Pulled toward the East Coast like a bee to honey, we jumped at the opportunity to hop on a plane to fly across the country and check out Overland Challenge, even amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Hosted by Southern Xpeditions, Overland Challenge 2020 took place November 6-8, 2020, in Uwharrie, North Carolina. Why head out there? Because of all the events we’d heard of or had attended, this one was unlike the rest. A competition that highlights all the skills needed for driving off-road trails and setting up the ultimate campsite appealed to our senses and brought intrigue. Whether you have loads of experience with recovery, spotting someone, or picking a line, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of a vehicle, or the intricacies of setting up camp quickly, this event highlights those talents, all while utilizing teamwork to an advantage. All that encompassed in a weekend filled with camaraderie and an overall good time? Heck, that was an easy sell.
