Baja Bound Mexican Insurance made the trek out to Amado, Arizona last weekend for the second annual Overland Expo. The three day event was an adventure travelers dream, with a variety of overlanding workshops and classes as well as a ton of exhibitors offering just about everything you need to get out and see the world by land. The people we met, products we saw and charitable causes we learned about were awesome! Here are some photos from the weekend…

Here are a group of overlanders participating in a round table discussion.

Alexis from American Overland Expedition – They do custom builds and vehicle modifications as well as providing training for off-road driving, recovery and expedition travel.

This Sportsmobile would be pretty amazing for a Baja road trip!

Lance from Disabled Explorers with the custom Sportsmobile for they use for their trips. A big project they are taking on this year is getting Baja legend Coco set up with a set of prosthetic legs that fit him properly. It is going to require a lot of time and money, so donate to Disabled Explorers if you can!

The BMW Motorcycles booth had demo bikes for overlanders to try out. Their booth was pretty busy all weekend long!
