Hello All - per our discussion yesterday I have created an Event for our trip to Usal Beach starting October 8. This is mostly a group of folks with trailers, so we'll be traveling slowly (and getting stuck on the beach), but would love to have any of you join in!

Hi East Bay OB crew,

reminder that we will have our Meetup Tomorrow Sunday (Dec 15th) at 1pm at

-The Hop Grenade
- The Hop Grenade
- 2151 Salvio St, Suite JConcord, CA, 94520
- 37.977885,-122.034009

Per Justin parking on the street is the best option. There are also Parking Garages but the height might be limited for some of the bigger rigs.

Lastly if you want please brings some x-mas cookies to share / exchange.

Looking forward to see many of you.
