Alright folks! August 23-25 we are hosting Bay to Blue Ridge for a weekend of wheeling and camping. We will be camping out on the usual creek property, and when we get closer to the date I’ll make sure everyone has the specific location. Jesse King will be the POC for this event, and I’ll be helping him as needed.
Even if you don’t want to do Potts, you are more than welcome and encouraged to still come and camp. There are plenty of cool FSRs/routes in the area that others can do if they so choose. If we have enough interest we can put a crew together to do Broad Run and other easy routes.
Just trying to gauge interest in things such as a group dinner Saturday night and raffle. Our last meeting we had a successful raffle, giving away two ARB recovery kits as well as growing the club slush fund. Things like this will help us grow to help give away cooler and bigger prizes. 50/50 raffle? Raffle off an actual piece of equipment/item? Let’s hear it.
If you want to float in the creek by all means, we are right on the water with a decent swimming hole right there. I’ll have a paddle board out for it!
 
After seven years in hibernation, Comet may be out to play and provide kitchen duties. Started up today at the mechanics. Travels home next weekend to get some love.

I hope you’ve got the AAA towing package?!?!? I’d be broke if I didn’t…since it’s the only way some of my vehicles can hit 25mph.
 
@Unimogguy you know it. This was last week. Brian is the Fire Marshal in Salem or Roanoke County. Real nice guy. I enjoyed that his ac was working too.

@LandSnoozer93 I’d like to see that bumper if it’s the one I remember. I in don’t need no stinkin’ swing outs though. 🤣
 
No fly for Comet (1997 80 series in hibernation) due to wicked ticking that follows idle. Trailering home at a later date to start the arduous process of figuring out what’s wrong. Was gifted a 1FZ-FE engine with almost as many miles so there’s spare parts.
 
Jesse will be out of pocket for awhile so I’ll be running with the planning. I’ll be posting in the Facebook group and creating an event, however the location info won’t be posted there so we can screen people. I’m all for new people coming, I just want us to not open the floodgates up on it to the randoms of Virginia haha

Courtland involves some reciprocity on location. Beach to the Mountains.
 
At least myself and @1UZJ80N60. Dk about ladies and his kids. His lady has her own rig mine rides shotgun. We only have like 10 active people. We might could gather six rigs. Ryan and I are gonna have a meeting 1st week of August. Not sure who all would be interested in Actually leaving the parking lot
