🐺 [social] We smell opportunity!!

Welcome, Social Coyote!

We smell opportunity!!

I know what you’re thinking, of course you do, coyotes have great noses. No, I don’t mean opportunities for snacking.

I’ve been talking to pack members who are looking to get more active in the ecosystem, and I keep hearing the same thing:

SD is going crazy with activity, but isn’t it all in North County?

First of all, hats off to you North County, it’s popping off up there. As I review the data, there sure are a lot of interesting happenings to the north.

Okay, so the opportunities… takes a slow sip of coffee… events to the south? Coyotes are asking for them, looking for them, sniffing for them!

We have the opportunity to add more events to our ecosystem, and in fact, all we really need is a cool place, some intention, and an idea. I have a few ideas in the works, but you could organize a group too!

Maybe this is obvious by now, but I’m all for more opportunities to connect with each other. I feel that strong connections can come from anywhere, and that we should keep our eyes, ears, and noses open.

Let me know how I can help!
