Here is a message from one of our Sierra Foothills Members Rob Willson;

"Hey Kent, got a buddy who sells offroad trailers looking for some help getting a unit to Overland Expo in Bend this week. I would do it but have a busy week.
Anyone in the group thinking about heading up there and willing to tow a 3500# trailer?
Here’s his offer:

I realize this is short notice. I'm looking for someone to tow one of my offroad trailers up to Bend OR next week. I have a booth at Overland Expo PNW in Bend from 6/26 - 6/30. I will cover all food, gas, camping, and admission to the Expo.

Trailer: Offroad Caravans | BUSH LAPA OFFROAD CARAVANS | South Africa

Rob Willsons phone number (510) 882-1426

14 people in attendance Tuesday.

Gary and Chris talked about their NV trip.

I haven't heard back about the status of having Mike Barr doing erosion control at the culvert site in Long Canyon.

Excellent presentation by Mike & Deb Lee. With a lot of information about their travels to Central America.

As some of you know, the frame on my Gladiator was bent and is now fixed, I am trying to find eight people to help put our OVRLND camper back on the truck.

I was thinking about next Saturday or Sunday around 0900-1000 hrs at our house in El Dorado next to Placerville. August 3 or 4

Thanks to eight awesome members, the camper is on 2x4’s sitting on saw horses. If we can get eight members again it will make lifting the camper back onto the Gladiator very easy and it shouldn’t take more than 15 min to get it done. (I'll have coffee and apple donuts from Apple Hill on hand.)

If you can help out please reply to this or text me.
