Maybe we don't split off to another forum, but as soon as someone makes a trip suggestion they can make a group chat for it. That way all of that discussion is kept off our main thread.

Possibly just add a note at the bottom of each trip suggestion to ask to be added to the chat if you're interested, so any newbies that join can also jump in.

I dig it. Only thing I can think of is have that first threat or w.e. be the info thread. Who ever creates it will just have to keep it updated. That way ppl arent sifting through posts or pages looking for that one thing. They can open the thread, see the info, and roll with it.

@smplone I would go ahead and start a group chat/rally point. Kind of what we have been doing. Then just throw the link in the thread or start a new thread to showcase it. IMO, if you throw the rally point here with no dedicated thread then it might get washed out in the banter.

Personally, I know I will not be able to attend due to work but would be interested in future excursions.

October Monthly Trip - DC / MD / VA - 10/20/2017 created from this conversation. Not sure how else to link it for anyone following this particular thread or to target DMV folks.

If you are looking to target people outside this thread, I would look at posting it under the "East" portion of the Overland Bound by Region.

Might get some traction on ExPo but I have not had great luck on that site.

Idk how Novembers are here but anyone looking to do anything around then? Maybe do an "Overlanders" and coffee meet and greet?

Know the next couple of months will be busy with holidays but maybe we could all get together and run some trails or discuss possibilities for trips next year.

I'm down as long as it doesn't fall on a day I work. I work 24 hrs on 72 hrs off, so I can be really flexible. Also, if guys are looking to meet up during the week for an overnighter or even to grab coffee or beers & shoot the shit, I'm usually able to make it work. I'd imagine most of you work a traditional schedule, but if not, get at me!

We're still pretty busy working on the house to finish this siding project, so we can't commit to anything overnight in immediate future as nearly all spare time is being spent on the house (to finish everything before it gets cold out). However, I would definitely try to make a coffee/drinks meetup as long as it's not super far away. @DRJ is in Springfield, what's everyone's drive like to Springfield? 30-40 minutes for us with light traffic.

30 minutes here. We usually hit Springfield every weekend for tea and Trader Joes.

It’s been pretty hectic for me. This weekend and the next is pretty jam packed. How does everyone’s schedule look on the 28th?

I could probably commit to morning coffee on the 28th. We might be doing a Halloween party thing that night, so just available in morning.
