experience was everything we hoped for and more, filled with camaraderie, learning, and breathtaking scenery.
The Rally Experience
The Northwest Overland Rally is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about overlanding and outdoor adventure. Held in the charming town of Plain, it attracts enthusiasts from all over the region. The rally offered a mix of workshops, trail runs, and vendor exhibits, making it a perfect blend of education and adventure. We attended various workshops, learning new techniques for vehicle recovery, navigation, and outdoor cooking. The instructors were knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise, making the sessions both informative and enjoyable.
A Special Visit from Brenden of Boondocking Bros
One of the highlights of our trip was a visit from Brenden, a good friend from Boondocking Bros. His surprise visit added an extra layer of excitement to our rally experience. Brenden’s enthusiasm for overlanding is contagious, and it was great to catch up and share stories from the trail. We spent hours discussing gear, sharing tips, and planning future adventures together.
The Scenic Route Home
After an action-packed weekend at the rally, we decided to take the scenic route home. This decision turned out to be a highlight of our trip. The route was filled with stunning waterfalls and quaint little towns, each with its own unique charm.
As we meandered through the winding roads, we were treated to the sight of cascading waterfalls, their mist creating rainbows in the sunlight. We stopped at several of these natural wonders, taking in their beauty and capturing memories with our cameras. Each stop was a reminder of the incredible beauty of the Pacific Northwest and why we love exploring this region.
The little towns we passed through were equally enchanting. From rustic diners serving up hearty meals to local shops offering handmade crafts, each town had something special to offer. We took our time, exploring these hidden gems and chatting with the friendly locals who were always eager to share their stories.
Reflections on Our First NWOR Rally
Attending the Northwest Overland Rally was an unforgettable experience. It was more than just an event; it was a celebration of the overlanding community and the shared passion for exploration and adventure. Meeting fellow enthusiasts, learning new skills, and exploring the scenic route home made this trip truly special.
We are already looking forward to next year’s rally and the chance to reconnect with the friends we made. If you have a love for overlanding and the great outdoors, we highly recommend attending the Northwest Overland Rally. It’s an experience that will inspire you, teach you, and fill you with a renewed sense of adventure.
