Hey guys, newbie here. I'm gonna try to make It down to the next meet. What time do you usually head down there?

I work until 9, so I'll be a little late. see you on Thursday.

Forecast is showing a high of 13 and sunny... a beautiful spring day!

I'll try to be there for 7pm in the parking lot if anyone wants to come a bit early and talk rigs before we move it inside.

 

[Winterpeg]

For the next meet I would like to have it outside somewhere and have a hot dog roast or something similar.

If anyone has any ideas on where to go we can discuss that on Thursday.

What about a picnic area in Assiniboine Park? It’s a fantastic idea! We will likely not be there for that meetup since we’ll be on our first big road trip of the year.

Tonight is Game 7 for the Jets (Go Jets Go!).

If it's too busy at Pony Corral I can host in my garage (heated) and stream the game onto the TV there....
as well as shoot the crap with y'all about Overlanding :D

 

[bushnut]

either way works for me. I'll see ya'll in the parking lot.

We're parked behind the Mosaic event centre.
We have a few long tables and a few of us are inside already to ensure we keep those tables.

I'm hanging outside until MixedNuts gets here.
I hear he has a nice rack I want to check out. Lol

That was a hell of a rack @MixedNuts :D

Good night! Very nice to meet new friends and spend time with fellow Overlanders!

See you guys in July!

Drive safe you guys!


Great turnout!

 

[Bakon]

It was great to meet the group last night! Feels alot less of a typical "car club" and alot more like a bunch of friends sharing their passion for overlanding. Looking forward to that next bbq meet!

We'll have to wait a bit for the fire bans to be lifted. I'm just digging around various sites to check out whether Birds Hill is on the fire ban or not. Since it's a Provincial Park it may have different restrictions.

 

[bushnut]

If not Birds hill we could try La Barrier Park off of waverly along the La Salle river, super nice spot. or Beaudry park west of headingly.
I do vote for a Saturday after noon rather than a weekday evening. I've also been interested in checking out the Transcona BioReserve off of Gunn Rd.

 

[Winterpeg]

My thoughts on location would be a quiet area... large parking lot... and a firepit of some sorts.

Worst case scenario regarding the fire bans would be me bringing my portable bbq... I would rather not though ;)

Just because I like a fire :D
