Good Evening to all,

Next week is our scheduled meeting, I would like to recommend that we do a in person meeting in the parking lot. See Rally Point for location. Please follow all safety protocols. I will add a zoom invite for those who choose not to attend but want to be involved.

Meeting time 7:00PM, I will be at the north side of Best Buy facing the freeway. Bring your ideas on where you would like to go and explore this year.

Hope to see you there.

Can't make the meeting as I'm leaving for El Camino Del Diablo on Friday.
However, if there is interest I'd like to run Henness Pass Road in the spring, and possibly a longer trip through Nevada (Black Rock Desert?) after that.

If anyone needs the zoom information for tomorrow’s meeting please shoot me a message. If the group is small enough we might try and support Steve’s Pizza which is next door to Best Buy. Which is the normal meeting place for us before COVID hit.

Has anyone run Walker Ridge Rd near Williams? Says it is 14.5 miles long. Anyone know of any connecting trails so it would be worth drive there for the day. Who would be willing to run it?

Finally found my (local) people! Hey y'all, I'm originally from Sac / Elk Grove (down the street from that Best Buy in fact), now up towards EDH.

Hope to make the next Zoom meet, I'll take an add to the list @Offroadtails.

Planning to try and get out to Strawberry Creek Barn with my friend out here, have a lot of trail hunting to do this year!
