Thats exactly why we have it mid-week. If you do a meet up do it every week. Some weeks you will have only a couple people show up, other weeks you will have a bunch.

Sounds like meet ups are best suited to week day gatherings with an occasional week end?

That wound suggest that these gatherings would attract more of a local crowd with a random out of towner? I live two and a half hours north of Sacramento and driving five hours for an evening event might be a stretch.

Yeah, it's usually mostly locals just having a beer. SF sometimes has a bigger weekend meetup on Sunday morning at Black Diamond Cafe in Emeryville, there are both OB and some other expedition web site's folks there.

I think it's usually a lot of ExpeditionPortal and NorCal FJ guys. the two times I have been there, it's a good turn out

Any plans for another East Bay or SF meetup? I missed the last couple from not seeing the posts in time. Spring is here so the itch to head to the mtns is back!

Some come every week, others whenever they can make it. The idea behind weekly is that you have 4 chances a month to make it without a conflict in your schedule. By no means do we commit to come every week. It's worked out well so far. Tonight we had a dozen people :-)

im trying to plan a trip out to Hollister Hills for a little camping/wheeling (im in Concord) i've never been there but have heard alot of people talk about it and my girl will finally have a weekend off. Plan is to meetup saturday morning, the 22nd, and head there. Mess around saturday, camp saturday night. then hangout/mess around sunday and leave sunday afternoon/evening. Would anybody else be down to go? Feel like it would be best to try to get others to go since i have never been there and hopefully you have haha

Really fun place, lots to do on the trails and some obstacles to try. Just went yesterday wish I could show you around but I'll be gone the 22nd.
-Camp at Sycamore campground. More shade and bathrooms are good. They also have hot showers there. I say that because at the end of the day is a good idea to take a shower with Tecnu due to the poison oak in the area. Or at least arms and face.
-Bring your own wood to burn, do not collect any there, same reason.. Oak.
- grab a map at the entrance, most trails are marked. Green and blue are not hard and some balcony diamonds are easy too it's just because they are a little steeper. But with the good weather it's mostly drying up so traction is it a problem
- go all the way to the top (McCray rd) for lunch. It's a nice view up there
- regret doing frame twister, done it plenty of times and usually is just water in there. There was tons of mud in there and took me 4 hrs to pleasure wash everything to get it all out back to super clean undercarriage.

It would be very cool if there was a group from Overland Bound that had meetings in Sonoma County. I live in Sebastopol..
We should make it happen, I know me and @CM_USMC707 and another guy (not sure his username on here) are in Sonoma County. Believe there's a few people in Napa as well.
I'd be game! Ya there's a few sonoma county members
Lagunitas would be a cool place potentially, outdoor seating, usually live music, loads of parking in their overflow lots. And Petaluma is somewhat of a centralized location?
Gentleman.. And I say that loosely.. Lol..
That sounds awesome.. Anytime, Any place is cool with me..

I'd come up and over for a Petaluma meet depending on date and time. Love getting up to that area for biking and beer.
