July 27, 2022 OURAY Trip, planning and plotting thread

[3VOLVE]

We got Colorado, Texas and Arizona in the mix. Virginia is welcome too! I got a guest room where you can crash before we depart on Tuesday.

Seriously considering it and thanks!

Any time. The regular crew is super chill. We wheel hard and have a good time. Ouray is the Alps of the Rockies. In my opinion it is some of the most beautiful parts of Colorado. I see you have a few Jeeps, so you are not new to them. First time to Colorado?

I lived in Parker, southwest of Denver, from 2008-2011 and usually vacation at least every other year since. Drove my JLUR to our vacation in Vail last September to hit Holy Cross. It was a blast!

Definitely want to get out there again, take in the scenery, and hit the passes!

Perfect! Then you know the drill!

I would like to see how much bigger the XL is, but the annex is really nice addon! Let me know if you want any help setting up the tent. It is a bit tricky to get your hands inside of it when you are installing the rails.

 

[DocMike]

Good deal. It should be big. It sleeps 4+

We will be in. We are just about 20 minutes south of Durango. We have been running the Alpine loop for years. Looking forward to it again this year. Also there really isn’t anything challenging about the loop other than Poughkeepsie wall. Respect it but enjoy the views.

 

[DocMike]

Nice. Just want more cool people. Shit, if we have 20 JTs...awesome. I don't care if Tacomas go. My buddy may bring his Nissan Xterra with straight axle swap.
At this point we may need an event t-shirt. I may have to bring the good bourbon for this one.
My goals are:

Well organized
Solid comms
Good time
Cool people
5BOH trails
ZERO drama
Safe trip


Don't care of guys or girls or wives or husbands go. I'm in. I spent $4,800 on my RTT and rack today. People are taking off vacation time for this.
Brand new? A stock JT will do these trails.
We are wheeling and camping and drinking at night. y'all wanna sit at a fire with me and swap stories? Show up.
I got no time for egos or pissing contests.
Want to take your Prius? Show up.
@Summitdan will attest....the only time we see drama is when we try to help others.
*he tried to rescue a stranded F-350 til local drunk woman became involved.

I have done Ophir, Imogene and Yankee Boy. You want to take point on Black Bear or The loop? By all means.
You commit to going? No man left behind. We will get you through it.

I'm bringing me and my bluetick hound. May bring a lady, we shall see.
If I can meet and hang with as many of you as possible, I am down.

Next year? Moab? Rubicon? Shit. Wheeling is life. Let's do this.

Outstanding. And I was already bringing the good scotch. I agree. All welcome. This will likely be my only trip this year without the family, and am looking forward to some adult conversation. It hasn’t been mentioned, but I think we can leave politics home for this one. We don’t all agree on everything which is perfectly fine, but we should be able to come together over 4x4’s and camping.

 

[DocMike]

I concur.
Unity through love of wheeling. For the love of all that is sacred.

I can take point on all of it if you’d like. Lol

Unfortunately we won’t be camping. We live close enough to drive so we might not be there for the whole thing but definitely BB and the wall and Engineer obviously.

 

[DocMike]

I'm down for whatever. I have done Imogene and Ophir and Yankee Boy all solo. Black Bear will be a first.

When we get closer to the date, we will post a GMRS channel and you can use that to link up with us.
