Who organized?
Joel

I'm an Assistant Organizer with SCOA now - Whoo whooo!!
CHECK MY PROFILE

The reason I'm doing this:
To meet more people with interests similar to my own.
I will be @ Father's Office with or without you from 8 until at least 9. I(we) will be staying longer if we're having a good time.

Why you might care:
I want to create more opportunities for Well Rounded Adventurers to interact during the week. Talk about adventure ideas and then go out and make them happen.

What do you mean "Well Rounded Adventurers"?
Those that are looking to hang out and have a good time and not take their Adventure Life too seriously....
Big Hikes, Fun Hikes, Happy Hours, Karaoke, Mountain Trips, Mountain Biking (freeride XC), Snowboarding (more freeride than park), Camping Trips, Museum Special Events, Salsa, Long Runs, Trail Runs, Road Trips. ... . Let's Do It Because We Can kind of stuff.

We all have ideas of what we'd like to do (I imagine/ I hope)
The problem:
A lot of Well Rounded Adventurers' friends fall into 3 categories:
1. They think our ideas are crazy
2. They say "OH yeah great idea!" and then flake
3. They can't participate (Bank Account or Sick Day reserves have been exhausted)

The Plan:
I'm always out doing something. I'm going to start sharing with the SCOA crew.
This is your excuse to come out, meet some new people and get to know them a bit before planning trips with them or asking them to join you and yours "real" friends on an adventure.

If you have an idea of what you'd like to do or think it'd be fun to come along on an adventure reach out to me. Better yet, show up in person and tell me about it.

Don't tell yourself you'll go to the NEXT event.
Tomorrow never comes.
