My inaugural trip to the 2013 SoCal Desert Rendezvous, put on by the American Adventurist, started in Vegas picking up the awesome Maxtrax Toyota FJ from Ben at Outback Proven. Ben couldn’t make the trip this year, but graciously let me fly in and borrow the FJ for the event. Rendezvous is held at a Boy Scout camp high in the mountains just outside Big Bear in southern California. Just like it’s sister event Desert Rendezvous it is a relatively loose gathering of passionate overlanders who want to get together to share stories around the campfire, explore the local offroad trails and eat amazing food. Mountain Rendezvous was a success at all of the above and had the added benefit of a HUGE free raffle where many people won many cool overland products from the many industry supporters of the event. I’ll let the pictures below reveal the whole story, but I suggest you sign up early next year, as this event fills up quickly! Big shout out to TacoDoc and the whole crew at American Adventurist for hosting another quality overland gathering.
