If you’ve been scouring the map for an overlanding experience that’s as thrilling as a backcountry trail but as welcoming as your local off-roading club, look no further. The Overland of America Expo, hitting Jay, Oklahoma, this September 13-15, 2024, is a new gathering of overlanding enthusiasts that promises to offer an experience that’s a bit different from what you’ll find among the current shows.
