Cool!

We (Overland Journal) will sponsor the event with some prizes, and I hope I can make it to the event as well.

Cheers

Hey Everyone,

Only 37 days, 9 hours, 45 minutes and 17 seconds left until the start of the 2013 Northwest Challenge! This year held in the North Okanagan region of BC.

This is the 25th year of the NWC, so if you're one of the old regulars, you definitely want to be involved this year! And what better way to get started with NWC than to come out to the 25th anniversary event, and meet the original 3 organizers – Aart, Doug and Gord'n – in their element.

There are 4 more days to register at the $60 price. On September 1 it changes to $80 per team, so make sure you sign up in the next few days to get the early-bird price. Even if you're missing name of co-driver or other info (or need to pay at the time of the event rather than PayPal), take the time to register your team ASAP.

You can get the details here: nwchallenge.com

Direct link to the registration page here: http://nwchallenge.com/registration/

Hope to see you at this year's Northwest Challenge!

Dave & Pamela Blair

We attended this year as last minute volunteers and were truly impressed with the organization and planning that went into the event. Thanks so much to Pam and Dave for the hard work!

Don and Mike were awesome competitors as were the rest of the field. All participants were great sports and the volunteers were a fun bunch. We hadn't attended a NWC since 2001 - so it was really nice to come back and be a part of the excitement.

Thanks so much Roverlanders.

See you at Founders Day 2014.

Bryan and Torianna Hoult

Congratulations to Don, Mike and the White Rabbit!

The rubber boots suggest that this year's challenge was need we say "challenging."

Sad to have missed it but looking forward to the photos and stories.
