Great Basin Outings now listed on Club’s Campfire site
Effective immediately, the Great Basin Group Outings Program will begin publishing all of its outings online in real time via Campfire, the new calendar network developed by the Sierra Club. Campfire will eventually completely replace OARS within a year. GBG will NOT publish its outings in the Trails, beginning with this issue.
Members (and nonmembers) can access this calendar, which will show all of our out- ings and events by going here: http://www. sierraclub.org/toiyabe/great-basin/outings- and-events.
The Great Basin Group will also continue to publish outings on its Meetup site as well, at: https://www.meetup.com/Sierra-Club- Hiking-Reno. Be sure to check both sites to see all that we have to offer:
This new way of listing outings will accomplish several things that will be beneficial to Sierra Club members across the nation who are interested in seeing what Northern Nevada has to offer. It will also benefit Great Basin Group Outings Leaders.
First, going ‘all digital’ will help us re- duce our paper usage. Second, the online calendar that the Great Basin Group will be using will allow our outings to be visible on Sierra Club calendars across the nation and on Sierra Club’s constituent event website, AddUp.
Also, GBG Outings Leaders will now have more flexibility in planning outings for Sierra Club members and for members of the community.
