I'll be bringing beer. If some were brought, I'd be interested in local micros, something hard to get outside the local area. Always nice to experiment. Definitely save $ if you can though.

I was thinking..(not always a good idea but).. Since we are arriving at camp so early on Friday, I think it would be really cool if we did some type of informal classes or presentations. I would love to learn more about first aid from an emt/ paramedic, learn about solar panels for our rigs, using high lift jack, navigating with a compass etc. Im not even sure if there are things planned for Friday but just a thought.
What about a swap meet? Patches, spare parts, tools, etc. maybe better for another time. Would be cool though. I always need something (according to my better half).

I can demonstrate how to use a highlift and walk people though the solar setup on my truck or trailer.
Yes!! I would also really like that. So far you have two students who are ready! If more people volunteer to teach , we could make a schedule after the time we get there and set up and dinner.

I like a swap meet idea. Maybe for small stuff and swag. I imagine most folks will be pretty packed. Hmmmmm annual OB swap meet/rig show& BBQ for the bigger stuff?

And I'd like to see that hi lift demo as well.

That would be fun.

Lets do a swap meet too ! I have some stuff that i would rather hook up OB members than ebay. Lets see how this pans out with the Norcal crew then propose it the other caravans especially if we have more 'teachers' willing to volunteer.

I have been trying to get a hold of Mike or Corrie for the form to fill out once you pay, but Mike did say that if i payed i'm good. This means , i don't have a schedule of events, if there is one. If we do get more teachers we can create a schedule of who is doing what when .

Man this sounds and by the looks of it going to be an awesome fun trip. I'm a newbie to the overland scene and live in FL but I promise I'll make it out to one of these convoys with the wifey and boys to meet up with you all, explore, and have a good time. You all have fun and be safe out their. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji482][emoji482]

For me I was thinking we can all meet up in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Madera, CA. There we can buy supplies, get gas and coffee. Here's the route I was thinking of taking. I've taken this route before and it's a quick way to get to Shaver Lake. Meet up time would be 9:30-10:00am Friday Sept 23rd.

If the plan is to meetup at the walmart in Madera at 9:30. count me in.
