Outdoor Adventure USA

OAUSA will hold our annual Meet & Greet on March 17, 2012, at the Ruby's Diner in Redondo Beach California. Ruby's and the Marina Management Company have teamed up to welcome us and provide a unique location for this event.

Ruby's is located right on the beach in Redondo and offers a perfect setting for this get together. There will be a special section for display of outdoor vehicles, a testing session for all levels of Ham Radio Licensing, Ham Radio demonstrations, guest speakers, emergency preparedness information, and great food at Ruby's. More details to follow.

Bring your families too. This is a great venue for us to meet the family members we never get to see on the trail. Post any questions you may have here or send a PM to DaveK, hmfigueroa, cruiserlarry, or Ollie. We look forward to seeing you there.

See you all there, Hopefully my wife will be doing her technician test.

are we allowed to have any kind of stand to show off flexy suspension?

I think that "yes" is the answer to the question. There are a few restrictions, but none that I can think of that would apply to that. Give me a call for details.

If this means a ramp, that could be fun. I would not mind getting my truck up on one for a photo.

I'll be there and -- as of right now anyway -- I will clean up my Tacoma and display it with either the 2m/70cm Elk antenna or the solar panel deployed. I have a Pull Pal that I could stage if anyone thinks that would be of interest.

Sounds great. Finding a place to anchor the Pull Pal might be a problem. Let's talk at the event.
