Here you go....

Thanks for the post Docmike. Is there a bypass to the wall or do you have to do it or turn around? As for the rest of the trail, any real issues or just take your time as long as you're not afraid of heights?

I'm following along with your adventure as I'll be out there a couple weeks later and appreciate the experience your group has. Thanks

I've got mine wired up to AUX 4 currently

I’m hooked up to the ignition wire. Tried reaching out to you guys on channel 20, guess I’m still a little out of range…haha
We’ll be headed west early Friday morning!

I just ordered a 4 gallon rotopax......just in case we need fuel.

Found another use for my roof crossbars.

Your JT is sooo clean. We will fix that next week. Get some Colorado dirt and mud up on it.

Then grab 71 south LIMEN CO. to ROCKY FORD CO.
Grab 50 WEST to SALIDA CO. where I have a room booked for MONDAY night.

Update from me: I outta be able to join for the first 2-3 days, doubtful I'll be able to make the entire trip as I've got other priorities calling since just moving to CO. I'll know 100% on monday the 25th, but I'm pretty sure it should work out. I'll be in my 2DR JK, ~2.5" lift, 35s, sliders, on board air, winch, and will use my ground tent.

Couple questions though.
-I have my HAM license and a CB in the jeep but no GMRS radio. Would anyone be willing to lend me a handheld for the time I'm out there for this trip?

-In addition to my good attitude should I bring a bottle of bourbon or scotch to share with the group?

Much appreciated!

I've been blessed with a taste for both and prefer it neat. Unfortunately for me a replacement liver didn't come with the collection I've amassed, so I've vowed stop buying bottles and share as much as possible.

If you are staying in Salida you are better off just going straight to the campsite on Tuesday. People that will be meeting in Buena Vista will be traveling through Salide to get to the campsite near Telluride. Another option is to get in touch with @DocMike and just coordinate when they will be passing through Salida and just join the convoy at that time.
