Overland Expo 2014 – Social Media Coverage
Overland Expo 2014 (OX14) begins shortly. The annual event attracts several thousand enthusiastic overlanders and like-minded travelers.
The Expo is very much worth attending for instruction, sharing of information, vehicle and other displays, and of course socializing. I’d go every year if I could, but I just don’t have the budget for it right now. As a result, I’ll be living vicariously through the posts of many friends and acquaintances who will be there and sharing their experiences via social media.
In the spirit of sharing, here are some of those accounts to watch during OX14:

That should keep you busy keeping tabs on OX14. If you know of other accounts I should have listed, by all means let me know, and I’ll update my lists. Also note that while all of these these folks should be at OX14, not all of them might be actively posting during the Expo, and some may post to accounts that are not publicly-accessible.
