Treasury Report:
Yes, we have money. Specific Treasurer Reports in the Members forum here.


Trail Report:

- Haspin Hangover 2018
Pretty decent turnout for a ridiculously cold day of wheeling. Three XJs, two RZRs, a WJ, YJ, and couple of old Yotas showed up later.

No major carnage. Tim's RZR spent most of the day on the trailer, and earned the Pink Hook. Robbi's electric fan wouldn't run, and Jim battled a leaky tire.

One good stuck when Jim broke though the ice, but overall, it was a great day in the woods.

A few pics here.


Upcoming Events:

- Super Sunday Fun Run? Feb 4th
Maybe? Maybe not? We'll do something local soon...

- Rush Trail Work, April 20-22nd
First big trip of the year. We work a little, play a little, and get to help build Rush the way we want it to be. Tentative plan is to head down Friday, do a little trail work Saturday morning, then wheel Saturday afternoon and maybe a little Sunday. Look for a thread as the dates approach.


Official Business:

- 2018 Dues
That time of year again. As a reminder, new Memberships are $50 and include a tee shirt and rig decals. Renewals are $30 and, well, don't...

- Beanies and Hoodies
Kevin is putting an order together for some cold weather gear. Getcha some here.


Other News and Happenings:

- 2018 Calendar discussion
We're starting to get some dates pinned down, but we've got a few wrinkles to iron out. The Windrock trip is only two weeks after Harlan, which probably won't be enough recovery time. And the trip to Golden Mountain is scheduled for the second weekend in August, and they may only be open the first weekend of the months.

If either of those were on your to-do list, please chime in here, and here.

- Parts and Services Source Thread
We were discussing sources for tube, and realized it could be a really nice resource to compile all of our preferred vendors into one thread. I'll try to get the ball rolling soon, look for a thread in the Members Forum.
