SOCIAL: WINTER POTLUCK & PLANNING PARTY (Including RIVER TRIPS)

We are overdue for a social potluck event!

----Meet and greet old friends and new and have a great time.
----Get out ideas for planning outings and events (hiking, skiing, cycling, canyoneering, social/cultural ) and...
----Discussion of river trips and permitting for multiday trips next season.

I've rented a venue for us from 4:30-9:30pm on Monday, 1/19/26 (address provided on your RSVP). There is a kitchen, tables & chairs. We'll need help setting up and cleaning up afterwards.

Bring food and drink to share (list under COMMENTS).
(Non-alcoholic beverages only please...venue rule).
This event co-listed with the Western Slope Group of the Colorado Mountain Club.

Regarding river trip planning:

Not all multiday river trips require permits, but many of the best ones do. MOST lottery type permit applications ARE DUE JANUARY 31, 2026! Having boating equipment or experience is not necessary. In fact, newbies seem to have the best success!
We will discuss how, when, and where to get river permits and how WSA river trips work. Join in!
(Consider attending the Grand Junction River Permit Party on January 10.)
