Greater Treasure Valley (Idaho) Meet Up - 01/04/18

[stevenboise]

I've seen some talk around the forums for a meet up for southern Idaho / Treasure Valley but no dates.

So I thought I would take the plunge and set one up for after the holidays.

So here goes:

Date: Thursday, January 4, 2018.
Time: 1900 hrs
Place: Payette Brewery on River St (733 S Pioneer St, Boise, ID 83702)

I have no idea how that date, time, place works for everyone but I hope it does for a start. We can work on days of the week, times and locations around the valley for future meet ups so we can spread the travel around a bit.

Payette doesn't serve food, but usually has good food trucks. They are super dog friendly and have large tables for meetings. Thursdays are usually a bit slower than other days of the week, so hopefully that works out.

RSVP in this thread below.

Bummer. I work shift work with bad days off, as far as the rest of the world goes.

Maybe enough people can show up on 1-4 to figure out how to rotate meet up days of the week. I just picked Thursday as it's one of my days off. We'll see who/how many show up and we can switch days next time as we find a happy medium.

Ya I hear ya. I work nights on the second half of the week so I have a weird schedule too. If there is enough interest though I may try to get the 4th off. Would be cool to meet some local OB members.

That time and day would work for me. Thanks.

I got the day off, so I will be there!

Should we add to rally point? https://www.overlandbound.com/create-rally-point/

I thought Rally Point was for trail runs and such. I looked around a bit before posting as I thought the same thing.

I could be wrong and if Rally Point is more appropriate, I don’t have any issues with getting the word out.

Got completely distracted. Just now posted it. Sorry for being late on that :)

I would like to RSVP as well. I just moved into the area and am looking forward to meeting some overlanders up here.

Ugh, crapola, I would love to make it out, but pretty sure I'm not going too. I have to much to take care of still tonight. I just finished launching a website for an event we host, still gotta work out, haven't eaten, blah blah blah. Sorry guys. I swear I'm a real person.

How was the trip man?

I gotta make it out to Death Valley, I still haven't been. That looks beautiful.

Thanks for the kind words. It was great to see so many people show up.

It was funny to realize that some of us had already met before but didn’t realize it! I thought that was pretty funny. Someone mentioned the Treasure Valley’s “3 degrees of separation” and I think that’s pretty accurate (it was pretty funny too).
