Missouri Meetup

I just talked to the Mark Twain office and they said they are currently set at 10 party max. They said they will know more Monday if that’s changing.

If I read the new MO order no where did it state the 10 person rule but more based on indoors and fire code numbers.

If I missed something please let me know but according to that we would be ok to proceed.

Paddy creek is federal lands so maybe they have different rules than state.
 
Is the idea still may 30th at paddy creek? 2 of us may still be interested

That’s still the idea if it works out.

Anyone think we should push it a few more weeks into June in hopes things settle even more?

I’m good with whenever just want the best turn out we can get.
 
So I spoke with Mark Twain office and they said it is still 10 people max groups through the month. They are hoping to start opening it up for larger in June but they didn’t not have an exact date.

What does everyone think?

Here are options I’ve thought about:

(1) Delay to a later date

(2) Keep same date and hope to find someone with private land that would allow us to meet at.

(3) Possible go to a state land vs federal in hopes they are allowing larger groups.

If we don't delay it to another date then how about finding someone with private land?

I called MO Conservation and they said state land is following governor rules about just keeping safe distances. I specifically asked about Busiek State park because I’ve hiked, biked and camped there a lot. They had me leave a message with the head of the area manager to double check it was alright but they didn’t see a problem. Waiting for a call back.

It wouldn’t be the combo scouting meet up like planned but still allow us to get together.
 
Due to covid 19 I am available to come and hang with you fellas. Bear hunt in Canada is no bueno.

Sweet we get to see “Vader”.

Didn’t hear back from MO Conservation so will have to try again Monday. Hopefully we can lock in a place.
 
So I’ve left another message for the state park folks and no response yet. It’s only 10 days away.

Reschedule?

If so, when?
 
June 13, 14, 20 and & 21 I have conflicts. Please don't plan around me. Just letting you know.
 
Finally heard back from the state and they are also sticking to the 10 people in groups. I don’t get it since we are outside and can keep the 6’ distance. But anyways....

How does June 27th sound at Paddy Creek like originally planned?
 
That's good...I might not be able to make it. Just found out that I might be teaching summer school. We will see.

Sounds good to me
 
It was mentioned in another thread that a lot of Missouri boys are popping up here and that perhaps a "mini saddlepalooza" might be in order.

Would many folks have interest in that? If so, we can discuss it here and setup a date/time/location and do a little workshop/cookout and meetup. Be a great chance to show off gear, try other setups and make some new buddies!

As most Missouri boys know, we're blessed with lots and lots of public land and access is relatively easy.

What does everyone think?
I think it’s an awesome idea! Thanks for sending me the link.

Just an FYI- MDC has announced it continues it current Covid-19 policies thru June 30th don’t know if that would affect anything?
