Welcome. Nice 3rd Gen.

Bumping this post to remind everyone that our meeting next week will be outdoors at a new, quiet location. If you can make it, please attend this meeting to check out the park. Maybe it will be a great new place to meet for the club.

Welcome.

Reachout to me at the meeting I'll be happy to explain the process of joining.

Just an FYI, I took my dogs for a run at the park today and the grills are covered and taged with do not use the grill signs because of the stage 2 fire ban. So you can only use your propane stoves or jet boils or anything that turns off with a switch or nob.

 

[Hulk]

That's good info, thanks for sharing it!

 

[what now I broke it]

No problem.

 

[chacou]

I’m not gonna make it tonight.

 

[timmbuck2]

Thanks again Matt! I thought it was a great place for the meeting.

 

[what now I broke it]

Thanks for the cool get together. I dig the vibe and really like and appreciate the whole trail stewardship y'all have going on. I'm also big fan of "leave it better than you found it" when it comes to the forest and such.

Thanks for the tool bag too. Mine is falling apart and not big enough for all my tools. So that's going to be clutch.
Whoever donated them, super big thank you!

Which one did you get? We had some rare 2018 Cruise Moab tool bags + some kick-ass gear bags from Adventure Tool Company, courtesy of @BritKLR.

 

[timmbuck2]

I would trade for or buy the classic cm tool bag! Who got it?

 

[what now I broke it]

I just grabbed one and got the 2018 CM bag.
I didn't know it was rare. I just really needed a tool bag.

Edit, I'm more than willing to trade for a bag of equal size and condition.

 

[timmbuck2]

I'll dm ya!
