Is there a mjr get together monthly ?

[blackZZR]

I like this idea - especially if it's still wet out there still. Then no one is rushed, and can stay and enjoy everyone's company. Maybe a run once it warms up a little?

Saturday is good. Which one?

I like meet and greets as they are nice to meet faces you post with, kinda explore every ones rigs,, have a good meal and just hang out. You get to little time to do that on trail and at AAT events.
I think a restaurant in a larger parking lot would be great as it leaves us he ability to park remote and if we are out wandering the parking lot we do not arouse a lot of interest in what we are doing.
Saturdays work best for me, the limited amount I have this year, Need to get in a few courses for a license renewal.

The discussion has been of having a regular to semi-regular High Desert meetup.

We can surely do another in the Inland Empire like last year's Bass Pro Shop M'N'G but I'd like to wait until the weather stabilizes a bit to warm. IIRC last year was chilly and dreary.

For Feb Rick and I seem to have all day Sunday the 15th and Saturday the 21st clear.
For mid-day afternoon, we have Saturday the 7th, Saturday the 14th and maybe Sunday the 22nd.

Sarah, ok lets get this thing going and set a date ,I like Saturdays ,if it turns out to be a all-day thing Meet n Greet ,eat and jeep ,it will be easier on everyone if it turns out to be a later jeep run,and if there is anyone that turns out from far away they can have time to head back or stay the night if needed .So I guess what Im trying to say is Febuary 21 sounds good.So if they rest of you jeep-oholics agree lets set this in stone and make it happen . there thats my .02 worth

Very True

Sarah,

Saturday the 21st works for me. I think the idea for alternating locations is perfect. I think a lot of people will come to the high desert if a trail run is included. And from the posts it seems that we have a ton of members that live up here.

[sarah]

Ok, 21st it is! How about......

[1] Maxwell's Cafe at HWY 18 and Apple Valley Road? Would be a good location for those coming from the freeway.

[2] Johnny D's at Apple Valley and Bear Valley? Big parking lot, good sized restaurant. Good prices, friendly staff.

Other ideas?

MAxwells is a good place ,good food (breakfastand lunch),large parking lot,and you are right is is easy to get to and its not that crowded.Ok we got a date and a place ,now what time of the day are we talking about ?(early morning ,mid morning or ?)

[Mitch]

Saturday 2-21-09 at Maxwells! Depending on the meeting time, if anyone wants to do an easy mine exploring run before or after let me know. There is an area within 5 miles of the restuarant that has a dozen different mines.

[Mitch]

Maxwells is not bad, . like Sarah said, good for those coming from down the hill. I myself was thinking of early evening so if people that come up want to do a run then they can do a run that day and then the meet and greet that evening. Either way no matter what time I will be there and I frequent Maxwells all the time and from an exterminators point of view I have done an inspection in the kitchen and it is "pest free" for those that care about such things (knowing what I know,.. I do) like I said, no matter what time im game.

[sarah]

Ha ha, I'm glad they're pest free! My thoughts are if we meet first and then go on a trail run, that would work best. Then, if something happens on the trail, at least that part of the group won't miss the party. 11AM good? I can call Maxwell's and give them some notice.
