October 2016 CSC Meet
Author: Rich @Otter
INTRODUCTION OF FIRST TIME GUESTS / NEW MEMBERS
Uzi (no Mud name yet) made his second appearance at a meeting with his 1991 FJ80 (his first appearance was in 2013, Welcome back!) Uzi also signed up for membership at the meeting.
Jason @BoxYourEars is a new member/first-timer with his 1996 grey FZJ80.
Chris @Rollins86 is a new member/first-timer with his 1996 green FZJ80.
ROTM
Run Of The Month series is for everyone to get out with their trucks, regardless of skill level, so everyone can learn how to wheel safely. No one wants to see someone damage their truck. Don't be shy about volunteering to lead a monthly run. You get to pick the date and the location (you can get plenty of ideas for trail rides from other members). There are several members with lots of knowledge about local trails and can offer assistance on leading the group on the day of the run.
October ROTM - Brice @brices123 see trip report here October ROTM - Casner Trail & Camping
November ROTM - Steve @Saddletramp and Abigail @Abigail are co-leading a trip to Bartlett Lake. Steve is leading a group via Log Corral. Log Corral is a more difficult run which requires 35 inch tires, lockers, and the acceptance of the risk of body damage. Abigail will bring a group in on 393. The groups will camp near the lake and leave out on 393 the next morning. Check the thread for details - November ROTM w/camping FR393 to Bartlett Lake/Log Corral to Bartlett Lake
December ROTM - given the holidays, December runs are a Wild Card. Keep an eye on the forum.
January ROTM - Brent @coldbeerbrent volunteered to lead this run.
February ROTM - Steve @Saddletramp volunteered to lead another run. Destination is TBA.
March ROTM - Ron @Dimples will lead this run. Destination is TBA.
Keep an eye on the forum for dates and threads for these runs.
If you lead a ROTM, here's a good template for your trip reports - CSC Trip Report template
ROTM POTLUCKS
A precedent has been set the last couple of ROTMs. There have been some amazing potlucks on the camping nights. Let's keep this going. Volunteer to bring something. Let's keep these somewhat organized. No one wants to take 100 extra flour tortillas home.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS
December CSC Meeting - Last year, Camelback Toyota sponsored a CSC show and shine event. It was a huge success. Eric @murf created a thread for this year's event. Check the thread for details - CSC December meeting Sat 12-03-16 Show n' Shine @ CBT
Thomas @LongDuck is going to look further into CSC adopting the trail going the back way to Mt. Ord. Tonto NF may be changing their policy regarding trail adoptions, so we might be able to adopt this trail.
