Jared and Dave went up the Narrows, east of Bull Head City, AZ.

Rob made a trip back to the fire area. Area is really charred. Hard to believe how devastating fire can be. A lot of the trails we use were spared.

After a discussion with the members about charge for event, there was a motion by Dave Hess, Second by Jen Utt to charge $40.00 for registration. There was some concern about the raffle. Jeremy said he would do the best he can. It was also suggested we contact the Membership Chairman for the Central District about the possibility of setting up a membership booth to gain some new members for the Association. Jeremy will reach out to see if this is a possibility.
Rob, Jared, Travis, Tom volunteered to lead trail trips. Shirts were also discussed. It was decided that the shirts will be long sleeve and gray-heather color.
