Welcome Dave & Michelle! I'm your neighbor (Whidbey Island)! I try to do a monthly meetup/campout every month, and I'm currently planning a campout for later this February just east of y'all! Keep an eye out on the Rally Point page and on the forums.

Here are a few tips to get you started:
-Check out the local region's forums for events and meetups in your area.

-Check out the Rally Point system and the Member Map for events and other people around you. Super helpful.

-Our region also has a FB page.

If you need anything, feel free to PM me or tag me in the forums at @Gabriel Bozeman.

Cheers!
