Would November 5th work for people? I know it's a NASA weekend at Summit so if that's a conflict for people we can figure something else out.
November 5th is out for us, Rexy works that weekend, and I have prior commitments.

I know a few wanted to go do the Kart enduro with NASA MA but not sure how many of those were off roader's anyways

Maybe plan this for the spring? Nicer weather and we can work it around racing weekends. Just an idea...
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Cody - 10-10-2011
We have a couple down weekends in October. What would you all think of the 22nd as an option?
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - V1GiLaNtE - 10-12-2011
^ Pretty sure me and Heep are game for that weekend..

well i'm helping build the course... i should be there to make sure it doesnt break.
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Cody - 10-12-2011
I may have misread you there Kaan, do you mean you'll be there as in Manassas or there as in Shoe Creek? I posted thinking it lined up and you'd be able to hit up shoe creek with us. I confuzed
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Kaan - 10-12-2011
i'm helping build/rebuild the skills course at Manassas Jeep. i'll be with the NOVA Jeepers making sure nothing breaks. its been on my calendar for months now.

What if we did the camping the 22nd and trailing the morning of the 23rd?

We are out, Rex works that weekend. Unfortunately, for most of the alumni, our weekends get filled pretty quickly, so we are unable to make plans like these a week and a half out. Perhaps if you planned ahead, we'd be able to put something together.
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - JPolen01 - 10-12-2011
Chiming in again with a spring idea. Better weather, more time to plan, etc.

This is a new idea for the club so it has to fit around our big events and current members aren't interested in camping later in November/ December. We'll do this regardless to run it through as a first time thing and hopefully we can build on something in the Spring that is possible to plan out with a lot more notice.
It's only a one night thing only an hour drive away so it's very feasible for us to do as a club.

Understood, but Julie makes a good point. Us alums like to be (and want to be) involved and attending stuff, but don't be surprised if we can't make these short-notice events. Hell, my October has been planned out for a while now. I understand that college schedules are more open and friendly to random stuff (I was uh, just there) but this is something where if you wanted alums to attend on say, the 22nd, you should have had a date picked in early September after looking at NASA/BRR stuff.

Unless my phone is wrong, this thread didn't go up until Oct 05 and first real talk to members didn't occur until the meeting the night of the 5th.

Let me rephrase this... This is one of those, let's go type events. If you can make it, awesome! If not, see you in the spring where there will be plenty of notice and we can get a large crowd to attend. I'm simply offering an event on a down weekend for who ever is game, I know we'll have fun.
Jake- Yeah I understand that, this is just a spur of the moment thing. The idea has been tossed around but no solid plans were ever made so now we're looking to solidify everything. Looking forward to the spring too, should be fun
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - JPolen01 - 10-14-2011
Can't make the 22nd
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - premiershine9 - 10-16-2011
Looks like my heep will be out of commission for a few weeks- power steering gear box is shot and i'm not about to have it shit out on me midway through a trail run.
Lets do another event in the spring!
Re: Off road adventure anyone? - Cody - 10-16-2011
Dan- Sorry to hear that. I'd make the same choice if I were in your shoes haha
I just had an event I have to work moved on me from Friday to Saturday so looks like I'm not good either... We'll have a grand 4x4 adventure in the Spring which will be well worth the wait.
