Every year EarthRoamer plans an Owner's Rally somewhere within a day’s drive of their Colorado factory – typically in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, or Arizona. All EarthRoamer owners are invited to attend along with as many EarthRoamer employees as practical. This was our first year joining the rally which started near Steamboat Springs, Colorado and traveled along mostly backcountry roads through parts of the Roosevelt, Routt and Medicine Bow National Forests in Colorado and Wyoming. The typical daily agenda included a few hours of off-road driving, scenic lunch spots and evenings spent around the campfire enjoying potluck dinners and entertainment. EarthRoamer also conducted training sessions throughout the rally on topics such as off-road driving, self recovery and general maintenance. However, Todd and Shonah agree that the most enjoyable aspect of the rally was having the opportunity to meet other EarthRoamer owners and travel enthusiasts who share our joy of exploring the roads less traveled. It is always great to see how each owner customizes their vehicle and hearing their tales of adventure.

I LOVE all of the pictures with the stars. Kids loved camping last year. Looking forward to some more remote camping with them as they get older. I haven't seen a good milky way it YEARS.
