NE Overland Rally: Gathering of the Tribe in VT
Vermont Overland has hosted the NE Overland Rally for a number of years now, and the event has been the highlight of the overland calander in the NE. The Vermont Overland Trophy, after its inagural run this past August, might be taking over that title, but in the end is a VERY different style of event. The Rally is all about catching up with good friends, chatting about gear and sampling VT’s finest trails, local goods and culinary offerings. For the full details read my article on Motus World. The photos below offer up a good overview of the event, with photos that didn’t quite make the cut for the Motus aricle. Enjoy and be sure to check out EVEN MORE photos in the NE Overland Rally FB Gallery.
