Off-topic, but…

Is anyone interested in a co-op car trailer?
Realizing after my trip to Moab that towing an off-roader on a 7-10 day trip (maybe) twice each year is really expensive to rent (for low actual-use hours) but hardly enough to justify owning one outright… and I’m past the point of wearing out friends with favors. I figure if several of us owned one together, it may get used enough to be justified and the shared cost would be very low to purchase + maintain + store.

Bueller?
Bueller?

I’ll be at the meeting tonight if anyone wants to brainstorm.

Last nights Sierra Foothills meet-up was a lot of fun and informative. Got some dates scheduled for trips, and had a lengthy conversation about what tools everyone brings with them on the trail. It was a huge bonus to have a certified Toyota Tech at the meeting.
Next month's meeting will be some sort of BBQ, I don't have any specifics yet but I will post as soon as we get it figured out.
Some trips scheduled to this point;

• Coyote Flats, last weekend in July Rally Point to be published late this week
• Crawdad Boil at Richardson Lake, September 17-18
• Cowboy Country NV, late September date TBA,
• Usal Beach, first weekend in October,
• October 15, Overland Bound Mojave Preserve Trail Guardian
• November 3-7, Death Valley NP

Hopefully more trips to be planned.
