Well...I sat at the bar for about 30 minutes, scanning for printed t shirts...didn’t see anything, so I drank my POG Weiss beer and split.
Kinda felt like an overland blind date (is that an OB member???) and didn’t feel like approaching strangers...maybe if I had had a second beer?
Anywhoo...saw these two rigs (no OB emblems) and snapped a couple shots.
Maybe next month I’ll have that second beer.

Lol...well yeah, but still, what does an OB member look like above a "Wits End" t-shirt? And I wasn't comfortable enough to just stare at a guys t-shirt trying to figure out "Is that them?"
Maybe next time an OB flag on the bar...or meet up in the parking lot...or maybe I shoulda posted up "I'm the caucasion guy with the white beard, plaid shirt, Yakima hat, Oakley glasses, and hiking boots on???"
I know meet n' greets are casual affairs...so might be tough to zero in on the best format since we all seemed to show up at different times etc.
Yeah I just bought the OB mini flag so hopefully we can be more easily spotted. Meeting in the parking lot sounds good too. Although we got there pretty early and beer was calling my name...
I read through this thread...some good stuff here on meet ups/organization of regional groups:

I am down for May 31st. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it last time, but I will be there for the next one fo' sure. Also, since we all from the SD area and surroundings. I am planning a trip to La Paz BCS stopping on different bays, beaches, and towns to camp. The plan is to make two nights and three days to get there, then spent two nights and three days at La Paz BCS, and after that, another two nights and three days coming back, obviously camping on different spots. My family and I are leaving town on July 4th planning to come back on the 11th. You guys are welcome to join if you are interested. I am not planning to make this a rally point but at least I am letting you know.
Any recommendations for places to stop camp or just to drive by?
