I have a pop up and a pot of hot chocolate

 

[Fireskyte]

So won’t be able to make the Saturday 2/11 meet. Previous plans scheduled.

 

[EwingJK]

I'm looking forward to the Feb. 11th meet at Pleasant Hill Park. This will be my first meet since joining OB. I hope to make connections with local members. The Trailblazer is going to be upgraded with a steel bumper, winch, 3" suspension lift, 2"body lift, 4.10:1 front diff gears (rear G80 already has 4.10 gears), rear steel bumper with swingout tire carrier, 285/75R-16s and several other mods to get it ready for overlanding. Most of the equipment is delivered to my brother-in-laws in Oregon. He has a nice shop with a car lift. Planning on leaving on Feb. 17th and staying for a couple of weeks for intensive wrenching.

Just a heads up - I believe the Feb. 11th meetup is at the Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park staging area. With the dates and things being moved around it’s made it a little confusing (even on the rally point) - but someone correct me if I’m wrong?

Let me know if you’re selling one!

John, looking forward to meet you

So being a newbie, what do I need to know about the meet? Is it a potluck type of gathering? Will there be demonstrations or discussions about equipment or adventures? Looking forward to meeting you.

John, just show up nothing to bring other than questions you may have - we usually have a topic to discuss but they are always changing .

 

[TrailHawkGuy]

Fellows,

quick reminder that our upcoming meetup this weekend is one day early on Saturday (NOT Sunday - due to Superball). - SPECIAL EastBay Meetup – (ON SAT FEB 11 – NO FEB 12 Meet due to Superbowl)

Plan is to meet at our usual spot in Pleasanton Ridgepark. However be aware of the local road closure (see previous) @Llama Paul is checking access options - we'll post here if we need to change location last minute.

Topic of the day will be:

- Trips
- Recovery Gear Usage - Best Practises

I hope this will be a lively discussion and we can learn from each other. I know we have some "experts" .

Looking forward to see many of you.

Armin
