Breaking a bit from normal protocol we already have the dates for 2021 July 14th, 15th and 16th.

The FJ folks are showing up the following week and a week earlier is too close to the 4th of July.

Normally we decide these dates around the Campfire but we are going to have a very low turn out this year.

Casey talked to the KOA and the back camp spots are not available. KOA plans on making them premium RV sites. So we will see.

You can't make reservations via the web but if you call them in they will take reservations.

I will update this as time goes on.

I think this will work with our annual family vacation in N CA. It's on my calendar.

Looking to come for 2021 now as international travel looks still dicey. The online reservations seemed to be working, although I didn't go all the way to the "pay me money to reserve this" click. How are things looking for those closer to the area? I know there was some discussion about tourist areas drawing some ire from Colorado? We would probably do a cabin at the KOA, they were pretty fun the last time out.

If my cherokee can make over red mountain from Silverton, I'll join. It will my first time at the event, is there an email chain or Facebook page?

Why wouldn't your Cherk get over Red Mountain Pass? If you come up CO145 instead of US550, it's a more casual drive.

I’m not willing to deal with the new KOA BS owners.
If I come I’ll stay somewhere else.

I've been wondering if anyone has heard anything yet about the current status of the KOA.

Did anyone even set up reserved sites for the group over winter? Who is driving this short bus?

I don't think any reserved sites were set up. New owners, low attendance, covid, etc. I think some folks have made reservations, I know I have, I think Simba did. Not sure about anyone else. There's some folks above who say they plan on joining.

I haven't talked to Casey in a while so I don't know if he is coming. Tad indicated he might show up but not stay at the KOA.

I have to be in Boise in July and won’t have my truck plus it may not be up for it yet. Am hoping to have my GS though and if so will try to ride down and meet some of you in Ouray.

Wow that's a climb!

My wife asked about it yesterday. I plan on being there. I won't have the Jeep again but I will bring CHeese crisps and Los Dos Salsa.

So who is showing up this year? Looks like perhaps another small gathering.

That's a bummer Simba! We had a lot of fun wheeling together last year and I was going to bring enough eggs and tamale's this year so we could all have seconds! We'll miss you your wife and the little pups. We'll see you in 2022.
