It looks about 60 miles from BV. Maybe we take an early morning trip to get it.

or, what about spending Saturday night in the area and pick it up that night and then we can just jump to Colorado Springs and run down 25. I am just talking out loud right now,

Yeah, we could pick it up just about any time, and if you need a place to store it and 218 is full ( :laughing: ) then I could probably store it out at my place for a while.

so do we need to make any kind of camping reservations? There is a big hot air balloon thing going on that weekend, so we should probably insure we have a place to stay.

if we are going to go by there i should go with you, its my families land (since like the 1850s) my great uncle (uncle ernie) is the one that owns all that land and the vehicles.

i will let you know, if definetly can not go to my house right now.

whats funny about that is that truck has been in colorado since the 20s and barely has any rust... i wonder how fast texas can finish it off?

if we need to i am sure we could camp out at the ranch... i would just need to call him

Ernest is a BAD DOODE they do not make people like that anymore. hell it would be cool to just stop by and bull**** for a little while even if i do not take a vehicle home

go watch and old john wayne movie and then imagine chuck noris beating the crap out of him... that is ernest (well use to be, he is pretty chill now)

here is the link to some photos i took when i was up there for my grandmas funeral http://picasaweb.google.com/jcooperc...doOctober2007#
the land use to be my great grandpas (the national park next to it was his), before that his parents were homesteaders in the area, and my grandma was born in the log cabin that the truck is parked next to.

ernest and his sons own a construction company up there, they use to blast all the mountains with dynomite to build roads, now his sons run it and he just chills and runs cattle.

Boy oh boy, I think we may have some super secret skunkworks **** going down for this trip. It looks to be most AWSOME if it goes into production!

Ok, I am sure we will have a few hours atleast to go grab it. We don't have to actually schedule it in right now, because you know how these trips end up when **** starts beaking. It would make for a cool side trip atleast. :gigem:

i was just going to take it to dexter :flipoff2:

Crap, that's what I meant. :laughing:

Yeah, I would hate to show up with out 'an escort' of sorts, plus it would be good for you to see family.

if we need to i am sure we could camp out at the ranch... i would just need to call him

I like meetin old folks like that, they are few and far between nowdays. Talk to Eric Creighton and Jerry and see what they say. I am really down for anything as long as it involves me, whiskey/beer, and gettin the hell outa Dodge for a while. I need to unwind somethin serious.

ernest and his sons own a construction company up there, they use to blast all the mountains with dynomite to build roads, now his sons run it and he just chills and runs cattle.

Hmm, wonder if they need a good operator???

i dont think he really wants to sell any of his crap, i think he is a bit of a pack rat... you should see inside the old cabin that he grew up in.

trust me that fridge would be in my garage if he was willing to part with ****.

that fridge actually works perfect.

one good thing is he seems to not like any of his kids or grand kids... but for some reason he loves me.

i heard him tell somebody that i was the only one that was worth a **** in the whole family. ***

I show 8 rigs, and 14 people (including the two already in CO.) That should be plenty of room w/ my rumble seat.

I think I may be missing a couple of people, not sure though.

sweet didnt know you had a rumble seat that will be good for wed/thurs.

DRAGOONRANCH

You don't remember Mr. and Mrs. Clause in Clayton??? :D

That should give us almost 7 seats (if we can cram some of the anorexic fellers in the rumble seat or you can use it as an excuse to get real close with J and break him in right and I even have some banjo music on the Ipod ;) )

Well, stoping this kluster fawk we will be calling a convoy shouldn't be too bad. I just got the speedbrake on order. :gigem:

Now to just get the gawdamm steel 19.5" inners shipped to the house so I can get the new shoes on. :angry:

Holy Shiite, Mohamed!!! I just went back and added everyone that I could find to the first post and we are setting at 17 people now. :D

Eric, a keg per night would not be out of the question! :gigem:

I doubt lu or jones will be there. I wouldnt count them out just yet, but i'd put it at like 10% either of them will be there, especially lu.

Either way, it's still a boatload!

Per my Colorado Roadtrip 2008 thread, I could not complete Tincup Pass due to snow on July 14th. The trail fooked up my ****, but would would not be a hard trail, mostly just scenic.

My internet research shows that they had high snowfalls last year and relatively low this year. Hopefully it will be mostly open.

Carnage canyon and Chinaman gulch are open all year...

google banana belt. The BV area doesn't get much snow, regardless what the rest of colorado is getting.
regarding "scenic drives" I don't think that's a good idea. Take the shortest, straightest route and enjoy the scenery once you get here. I typed out my thoughts on routes to take in a PM to Ed a few weeks ago, may get motivated to type it again later
Haven't talked to Lu. Thought SEMA was that weekend?
We'll start with a keg and see how that goes :D

SEMA isnt till november, I was going to go but it is during our monthly close for that month.

The route we decided on seems good, I've done every part but 50 out of pueblo before.

50 through canon city shouldn't be too bad. You get to go past the prison
