And if you're going to get hosed at the pump, might as well get some enjoyment out of it.

John did you use a guide book or something to find out about the various campsites and such?

[JB]

I used several of the most common guide books that helped me find the trails. They also guide you through the trails using your trip-ometer to show different spur roads/things of interest. It would sometimes show a pay campsite location, but for the most part, I would pick a trail, then find somewhere along that trail where someone else had camped and set up there.

If you are planning on a trip like that, these trail books are a must. The atlas/roadmaps really are not that much help. Some sort of navi/gps is a must for me too.

Hey Krebs and PowerWagonBoy, we need some pics from your journeys to CO. I need some new trails and good campsites to hit up this year. I am leaving Sep 5.

[jerryg79]

[JB]

I am ready to get out of town. I picked up the camper shell today and finished up most of the insides.
