Sadly, now I have to go to Seattle for a week on the 12th and won't be able to come. I'm bummed and hope everyone has a great time.

I think the folks who have committed with show up. There is always a bit of falling off but I think folks are excited about this year.

I noticed the new KOA map includes a 'guard shack'. Interesting.

Mom and I won't be showing up, after Covid in December she doesn't feel like traveling, she has even told her sisters that she won't be showing up for their birthdays. I had hoped she would get to feeling better but at 94 you don't bounce back like you used too.

I bet you are chomping at the bit :)

Hope everyone has a safe and fun trip.

Be careful out there!

I watched some of the youtube vids, and it looks fun.

Wish there were more of the actual gathering, and videos of everyone's rigs, as we love to see them all :)

I know, if you want to see them all, you gotta go in person.......maybe next year :/

8-1/2 hours is close enough for a weekend trip😝
I’m bad about driving 18 hours. Wheel 2 days and 18 hours home miss 1-1/2 days of work… I got rocks for brains sometimes lol.

So ready to go :D

In two short weeks I will be on the road heading to Ouray. Heck, if I leave early enough I will be at least half way there!

I am showing up on Saturday. My buddies and I are going to wheel on Sunday (Last Dollar road and then either Imogene or Ophir back).

I'll make the Hollandaise sauce for early bird eggs benedict breakfast Sunday night and then rewarm it Monday morning.

The gang will then do Red Mountain mining trail, it's a tradition.

As you might have guessed I am pretty excited! I am bringing the Jeep this year, it's been a few since I drug it up and while I enjoy the creature comforts of the Colorado (and the wheeling is a bit more exciting too) I can't wait to get the Jeep back on the Ouray trails.

Thanks Bob! We'll probably do Ophir but it's a good reminder to always check for current conditions before starting out!

Pulling the plug on my Ouray escapade. The numbers just don't make sense this year... I have a tent site at the KOA, checking in on Wednesday the 13th, checking out Sunday the 17th. Send me a PM if you want it, calling to cancel soon.

sorry to see that heimeken. Maybe you can make TITD this year?

I am still in for Ouray this year. Just a bit over a week to go before I get there, and I am really looking forward to my week up in the cool San Juans!

It's my only vacay this year so I plan to make the most of it.

I am looking forward to hanging with you all and doing trail runs!
