Dave, great list. I saw that Jul 8-10 is the expo in PNW - this maybe an option as well with some exploring going up or coming back

Everyone who went on the East Bay Death Valley adventure should check out some of the latest YouTube videos from JonDZ Adventuring. It turns out his group ran Goler Canyon and Mengel Pass the day after Dave’s group ran the same route. What is even crazier, his group ran Titus Canyon the same day both of our groups did. In fact, Armin‘s group is somewhat featured in Jon’s Death Valley Titus Canyon Video.

….and good to see I made the blooper real with the quick deploying rooftop tent! Ugh! Like the man said, it was great to have friends, who helped to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Good times!

We are meeting this Sunday 1-3pm and we will be discussing hard-wired electric systems and options in our vehicles. Sean @AzzyRnr will be presenting on his 4Runner build and his decision processes to wire up a good solution for him. Though not an electrician by trade he’s done a stellar job, makes me not want to lift my hood in “rats-nest-wiring” shame. Haha

See you Sunday!

It is a long hike for me from Hollister but planning to attend.

We’re not going to make it today after all. It’s Karen’s birthday today and she is going to be glued to the Steelers game and likely Big Ben’s last game…I’m pretty sure a bomb going off wouldn’t budge her an inch . Looking forward to the next meeting and trip. Best to all!

Great meet up today! Thanks everyone for coming out! And a special thanks to Sean @AzzyRnr for his job presenting on hard-wired electrical systems for our rigs. I am really excited for the year to come and the plans we have in the works.
