Not only that but I've had cancelations from both of my friends who were supposed to come to Ouray with me. So my expenses have doubled if not tripled.
So I'm broke, alone, and FSJ less. But as someone wiser than me once said. "It's better to be in Ouray crying about your jeep than be at home crying about not going to Ouray."
So I'll be showing up in a battered and bruised gmc Sierra. Still bringing all of my tools and spares to help any of my fellow jeepers and I look forward to at least getting to meet and wrench with you all.
ETA by 9:45 pm tonight.
wow, that is just wrong on so many levels. I can see maybe pulling the valve stems, no real damage done. But to actually destroy the tires (1000 dollars in damage right there) is just mind boggling. I know what I would do if I was in your position, but I will leave that up to you.
Take Blake up on his offer, at least you will get there.
OK here how things stand. They were not being completely honest when they said that they slashed them. In reality they just pulled the valve stem cores and then put them back in so I wouldn't figure it out as easily.
The plan is to convoy with Blake up tincup, camp at the top, and head down to Ouray on backroads the next day.
I really can't believe that my parents got this freaked out about a camping trip. It was fine as long as Wyatt was coming with me, but the second I had to go alone the BEEP really hit the fan. I had to convince them that you all weren't a bunch of thieves luring me out into the wilderness to shanghai me and disappear with my stuff. Special thanks to Flint's website with documentation of the invasion so I could proove this has been going on for years.

Good deal! If you leave late enough can you do me a favor and pick up a radiator cap for a 2008 ford explorer sport trac. 4wd. V8. AC. I'll pay you for it. Thanks.
