Please use this thread as the discussion and coordination point.

Does June 6 or 13 work for you?

Please add people I have missed. I hope the SoCal/AZ/PNW people can make it too!

[Troy]

would it be wrong to schedule a work trip to HQ just to get up there for this? =D

[Cuda Dan]

My first choice is 6-6. Thanks for kicking it off PBE Gummy Bear!

[argentflame]

Either day is fine for me.

[dazzo]

Looks like the 6th may be best for me. I think I'm down in Carlsbad on the 13th w/e.

[1buckie]

Have to see......STILL looking for that ever-elusive burger-flippin' job......

No.

[austin87]

6th is preferable but I can also do the 13th... Lemme know!

[austin87]

Will bring: medium vortex, 18" OTG, and grub TBD

@dazzo since you might be down this way, you are more than welcome to stop by, if you have the time.

[pbe gummi bear]

So far it seems like the 6th would be good.

Where can we host this one?

[austin87]

Anyone ever been to the Lafayette Reservoir? https://www.ebmud.com/store/lafayette-reservoir-picnic-reservation

There are first come/first serve tables that don't cost a reservation fee - unless we think we'll have enough to reserve a small site ($200) and make the cost per person low enough. I don't recall exactly how far the parking lot is from the picnic area (maybe a 5-10 minute walk) but I don't think we can drive right up.

Any other ideas?

[austin87]

@pbe gummi bear it's booked up basically every weekend in June and July so we can't reserve a spot, but could always opt for first come/first serve.

[pbe gummi bear]

That looks like it would work. Lafayette is a little closer to where @mirkwood @1buckie @Winz are. Are you guys planning to make it down if we do Jun 6th?
