My name is Edy I live in Arvada CO. My rig is a 1998 Chevy Silverado 2500 Big Block. It would be good to have an OB group based in Denver!

You are correct!
We just got a group going in Springs and need to work on Denver. @JDGreens, @Charles Drives Boris and @Fearless are from up there and have been making the trip down.
@Edy Coyote , would you or any others like to suggest a time and/or venue for an informal gathering to try to get something going?

I just saw this, I'd be happy to set something up. I just took a new job so things are a little crazy the next week or two but I'll try to figure something out.

I work in Fort Collins, but I live further south. Is the cars and coffee the one in the Flatiron Church parking lot?

Hey ya'll. My wife and I live in Fort Collins. It would be great to have a group to wheel with. The last two years we've been going by ourselves. Is there a Northern Colorado group on here somewhere?

There is no active OB group in the Fort Collins Area that I am aware of. There was one in Denver that fizzled out a year or two ago and now a lot of us traveling to Colorado Springs.
If you are looking to go out with a good group of people for a day run you should check out Larimer County Four Wheel Drive Club – The Mountaineers. They are a local 4x4 club in Fort Collins that does not care what you drive as long as it has front and rear recovery points. :)
If you give me at least a 1.5-week notice, I usually can get away for a day of exploring.

Oops,. It was 2.5 months ago and I didn't know you as well then.You forgot me! LOL
Anyway, I'm in Denver too. Let's plan something soon

Cool, thanks for the invitation to join! I’ll keep this in mind. Heck, maybe we could get a northern colorado ride planned this spring and do some local trails and meet everyone
Cool, thanks for invitation! I’ll check it out.
Maybe we could get the northern colorado OB members to do a ride this spring. We could meet everyone in the area and have some fun wheeling

You forgot me too and we have been on a trail run and camping!
I really think that it's just great to get something solid going anywhere up and down the front range. I belong to a 4x4 group that has members up and down the entire front range. There is a lot to be said about having a larger pool of people to count on if you want to plan a trip. Everyone of us have different schedules and it sure would be nice if you wanted to plan a trip and instead of knowing just 5-10 guys/gals that might be able to make the trip or 25-50 guys/gals that may be able to go. I'm not sure how many belong to Front range 4x4 but I do know it's a great group with a large enough pool, that if I post a for a run anywhere along the front range there usually at least between 4-5 or more show up. And there is always opportunities to join someone elses run.
It will be great to get something going up north, and centrally but it also would be good if we all got together (all three groups) (like) (June Jam type event) so that you can meet others that might be up for the same trip your wanting to do. Let me know if there is something planned for northern Co. Cause I want to explore that region too.. In fact once they relax the stay at home order enough let's plan something in the northern region. Personally I would rather meet at a trailhead and do a trail just because I think things will still be kind of restricted for a while. What do the rest of you think? Maybe touch on this towards the end of April.

I hope the "stay at home" stops at April and does not bleed into May.
I also wonder how many more mountain towns will follow suit with Gilpin County and block any non-resident from getting through to access public lands?
Yeah I heard about that. I hope that people will start taking this seriously. Before they start hassling everyone and enforce the order. People are overcrowding open space parks to go "hiking" when Governer Polus actually means walking in your own neighborhood keeping a safe distance from each other. At this kind of compliance, the order might stretch to June. As much as I hate staying put I certainly don't want the whole summer shot. That would really crush the economy, no matter how much money the government tries to throw at it. That's just watering down the value of the dollar. The effect won't be good.

Hey, everyone! I live just south of Denver in Englewood and would love to get a group going.

Heck you might live near me! We will have to roll together once they ease the stay at home order. My Daughter and Son-in-law traded thier Toyota Tacoma and thier Rubicon for Fj Cruiser out of necessity once they had 2 youngster, then they had a couple more and they let go of it for a Ford Excursion. I really liked the Fj Cruiser. Very nice rig!
