About this episode
A quick “Soobie Scoop” points listeners to an Instagram Reel recap of Overland Expo West 2026 in Flagstaff, Arizona, featuring rapid 1.5-second clips totaling about a minute and seven seconds. The host then lays out plans for multiple long-form YouTube videos—covering the Sooboo space with factory/owner vehicles, the Thursday trail ride to the edge of the world, and Camp Sooboo activities. An extra bonus audio episode is also coming, plus an in-person Episode 229 recorded Sunday.
In this edition of the Subie Scoop I give a visual recap of the event with Subaru of America from Overland EXPO West 2026 in Flagstaff, Arizona. This was such a great trip meeting new people and seeing people I hadn’t seen since last year at Overland EXPO East in Virginia.
Camp Subaru was elevated this year and was such an amazing space put together for all the campers and others who were truly blessed to experience Camp Subaru! The food was AMAZING!!! Not your typical camp food, this was gourmet food we all experienced! So, so good!!
The space for Subaru at the EXPO was also elevated with a permanent structure for the pet adoption, an area for genuine Subaru accessories, and more space for all the vehicles and people to move around with ease. There were three factory vehicles, all Wilderness editions; Crosstrek, Forester, and Outback. The Forester Hybrid that Carey Mtn Subi drove in the Rebelle Rally was also featured in the booth along with two owner vehicles, a Crosstrek Wilderness driven by Mercedes and Andy of Crankshaft Culture and a Forester Sport driven by Chris Silverroo Offroad.
There is more content to come from this event, so stay tuned…
