Looking forward to this since I missed last years.

Hey Jayrat - just to confirm, is "Day 1" Saturday, or Friday?

[SCUBA_Dale]

As an option, I reached out to Ocotillo Wells Ranger Station to see how much it would be to reserve/rent the amphitheater/event center on Main St.  This area has tons of picnic tables, a huge community campfire ring, bathrooms, and showers.  It is also located centrally to all of the trails that will be run(I'm assuming). 

I know there would be a cost to this, just waiting to hear how much.

I was thinking Trail Day 1 would be Saturday
Friday would be a meet and greet

[RBduffer]

Hey Jay, I'll lead a green trail either day, and both if really necessary

[Jayrat]

Thanks Randy

That would be a great option, especially for a meet-n-greet or if we want to sponsor potluck style meals each night.  Those that want to camp elsewhere could probably do that, too.

  I think Jayrat and I are shying away from the big potluck meals. Some of the reasons are it's a lot of work and with people out running trails time hacks may not get met due to breakdowns etc. People might not get fed which wouldn't be good. I'm not saying we won't do it but with a large group going to the four winds it has a high potential for a mess. Scuba Dale has a good idea depending upon cost and regulations.

  I think Jayrat and I are shying away from the big potluck meals. Some of the reasons are it's a lot of work, picky eaters and with people out running trails time hacks may not get met due to breakdowns etc. People might not get fed which wouldn't be good.

Yeah, that actually makes sense.  I never really thought about it from that aspect.
