Let's get together.

We'll have a 30 minute arrival window / show rigs.

9:30-10am arrival window.
9:55am we'll walk over to a brunch spot. To discuss gear, trail learnings, trip planning, mods, future trips? life.
After - more rig time

Location TBD, will change if there's interest

Note: if you're new to this and don't have much to discuss about your set up, we'd still love to meet you and learn about how overlanding/vehicle-based adventure fits into your world.

Hey ya'll, in the area for a few weeks and thought I'd see if there's community potential here. I'll solidify a location once I see a few folks are open to it. Thanks! Looking forward to meeting some folks.

@zgfiredude rad! I can look for brunch spots (open to suggestions too, a table + good parking spot is normally my vibe). I have a few leads.

I also host something in Salt Lake City a few times a year and we get about 20-25 folks. I'd be game if a few people can make it. I noticed a like from @LRO and @Neal A. Tew – not sure if they're local though. The notifications may have blasted farther than some folks would travel to. We'll see! Appreciate you chiming in.

I've got my notifications set up so that I receive a push when any event is created.

The front range of Colorado has a pretty active group although it primarily communicates via Telegram now.

Thanks Neal! Is there a link for the group by any chance?

Matthew, I’m interested in coming down there with my wife. I’m a little confused on what the location is. My 4 x 4 just gave out and I have to take it into the shop to get it fixed. So I won’t be going on any trails, but I don’t think that was the intent on this event. I haven’t even opened this app in a couple years. So, thanks for reaching out. 9:30 AM to 1 PM what’s the location?
Gratefully, Bruce

Hey @zgfiredude and @Reesnick - and perhaps anyone else that sees this - I'm going to scope out a spot this afternoon for brunch, I'll update the location on this thread tomorrow.

And @Reesnick , the location isn't solidified yet, didn't know how many folks were active in this area. Looks like enough interest for me! Correct, this isn't a trail run, just a rigs and brunch to meet locals.

Looking forward to meetin' ya'll.
