ColoradoFest 2010

[old_man]

I am happy to formally announce ColoradoFest 2010. While we are once again going to be in Buena Vista, Colorado, we have changed the venue.

We will be staying at the newly remodeled Arrowhead Point Campground, 33975 US Hwy 24N, Buena Vista, CO 81211. We are getting a group site well away from the normal campers so we can have our privacy.

We will be doing an on site BBQ for our meal. They have a covered pavilion big enough to handle the whole crew and it is reserved just for us.

The have full RV facilities for those bringing a camper or motorhome. http://www.arrowheadpointresort.com/

We will be following up with more details as we iron them out. We hope to have some awesome t-shirts, etc available as well.

We are going to try and get a registration set up shortly.

I checked the website, but it says nothing about dogs at the group site. Assuming they are done, do you suppose they will allow us to park our camping trailers at the group site?

[old_man]

You might just give them a call and ask the question. I am pretty tied up for the next few days.

[coloradoajm]

I am new to xjs. Just bought and lifted mine last fall. I live in Montrose but would love to spend time in BV. Looking forward to more info.

[old_man]

We are working on finalizing the tshirt/hoodie costs and working through how we are going to set things up. Hopefully we can start giving out more info in a couple of weeks.

[WB9YZU]

I'm also interested to see if they will allow dogs ...I'm sure Fred and I aren't the only ones.

Will stop back occasionally.

Thanks for all the hard work. The last one I was at was a good time!

Pulled this from their website.

Pets are welcome here at Arrowhead Point. They must be kept on a leash at all times. Pets may not be left unattended at anytime. We ask that you use the designated dog walk areas and pick up your pet deposits every time!

[old_man]

I'm planning on going over to BV in the next week or so to take a look at the campground and take some pix for you guys. Thinking about running Chinaman's while I am there.

Thanks for the complament Steve but I needed the money to buy the new one. Thom

[RZOSETH]

where would one register?

[old_man]

We haven't set up a registration thread yet.

[in4aride]

Is there set trails and corresponding days they are going to be run? Thanks.

[old_man]

We're going to run all the good stuff when you are gone and the crappy stuff when you get there. :yap:

[Ben_Dyer]

all i know is i hope to get a run on Chinaman on the 26 or the 31 since i cant make it the whole trip and only can get two days either at the end or beginning gonna shoot for the friday and sat off so i can be at the group dinner.

[Rockken]

There is usually a Chinaman run on Saturday, this year it will be the 31st. But it's the women's run, so you will either have to wear a dress, or sit in the passenger seat while your woman drives. :D

[Ben_Dyer]

i think there would be a better shot at me driving in a dress than getting Amy to drive

[in4aride]

What if you have a Pansy ass friend? Can they drive? Lol.

[jrsxj98]

Yes we can make exceptions for pansy ass friends

[Ben_Dyer]

anticipation sucks!!!!

[old_man]

Reminds me of my grand children before Christmas.:doh:

[Ben_Dyer]

[in4aride]

(Whistles loudly)

any updates?
I know I'm as bothersome as a hemroid about this but can't make plans when we don't know WTF is going on.....

Thanks


.!.:D.!.

[bajatink]

Hey everyone, I am from the Midwest, but happen to be heading to the BV area on the 23rd, not sure of our exact plans yet but it sure would be cool to catch a run with you. My in-laws live right up the road from the Arrowhead, in Twin Lakes, so we will be in the area most of the week. Is there a plan of any kind yet as far as what trails you will be running?

Thanks,
Jeremy

[tcharon]

Hay guys, we haven't heard from the OLD MAN Tom in 3 weeks, is he planning this & should someone call him? He's almost as old as me & things can happen like dementia...

[old_man]

Hey Thom, kiss my ass. Isn't there a rule about having to have an XJ to participate???? :laugh:

The dates have been set. The campground is arrainged. The trail schedule is fluid because whether we set a schedule or not, it always changes on the spur of the moment with ColoradoFest anyway.

The BBQ is handled.

We have more swag for the raffle than we have had in quite a while. The BOD had stepped up and this is well in hand.

I am awaiting to put up a formal sign up list until I get the final costs on the shirts. I would have had this handled if life hadn't gotten in the way. It will be handled, just chill.

[tcharon]

Hay Tom, I wasn't mean in my comments, just playful & I was only 1 of 6 so I shouldn't really have to kiss anywhere.

[mj88719]

Hay all im new to naxja. This sounds like it will be a fun weekend I would love to join you if you let an mj go. My xj is well lets say has had some better days.

[xj-grin]

Tom -- totally understand on the fluid schedule bit. However, the only run I know I want to make for sure (given limited time availability) is the overnight on Holy Cross... should I pick a date that I like and see if the fluid schedule follows me??:kissyou:

[BillR]

Hey Thom, kiss my ass. Isn't there a rule about having to have an XJ to participate???? :laugh:

I hope not...I was thinking about coming out to camp one night.:shhh: (no wheeling, unfortunately...I'll be on my way to Denver)

[old_man]

We might waive the rules if you provide the beer. :laugh3:

[flingshot]

Hay all im new to naxja. This sounds like it will be a fun weekend I would love to join you if you let an mj go. My xj is well lets say has had some better days.

XJ, MJ. Same same. Welcome!!

[time2getdirty]

...the only run I know I want to make for sure (given limited time availability) is the overnight on Holy Cross...

X2

[Rockken]

Holy Cross will be a good warm up for carnage. You know you want to run carnage, come on dents add charactor to your rig.

[in4aride]

im super stoked for carnage...gonna be awesome

[mgonos]

Forgive my ignorance- but I'v never wheeled in buena vista before... how hard are the trails there? My jeep is still far from being a hard-core rock crawler- is there trails suited to those of us more on the stock side of life?

97xj-32's, 4.5" lift, ls rear

thanks

Dont worry there are a few of us that are on the less modified side!

[Jawa]

Buena Vista has trails for all types of rigs, from stock to buggy. That's a big part of why we hold the event there. There's something for everyone. Come join us, there will be plenty for you to do!

If you're curious about some of the trails on our schedule, check out www.traildamage.com (http://www.traildamage.com). That site has ratings and detailed reports of just about every trail in the state. It's a great resource. :thumbup:

[mgonos]

Great- I'll be there! Probably get down there late Thursday evening- head home Saturday or Sunday

Few more questions (wife is a bit of a planner so I know she'll ask)...
-any costs associated? Camping costs (tent camping in group site)? Dogs OK?

Thanks- look forward to meeting all of you who I haven’t already!

[Ben_Dyer]

we are all still waiting on the associated costs that old-man is hiding from us. and yea dogs are ok at the camp site that they have reserved a group site at...(covered earlier in thread)

[Apostle]

Dont worry there are a few of us that are on the less modified side!


yup. me personally, cant wait for that fire break road, woot





:)

[in4aride]

woot....
supa close now...lil over 3 weeks!!!

do we cough up money pre trip or when we get there?

tents set up in a particular manner or just wherever we park?

[old_man]

Info on ordering tshirts should be up shortly. As it turns out JohnJohn is going to handle this though his online site.

Camp sites are pretty much going to be first come first served.

[in4aride]

ill just put my tent on top of the jeep, screw it..lol

[G.P_XJ]

I'll be there :D

[in4aride]
