US West Sierra Foothills Overlanders Monthly OLB meet-up/meeting.

SIERRA FOOTHILLS OVERLANDERS CRAWDAD BOIL

September 22-24, Richardson Lake west of Tahoma, off the McKinney/Rubicon Trail.
Trail rating is a medium 1, camp is at 39.02452, -120.21210; 15 rig maximum. RSVP must include how many members will be eating at communal dinner Saturday Sept 23 afternoon.
Chief Klinton Kehoe will cook up two batches, one hot and one medium.
Cost is dependent on the price of crab, sausage, corn & potatoes. Each member eating will split this cost at the time of the feed. (I'm guessing it would be between $10-$15-person.)
We need several rigs to go up a few days early and take over the spot at the north end of the lake. In the past Dave Dingal has organized this.
Starting Friday we will be trapping crawdads using 10 traps provided by Tom White. This is a great kids’ project that Kent will organize Friday afternoon. Please bring some chicken or hotdogs for bait. (We only use bait that we would eat.)

RSVP, first 15 rigs not including the three organizers. Kent, Klinton & Dave.
