Thanks to everyone that showed up in the heat last night, and special thanks to Cris Steller for opening up Dry Digging Distillery tasting room so we could be in AC.

Aaron Copland from Thunder Box gave a great talk about the importance of using a portable toilet system when off road.

Info on the September Crawdad trip to come out next week.

Overland Bounds Mojave Trail Guardian Rally Point will come out by the end of August, I will send another email to SFO with the exact date and time for RSVP. (This fills up fast with members from throughout the west)

For your viewing enjoyment here is Michaels video from our first Death Valley Trail Guardian, the one two weeks later was not filmed. Strong work by all involved.

Annual Crawdad Boil at Richardson Lake.

This is a traditional southern boil. We will have two batches, one milder than the traditional spicy. The dinner will be Saturday, September 17, 2022; approximately 1600 hrs.
Menu; Crawdads, andouille sausage, crab, corn and more. The rest of the fixins will be brought by Chef Klinton Kehoe. All the crawdads are caught in Richardson Lake between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, using traps provided by Tom White.


Richardson is just off the Mckinney Rubicon Trail. OB rating of 3, GPX file to be provided to those to RSVP they are coming.

A Total of 20 rigs will be allowed. You will need to provide your own meals, except for the crawdad dinner. RSVP by email SierraFoothillsOverlanders@gmail.com with the total number of people. We need an accurate RSVP in order to get the correct amount of crab. The cost at the last boil was $10/person, this year's cost will probably be a bit higher. Please bring cash.

Camp is next to Richardson Lake, this dispersed camping area is also used by hikers traveling the Pacific Crest Trail. We need to get a good number of rigs up to the lake on Thursday September 15 to reserve enough space for everyone. Dave Dingal will coordinate the caravan up to the lake.

Date: September 16-18
Cost: TBD
Location: Richardson Lake 39.02409983721315, -120.21155356678034
