Thanks for the inquiry. There are quite a number of OB members in this part of the Region but there doesn't seem to much of a connection between us so because I would like to get to know some of the "local" members I want to have a meet up to see if there is any interest. I think there is value in building a community of members here in Southern Oregon for building friendships, working together, and camping together. This would, in turn, build the overall OB world wide community. Hope you will consider this.

The meetup is a great idea. I'm looking for another OB person to drive their setup and camp up to Alaska starting May 5. Leaving Montana to see Glacier Park, but I'm in Oregon

I understand that you are in the State of Jefferson aka, Nothern California, possibly including some of Oregon. I wanted to include those in NorCal as well if any were too far away from the Nor Cal OB region, and, they, yourself for instance, would like to be involved. I debated putting Southern Oregon/Northern California on the RP header but knew the invites would reach into California so left it the way you see it You're surely welcome.

I should be able to attend, if so, it would be 1 or 2 most likely.
Hi Chad, thanks for responding. When I was looking at the Member map I saw some from Roseberg and wanted to reach out and hoped some would come. Looking forward to meeting you.
