Horizons Unlimited Virginia

It was an absolute delight returning to the Horizons Unlimited Travelers Meeting in Virginia last weekend!!!

I’ve been attending this event since before it moved to its current home at the Holiday Lake 4-H Educational Center outside Appomottox. However, I wasn’t able to attend last year. Being back among this amazing group of friends, comerades, and adventure riders was a real treat! I was there as both a presenter, and as the event photographer. My friend, Jason, and I put on a presentation about our Destination Congo trip…which is a crazy story full of great life lessons, riding cheap motorcycles 1000 km through the swampy jungles and across the sandy savannas of the Democratic Republic of Congo, in support of Dr. Paul Law’s medical mission. Check out the video recap here: https://youtu.be/c1RCmG-1Ago.

For the photography, I kept things simple and lightweight. Afer all, we traveled there on our motorcycles, which don’t have a lot of room for luggage! I used the Nikon Zf with a Nikkor Z 24-120 f4, and a Nikkor Z 40mm f2, along with the DJI Mini 3 Pro.

Horizons Unlimited – Virginia Travellers Meeting

The Horizons Unlimited Virginia 2019 event took place at the Holiday Lake 4-H Center near Appomattox from April 25th – April 28th. It was a record-setting event, with the largest turnout yet!

“Whether you’re a seasoned veteran with wisdom to share or a complete novice hungry for ideas and guidance, it doesn’t matter if you ride a motorcycle, a bicycle, or drive an expedition vehicle…
Horizons Unlimited meetings are for everyone who dreams of adventure along the road less travelled.

Some people value Horizons Unlimited events for what they learn from the unique line-up of presenters. Some people value the chance to discover new products and services at the trade stands. Some people value just kicking back with a beer among old friends and new.

Most people enjoy a little bit of everything, and everyone goes home fired-up for adventure with a smile on their face.”

Many thanks to Sue & Grant Johnson, for founding this amazing organization, to Steve Anderson for orchestrating the Virginia Travelers Meeting, to Steve’s merry band of organizers, including Linda Pearce, Jim Truesdell, Robert Stransky, Sharon Truesdell, Charlie Pearce, Lloyd Messner, and Annette Stout, to all the fabulous presenters including keynote speaker Sam Manicom, to Tom Asher for the off-road training, to all the camp staff, to the many fabulous volunteers, and of course to each and every awesome attendee!!!

Here are a few photos from this fantastic weekend for you to enjoy, tag, share, and download. Thank you so much to Sue and Grand for trusting me to be the event photographer again this year!!!
