Meet-up in Fresno with the hope of starting a reoccurring event that might have the following components;

1. Rig walk arounds learning from each other.
2. Education component, either some sort of presentation or actual hands on learning; tire repair, recovery, and so on.
3. Trail runs with a concentration on Comms/Nav training and practice. Trying to get everyone very proficient with both. And support the use of Ham and or GMRS in the Overland Bound West Region as a standard.
4. Have the meet-up on the same day and time of the month so people can plan on attending in advance.

All meet-up's are different it depends on the members wishes so come on out and lets talk overlanding.

I will be camping at the beach that weekend. I'd love to do another meet up. Sometimes when the schedule opens for a trip, you just have to do it. Hope you all have a good time. Until next time.

Any updates on the next central valley meet up? With my job I need plenty of notice to make it so I am checking in.
Just spit balling here. How about every 3rd Sunday of the month around 2-4 pm. leave Saturday for the family and Sunday morning for church people and after that is OB time. People can get their rigs ready on Saturday for the drive on Sunday. There's my 1.275 cents

Would love to know when the next Fresno Meetup is. Haven't been on here in awhile and didn't see the last one. I'm local to Fresno and will definitely attend if I don't have to work.
