I think this ran up against FREE FOOD, trail runs, camping opportunity. Did I mention FREE FOOD?!?!
If you want to come to the BBQ - I'll share my food with ya! I'd love to meet you and chat about your new bumpers....
Edit: And if you are up to it - run the SCCX AAT 2N02, camp overnight, etc. Great way to meet this mostly harmless motley crew...
