NORA’s Overland Excursions are educational, informative and fun! Each trip includes Overland training elements for off road driving & vehicle recovery, cooking and camping. All trips avoid highways in favor of scenic back roads, dirt roads, trails and points of interest, yet each is different as the routes change with each trip. Trips include camping at beautiful park campsites or private venues. Participants are welcome to make their own lodging arrangements if they prefer, registered participants will be given the exact location for each overnight. This excursion is led by our friends at Exploring New Hampshire and includes covered bridges, short hikes to waterfalls, and charming small towns where supplies can be replenished or a restaurant meal can be enjoyed.
This training trip has a Mystery theme! Clues will be given throughout the trip and participants will have opportunities along the way to deduce the answer to win a prize. There will be one or two base camps with a goal of around 50 miles on dirt & challenging trails for most days.  This tour is open to stock or modified vehicles with 4-LOW and front/rear recovery points.
