Two Annoucements: GHORBA wanted to pass on two fun family events
tomorrow at the REI Westheimer location. As off-road bikers we all
end up camping and doing a lot of driving as part of enjoying our
sport.

1. FAMILY CAMPING PROGRAM

The Houston Area Urban Outdoors Specialist from the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department will be here to teach families the basics of
camping. Learn how to enjoy the outdoors and explore new boundaries
with your family. There will also be some basic information on site
selection, items to bring, and state park camping opportunities in
the Houston area, along with many useful hints for the outdoors.
