[Frank Z]

A group I wheel with was thinking about coming out to Ouray in '08. Is Coloradofest usually the same time each year? We were trying to plan it this far in advance so everyone can take off work and stuff like that. From Wichita it's almost 800 miles.

[jrsxj98]

It is usually the same time every year, but we are gonna try and move the location around year to year.

[badger]

Any idea yet where the base camp will be??.....Ouray??....Silverton??

[jrsxj98]

Looking like Silverton...I am just waiting for info on a campground that caters to not for profit clubs.

[kemosabee]

Nice, coming down to my neck of the woods! I would look into Kendall Mountain, the All For Fun event was there last year and plenty of camping was done.

[IntrepidXJ]

Looking forward to attending my first COfest.....just gotta get the Jeep ready for the trip in time :)

One step ahead of you:cheers:

I may beable to make it since Im moving out to NM in May.. I know more when time gets closer

Since my company is moaning about me taking time off in Sept/Oct, it looks like I can't plan for another Utah trip and, since I haven't been to the San Juans in this century . . . . .

It would be good to get back to SW CO - this bears SERIOUS consideration!

Mike in NJ :patriot:

Indeed you do need to get yourself out here Mike! It's been far to long. I don't think you need to consider it for too long, just do it!

Hope to see ya there!

Mike,

I've been trying to decide whether to do Moab or CO this year (not enough vacation time for both). If you go to CO that would go a long way to helping me to decide to go there too.

[Mike in NJ]

Sure - put the pressure on the guy who has to drive 2000 miles for the success of YOUR vacation! (Troy was much more subtle!)

:banghead:

Oh, OK, <ouch>!!! you twisted my arm.

Barring mechanical meltdown - I'm gonna bring RED back to the San Juans! Dust off your Colorado maps.

Satisified? Now, get off my back! I can't handle any more pressure! :kissyou:

[Bloose]

So there it is!

[YELLAHEEP]

Hey Bob, flip off the boss and come run with us in Moab in May! :D

Then drive Clifford out again in July for CO Fest..... or are ya..... Chicken?

[jrsxj98]

bok...bok....bok...bok......

[Bloose]

No one calls me yella, er I mean chicken!

[Bloose]

Moab in may? What's that all about? At $3 a gallon I think one trip may already break the bank, but fuel is supposed to hit $3.50 to $4 a gallon this summer! I think one trip is going to be it this year. :(

[Menzenski]

There's a good chance I'll be at COfest. I've got transfer applications in at CU Boulder and UNM, and if I'm out there by July, with a Jeep, I'll be there.

Matt

[Silverstreak01]

i should be there as well

[Teellandor]

I'd like to go. I'll see if I can get leave for that week.

[BillR]

I'll be there!party1:

[Teellandor]

Maybe once yall get the trail list and other particulars posted ...

Looks like I'll only be able to go up for the weekend portion.

[XJ_99]

Will my 91 with a 3.5 RE SF and 31 be alright out there?

Definitely. Silverton area wheeling is more scenic than technical. You'll have no problem making almost all of the runs.

[Rockken]

I'll be there this year. Hopefully I don't break my junk the first day this year, better stick to the easy trails.

That's likely a good thing for me. In February I broke a ton of stuff at Freeze Your Butt Off-fest! I was wheeling for about an hour when I broke my drivers side front axle shaft, broke a tooth off the front ring gear, and broke the transfercase! All at once! Needless to say, my wheeling was done for the day. Hopefully I'll get more than an hour of wheeling in after 2 days of driving. :)

Uhhh....

So compare it to Chinaman Gulch. There were a couple of us that were even "open-open on 31s" (raises hand) that made it most of the way on that trail without an extra little pull.

Chinaman's is a good bit more difficult than all but MAYBE one of the trails in the Silverton area. Poughkeepsie Gulch is pretty tough, but the rest of the trails can be done in a stocker. You'll have no problems.

[Kittrell]

What Billy said.

[Teellandor]

Sweet! I'll see what kind of time off I have left.

[kemosabee]

Definitely count me in, I owe BillR a steak so I'll be prepared with some good Elk steaks if he comes, hopefully with an XJ and not the TJ! LOL

I'll be in my TJ, but I SURE won't turn down an elk steak!:lickout:

[prerunner1982]

Dang wish I could make it, my parents live in Durango and I LOVE the trails up there. Infact my dad is a Jeep parts guy at Pat Murphy Motors in Durango if you'll need anything while youll are up there. They are planning on moving to Okla later this year... someone better take alot of pics..

[hjeepxj]
