I'm happy to teach the "Trip prep" section. I was hoping Davy could teach about Cold Wather Camping. I believe Stephen was going to do the History of offroading. Did we get ahold of Curt to do the tread lightly training? I think that was going to be the majority of the time. I'll dig up my notes where I wrote down who we had in mind for each.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Updated the post. I've got my notes here too, I'll continue to refresh the post with updates as I get them.

Davey & Curt, you guys reading this? That going to work for you?

Stephen offered to cook.

I did. Does someone have a large three burner stove or anything that we can use?

I have a two burner Camp Chef, but no griddle (that could be rectified, though)

This is what I've sent to the Land Use groups:

Hello,

Rocky Mountain Extreme (rme4x4.com) is will be holding its third Introduction to 4-Wheeling event January 20th – 21st at the Miller Motorsports Park in Grantsville, UT. As part of this event we are planning to include various Land Use organizations and we were hoping that __________________ might want to participate.

We are anticipating at least 30 people attending and going through various classes on how to properly use their vehicles off-road. We will be having one class about land use, what it is and what organizations are out there for them to get involved with. That’s where __________________ comes in. You’d have an opportunity to present what __________________ does and what benefits these users have in seeing you succeed.

If this sounds like something __________________ would be interested in, please let us know by January 5th so we can get you on the agenda. And of course, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I've sent it to:

Del Albright at BRC
Mike Swenson at USA-All
Monica ? at Tread Lightly!

 

[sixstringsteve]

great work stephen!

 

[SAMI]

"RME is will be"?

 

[Stephen]

Typo. They happen at 10:30pm.

 

[jackjoh]

If you still need a stove I have an old 3 burner Coleman that works on propane or white gas. Can not find the griddle or stand.

 

[jackjoh]

I have put together a 20 minute talk that could be shortened to 15 or extended to 45. Let me know what is preferred.

Davey & Curt, you guys reading this? That going to work for you?

I am unavailable for a number of reasons, I am sorry. I won't have much time until after February. But, and this is just a thought, it might be a good opportunity for Justin Lilly, Treadlightly's new Education and Stewardship Programs Manager, to get out and meet the folks. You could invite him to come help.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Justin is a great chap we better network with him sooner than later as I know he is busy. He knows about our January class, let's shoot for him.
