I am here, it’s about noon on the 2nd. Other than me and an unattended travel trailer just as you make the left to the spot off of 315, it’s pretty vacant.

Awesome sir, shall see you then!

 

[Neal A. Tew]

OK everyone. Listed camping area is confirmed.

I'd love to know when you arrive. I'm the oddball in the Red Avalanche. If for some reason I'm not there, look for Overland Bound flag and see if there is any info nearby.

 

[darjo242]

And this is me in case you roll up and I am off on a walk or napping somewhere.

How was the ride in? Muddy after the weekends' rain?

There was a couple puddles, nothing too nasty though.

I go wash my truck, that should bring more mud.

Good thing I got here early. 2 guys in a red truck just rolled up asking when I was leaving so they could take over the area for a bachelor/bachelorette party weekend.

What'd they do when you told them we had 25 trucks coming?

Told them if they got enough beer and food for at least 30 more people, they were welcome to stick around.

Did they move out of the area? I'd like to get some sleep at night.

Can't wait! See everyone on Friday!

 

[Hourless Life]

Thanks Neal for all of the offline info. First chance I've had to get onto the forums. Been crazy busy since we arrived in Denver a couple days ago.

We would love to connect with some of the OB folks in the Colorado area since we are here. If we do come it will probably be late Friday and we'll have to leave sometime on Saturday. I've got a meeting with Goose Gear on Sunday morning. Also depending on if Juniper Overland needs me on Friday or Saturday I might not be able to go. But we're definitely going to try. I'll text you if we're headed out that way.

Either way, we hope everyone has a blast, and hopefully see y'all there!

During this time I will ask individuals to share what they have on board their rigs. We will share our First Aid Kits, Fire set ups and safety, water systems, and kitchen set ups. These items will be paired with the lesson on the "Rule of Threes". We will also take a look at tool kits important to survival and off roading success.

Sunday AM trail runs to be decided. Please see me for info. For those that have never been to Fourmile, I recommend you get in the Bald Mtn Loop series on Friday or Saturday. We could run again on Sunday if there is the demand.

This schedule is fluid and very subject to change!

It seems like I can make it happen for this weekend. Thinking about getting there on Saturday morning, or maybe Friday evening.

Anyone else leaving from the Denver are at any of those 2 times?

Yea!

I just packed the wattmeter for testing your radio. Let's not forget to use it.

Cool! My plan is still very fluid, I will make sure to keep you up to date.

And by the way I was able to get a brand new radio from Midland (still haven't tried it yet).
