OK folks, there's been no more input so here's what I'm thinking. I've not been to Beamers or Parkway so we'll start at Mission BBQ and we can move it for subsequent meetings if we want to.

Sunday January 20th at 3pm at the Mission BBQ in Roanoke, Va at Towers Mall.

That should be after the lunch rush but before the supper one.

If that works for most everyone, I'll put up a Rally Point this weekend and I'll see ya'll then!
I would go with it. Its easier to schedule around it. I'll see ya'll there! P.s. anyone going on the overland history new years ride?

I'm not going to make the OH ride this year. I lucked out and was off New Year's Eve last year but I'll be working this go round. I expect it'll be a good time though.

Sounds like a plan

So as a recap, mission bbq at towers mall on the 20th st 3pm. This is a strip mall set up so parking can be wide open or none at all. Can we get a ballpark on attendance? Even if it's a maybe. I can swing by to talk to them and maybe rope off a few spots.

With it being so cold, we'll probably go in if it's not too crowded. We can try to get one of the bigger tables in the center.

I had planned outside and in. I love looking at everyone's toys and set up! Gives me ideas
Oh yeah, there will definitely be some tire kicking. If the weather was warmer, I had planned on doing it tailgate style. We'll figure it out!

Hey guys-

It was great meeting everyone this afternoon.
I think Mike may have mentioned a weekend camping trip where we could learn from each other (HAM, First Aid etc.) and I think that would be a great idea....just not sure what I could contribute except my experience with InReach or something like that...either way we're in!

Great meeting you guys! I've updated the Rally Point for next month! Hope everyone can make it out again. Maybe we'll get some warmer weather and we can do some more tire kicking without our toes freezing.

Agreed! If anyone is planning to do a quick and easy overnight somewhere let me know! I'm always up for it.

I'll be doing some trips this spring and summer I'm hoping. I really want to make it down to Linville Gorge for a weekend and possibly over to Seneca Rocks as well.

Got a couple weeks before the next meetup. Looking forward to getting together again. Maybe it'll be warmer and we can try to get a group photo with the rigs this time.
