You guys wanted a BOD that would do stuff, plan events, and get things rolling in the right direction. You wanted to do more Meet & Greets, wrenching and wheeling. I'd like to think we were listening.
I'm sorry for letting everybody down. The plan was to be proactive, not reactive. We actually have a full calendar of events for the entire year. We have both major rides, the Crawl and Flog, planned with dates set for the year. There is plenty of room on the calendar for tons of other rides, etc.
As to why we chose Morris Mountain. We saw an opportunity to get the exclusive use of an OHV park that would only have Crawl participants there. New facilities. An excellent rate for an entire weekend of wheeling and camping. This allows people to bring their entire family if they so desire and not pay a "per person" fee. It's a park everyone seems to like and in an area many have never been.
With the way things are now, we can get on task to prerun trails, plan the meals, put together the flyers, and gather raffle prizes.
It also gives people who want to attend ample time to save up for the event, make requests for time off from work, etc.
I guess I should have polled everything and got 50 different places and answers for dates. Then we could be rushing around at the last minute trying to pull it together. And even after doing all of that, somebody would still be upset.
By the way, the dates for both '09 events mirror last years Crawl and Flog.
I would hope that 6 months from now everyone would feel better and come have a good time with us. We really meant for this announcement to be positive and a move forward.
(the Flog being the other). It's an event where eveyone gets together for wheeling, camping, and eating for a long weekend. There is also a raffle for all kinds of Jeep goodies.
