Thinking of getting some people together to maybe do a group day run out in calico. The Odessa-Doran loop is a great time and has fun views. Not too hard unless you want to attempt the gate keeper. Not sure on the day, maybe New Year’s Day or that Saturday.

Offroad expo was rad this year thanks to Elliot! Thanks for the invite and letting me put the shitbox in the booth. Super cool meeting everyone and seeing all the rigs in person finally.

Joe had those same aluminum hoods pins snap just like that. Didn’t even know this shit happened last weekend

You did an awesome job and thank you for making this possible! Had such a great time and putting faces to names. Looking forward to the next one and the next BLGT event
