=============================================
We covered a lot of subjects, all of which can be found in the meeting slides posted in our documents library.  Here are some highlights:

- Our workday with Medicine Wheel on 1 Nov 2026 on Capt Jacks was successful
- John Kennedy will be our Penrose Commons grant program manager
- Trailcat Enterprises did a nice job on the FS672 (Mt Rosa) lower west section reroute
- We were announced as the #2 volunteer organization at the USFA Partners Meeting held on 15 Oct
- We are going to ask for a TPA trail crew hitch again for 2027
- CPW Partners in the Outdoors conference in Keystone CO, April 27-29; Tad will attend and we decided to cover some of his expenses
- PPRD good management status is not recommended at this time
- NOHVCC Annual Conference in Las Cruces NM, 18-20 Mar 2027; we recommend sending someone, they are also looking for presenters.  Our 2025 trail analysis Power Point might be a good subject
- Our storage unit fee is up for renewal

=============================================

Our Rainbow Falls Keystone Project is on indefinite hold due to the restructuring of the Travel Management Rule revision for public lands and other Forest Service District priorities, as well as a lack of resources on the Forest Service side.  We may submit for a maintenance grant for the Mt Rosa (FS672) trail instead.

=============================================

Our member spotlight was Eric Kingsley.  He's been doing dual sport rides with Dave Bruson.  Eric has a Honda CRF300L and has been riding for many years.  Welcome to our club, Eric!!!
