Hey all, I am newer to the community and to the DFW area. I have seen there is a ton of members in the area but not much being planned for meetups. I know there is a meetups around Georgetown and Littlerock a few hours away once a month but i was wondering if there was anything were people get together more local to the aria.

To be honest, I have not done much since moving to the area other then work and could use a chance to get out and meet people and explore a little.

@Tom Cole hosted a lot of the Dallas/Ft Worth meet ups last year, hopefully there will be more this year and perhaps someone else can step up to help as well.

I think Tom got busy and forgot to post the new rally point.

Looks like there’s some options for DFW on 2/11/23. There will be a rigs and coffee at Cabela’s in Plano in the morning and dinner at Boo Rays in Weatherford in the evening.

Thank you all for the information. I was able to make it out to the dinner in Weatherford and had a great time. It was awesome to meet people in the area and get out of the house for once. I look forward to building up my rig and getting out there on some adventures with the people I met.

Glad you could join us; it was great meeting you and checking out your rig. We're planning another meetup in March as well as a Saturday out to Bridgeport Offroad Park.
