This will be an “off the cuff” event. These are the suggested hotels but meals will be dependent on the COVID situation and of course your level of comfort and risk. Parking lot shenanigans the same. There are no group hotel reservations - call or go online to reserve as an individual unique person. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Please let me know if you plan to do your own thing in place of the organized food/meals. Thurs Sep 10 Montrose, CO, Red Arrow Inn & Suites, 1702 E Main St, Montrose, CO 81401, 970-249-9641. Dinner 6:30pm at Horsefly Brewing patio, 826 E Main St, Montrose, followed by shenanigans. Fri Sep 11, drive to Durango. There won't be an organized lunch so BYOL. We'll stop in Silverton for around an hour if you want to find lunch there. Fri-Sun Sep 11-13 Durango, CO, Caboose Motel, 3363 Main Ave, Durango, CO 81301, 970-946-2518 ask for Maureen (if she doesn't answer, leave a message for Porsche 914 group and she'll call back) Fri Sep 11, 5pm dinner at James Ranch Grill in their outdoor under tent seating, 33846 US-550, Durango, followed by shenanigan-agains Sat Sep 12 drive is probably this. We'll have "lunch snacks" like chips, apples, veggies and cookies. Sat Sep 12 dinner BBQ at Moorman’s, 346 Horse Thief Lane - 7.3 miles north of the Caboose - turn right at the stop light - then right into South Dalton Ranch. (We ❤️ Moormans) followed by she-nanigans. Sun Sep 13 Hasta la bye-bye. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) This is the t-shirt link. It’s an order and pay and Custom Ink ships so even if you can’t attend, feel free to order a shirt. *shirt ordering is closed* This is, above all, an opportunity to connect with friends and deal crud about our cars, as always.

I haven't asked the hotel in Montrose about this yet.
If my wife comes, we'll be towing behind the Sprinter. There is no way in the world that my wife will drive the Sprinter (or anything else) on 550. So I'm going to need to leave Sprinter in Montrose and come back for it. Anyone else have this challenge and has made arrangements for your tow vehicle? |

Anyone else have this challenge and has made arrangements for your tow vehicle? When I was a kid my dad drove our old converted airstream bus over 550. One of the most memorable trips we ever had. Coming out of Durango, bus started vapor locking on the way to the top due to the mechanical fuel pump bring on the engine and the tank being some ~40ft behind that (and we think 914s have it bad) My dad winds up pulling a 300 or so point U-turn on that skinny ass road but in order to do so a 12 year old me is hunched over the open engine bay spraying WD-40 into the carb of the 454 to keep the engine running. Pretty sure my mothers heart was stopped the entire time, she doesnt do well with cliffs. Anyways, back to Durango, dad installed a secondary electric pump on the tank end and a few hours later we were back on the pass (last time my mother allowed us to go that way) Seriously great memories!! |

We did Red Mountain Pass with my then 16 year old son driving our van and towing our tent trailer - on a Bike the Rockies day with bicyclists who thought it was just fine to ride 3 abreast. My wife is NOT a fan (although Mike really did just fine). |
