June 4-7 Colorado Trip And Bachelor Party

[jerryg79]

I have about 8 tie downs and a few chains, so plenty for all of mine and most if not all of another.

so are you a definite?

Ed/Eric, how about some more logistics:

Are we only camping in one spot? Where is that?

Even though I'm not driving at all, lets make sure everyone has CB's in the tow and trail vehicles. I've got a CB with a cig lighter plug and a magnet mount antennae. I'll also take care of the 2m HAM

Cooking? Are we eating out? Cooking at the campsite? I've got a propane cast iron 3 burner stove.

Are we just bringing one tent?

Etc...

I'm excited!

I was just worried about getting everybody nailed down on if they were going or not so I could try to make sure we had enough trailer space and towrigs. So cut a canadian some slack!

Camping:

Looks like Turtle Rock campground is the ticket. Off CR 375 outside of Buena Vista

I may have an extra cb or two stashed away in the shed somewhere, but not sure. I definitely have one that will just get swapped from tow to trail rig.

Bring your grill. I should have enough propane tanks to keep up cooking for no bigger of a group than we have. We haven't got into food planning stages yet, but maybe I can get somebody to pick up some slovaceks from snook for one night, but if we are going to just do hamburgers and such, the camp ground is just out of town so we should be able to pick up supplies there.

I have my campground condominium that I can bring (Coop should remember this one ) and it will sleep all of us (we will just have to get real cozy is all, but that's the idea right??? ).

i may have a cb or two that i can bring, but i dont have any extra antennas

[jerryg79]

Let's plan to go into town for dinner at least once and goto at least one bar for some local flavor (ie lefthand oatmeal stout)

This place got showers and chitters?

I got cb and magnetic antenna.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

I never could find any info other than there is a rock climbing area there/nearby. Maybe Eric can update us on this.

sweet, I'll get J drunk and try to get him to taste a bit of the local "flavor", he always comes back with good stories

[jerryg79]

any interest in spending a couple of days in buena vista and then heading to telluride/ouray area, there's alot of stuff out that way too. About 180 miles southwest of buena vista.

Just making suggestions, dont know if there is enough to keep us occupied around buena vista for 4 days, but ive never been there.

[AggieTJ2007]

got brake controller and exhaust brake installed ready to go, this trip is going to be awesome

Not sure on the elevations in that area, but I have gone to CO in mid June before and snow is still blocking alot of the trails....might check to see what is really open.
