[georgecarr]

We've been kicking this around for a while and decided WHY NOT! Make room on your calenders for November 4,5,6, 2016 for the 1st Annual Loco Libre Gear Piney Woods Hang. This will be a great weekend of relaxing in the infamous Jersey Pine Barrens. While I can't promise the Jersey Devil will show up I can promise the crew from Loco Libre Gear will!

We were just talking this weekend about when you might post this up. Putting it on my calendar, though I may not be able to commit until we get closer.

FYI, the sign up sheet is currently view only, so no one can make changes or add themselves.

Cheers!

I updated it. This is my first time using google sheets so bear with me. I think it's fixed.

In!! Looking forward to this, I'll bring a big steel griddle and would be more than happy to help cook.

You could use any excess funds to pay for NEXT year's annual hang.
