For the last 4 years the folks at Vermont Overland host the Vermont Overland Rally and Workshop. It focuses on the diversity and "localvore" in Vermont. Its a 4 day event that has gone from under 100 participants to almost 250 vehicles. We have anything from bone stock pickups pulling campers to fully built Unimogs that show up. This event is almost worth it just to drool over some of the vehicles that show up.
This year they managed to outdo themselves again. They added 2 more trails to the list, but still were lacking a real challenge. The group of guys I normally wheel with participated in the Vermont Overland Trophy (their version of the Camel Trophy) and still had their maps with them. So we pealed off from the rest of the group and went looking for some challenges. We wheeled 2 days, unfortunately the second day resulted in my rear axle giving up after having to pull a broken Rover through a challenge section after his 4wd and winch failed him.
