Having web trouble so no photos from me until after we leave Ouray

Things are looking up for me!

New heim joint tie rod seemed to have cleared up some of my lack of power steering.

I think it may have enough power to barely go wheeling.....

Two more sleeps and a wake-up! I totally can't wait to be there!

On the suggestion of Mike, I am letting y'all know that I am doing Kite Lake in the morning. Rolling out no later than 9.

Back safe. That is a long trail. 5 hours out and back just from Silverton.

[csuengr]

For the early birds, here is what I am doing for the rest of the week.

Wednesday, Picayune and Placer gulches, then California and Corkscrew.
Thursday, Black Bear and Imogene. Pot luck at 6 that night.
Friday, Alpine loop. Stoping for lunch in Lake City.

Again, rolling out by 9am if anybody wants to tag along, or suggest changes.

[Austin4x4]

[Nikkormat]

Alright my Jeep is operational again after alot of heartache. I'm not going to make my Wednesday 4 AM departure, hoping for noon Wednesday.

[Nikkormat]

I screwed up again. And now I've got five stitches to show for it.
Is anyone driving out from Denver tomorrow? I've got the serving dishes, napkins, plates, and utensils for the potluck.

[Tatsadasayago]

Nice job Gabe.
Yours is the first carnage photo of the event!
That looks like it might have hurt and bled a bunch.
You gotta share how this happened.

[Nikkormat]

It hurts now but the tool that did the cutting was very sharp, so it didn't hurt initially.

The Cherokee has also developed more tailgate alignment problems so I will be rolling the 91 on Friday if everything goes right tomorrow. Swapping to a Holley 2300 and stripping off the remaining emmisions controls. I got the vacuum system repaired and the charge circuit part way done today after I got home from the instacare.

Been there. Done that. Got the cool scar.

I'm leaving around noon, estimated arrival in Ouray around 6:00. Sent you a text.

[REDONE]

Jeez! I've had the cars packed since 6am but I'm still waiting on people!!! Aaarrrrggghh!

[derf]

I was packed last night. Sitting at work messing around for another 2.5 hours.

[REDONE]

At eddyline brewery in Buena Vista for lunch!

[derf]

Meeting with Nikkormat to pick up supplies.

[Nikkormat]

Supplies delivered! I should see you all tomorrow.

[AwesomeJ10]

Freaking PSC screwed up my order bad. Now they have no more steering rams at all.

sucks cause I was planning to run Indy/Patriot next weekend for my birthday and I can't do that either. FAWK!
