Sat, 5:00pm - 8:00pmJun 112022

Max Trip Size: 50 people

Description:

All backpackers welcome! Beginners, experienced, new members, and in between! The more we mingle, the better. Potluck starts at 5pm and goes until 8pm. I will arrive around 4pm to start setting up.

The MN Rovers thrive on community and relationships. This is what makes us AWESOME. Come grow our awesome community of backpackers by simply having a meal and a beer while getting to know other awesome backpackers. Come chat about upcoming trips, and plan other future Rover backpacking trips.

Potluck goes from 5-8pm. I will arrive early for any required setup.
This is a potluck. Bring what you want for food.
Bring your own dish and flatware. This is Rovers style!
BYOB, alcohol not provided, but allowed – No glass, no hard alcohol. Beer and wine only. Bring your own cooler.
There is no entry fee for Locke County Park (June 11 potluck). We still encourage you to carpool!
No electric available at this shelter. Please plan accordingly.
I recommend bringing a camp chair in case we run out of seating.
As with most Rovers day events, you must either be a current Rovers member or sign a liability waiver on our web page if you’re not a current member.

RSVP required. Once you contact me, I will provide access to our google sheet to record what you’re bringing. Please note what you will be bringing to help others plan. Let’s get a good variety – meat, meatless, vegetables, deserts, etc.

No cost other than sharing a dish with your awesome backpacking friends. The shelter cost me $80. Donations accepted on the day of the event, but donation is not required. Suggested donation of $5 per person/couple, pay only what you can afford ($0 acceptable!) and don’t feel obligated. I will stop accepting donations once the shelter has been paid for. If you would still like to donate after the shelter is paid for, please consider donating to the following organizations in any amount you can afford:

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GIVING UP CERTAIN RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT.

SUMMARY: You agree to not hold us, including our trip coordinators and board members responsible for anything that happens at a Rover Activity unless we are intentionally or willfully negligent.

In consideration of the risk of injury while participating in Minnesota Rovers Outdoors Club (“MN Rovers”) “Activities.” I hereby, on behalf of myself, my heirs, representatives, successors, executors, and administrators knowingly and voluntarily enter into this waiver and release of liability and hereby waive any and all rights, claims or causes of action arising out of my participation in the “Activity,” and do hereby release and forever discharge MN Rovers, their affiliates, managers, members, agents, attorneys, staff, volunteers, heirs, representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (the “indemnities”), for any physical or psychological injury, including but not limited to illness, paralysis, death, damages, economical or emotional loss, that I may suffer as a direct result of my participation in the aforementioned “Activity,” including traveling to and from an event related to this Activity. I assume all related risks, both known or unknown to me, of my participation in this “Activity.”

SUMMARY: You agree to reimburse us if we get sued by you or someone on your behalf in connection with an MN Rovers activity.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless MN Rovers against any and all claims, suits or actions for liability, damages, compensation or otherwise brought by me or anyone on my behalf, including attorney’s fees and any related costs, if litigation arises pursuant to any claims made by me or by anyone else acting on my behalf. If MN Rovers incurs any of these types of expenses, I agree to reimburse MN Rovers.

I acknowledge that the “indemnities” are not responsible for errors, omissions, acts or failures to act of any party or entity conducting a specific event or activity on behalf of MN Rovers.

SUMMARY: You are financially responsible for your own medical care as well as damage to equipment or facilities caused by you.

In the event that I should require medical care or treatment, I agree to be financially responsible for any costs incurred as a result of such treatment. I am aware and understand that I should carry my own health insurance. In the event that any damage to equipment or facilities occurs as a result of my or my family’s willful actions, neglect or recklessness, I acknowledge and agree to be held liable for any and all costs associated with any actions of neglect or recklessness.

Both the Participants and MN Rovers agree that this Agreement is clear and unambiguous as to its terms, and that no other evidence will be used or admitted to alter or explain the terms of this Agreement, but that it will be interpreted based on the language in accordance with the purposes for which it is entered into. I also understand that if any portion of this release and waiver is deemed overreaching or void for any reason, all other portions not deemed overreaching or void remain valid and in effect. If a court should find that any provision of this agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting said provision it would become valid and enforceable, then said provision shall be deemed to be written, construed and enforced as so limited.

I have read this release and waiver of liability and understand that I am giving up certain rights by signing it. I fully understand its content, and that this release cannot be modified orally. I am signing it voluntarily and freely and am at least 18 years of age, or as a legal guardian agreeing on behalf of my minor child/ren, and am competent to sign. I understand that this release does not apply to any intentional, willful, or wanton acts on the part or on any of the “indemnities.” I also understand that if any portion of this release and waiver is deemed overreaching or void for any reason, all other portions not deemed overreaching or void remain valid and in effect.
