When are folks headed out to RRC? I want to make sure the live photo link is active.

A long trip for an old bastid. I'm thinking maybe Tuesday.

As in a week from tomorrow? Sounds like a logical travel buffer.

I'm leaving Wednesday for Durango

Leaving Thursday morning. Caravaning from PMB.

Leaving Thursday morning from ABQ. Car's all fixed, and flat towing it in air conditioned comfort.

So are you actually driving your car this time?

I sold my Bonanza and bought an old Cessna 150. If I flew the 150 there, I would have to leave even sooner.

Hope for a tailwind to Colorado - which is likely. That flight back with some wind on the nose could be a LONG one...

Heading up Thursday morning. Google says just over 10 hours. And yes...I will be enjoying the comforts such as AC while my 914 follows close behind.

Jim and I will be heading up Friday. We should be at the motel around 2pm.

I just inventoried my tools and spare parts for the trip. The hardest part for me has always been crossing the Mojave. Booooring!! The plan is to make it to St. George Utah the first day. Yeah, right.

That is a "hot spot" for sure. You can do it - good mid-way point.

Can't make it this year
Hope everyone has a great time.

What time is the caravan heading out?

Eric told me he wanted to leave around 9 am. Wants to make it to Ray's for lunch.

104 on the thermometer in Baker when we went through last Wednesday afternoon. Better than creeping uphill in a line of traffic at 116 degrees, which I've also experienced around there.

Pieper and Diane will be joining the event Friday night. Sorry for the late notice. Happy to join everyone.

I'm getting itchy............

I've crossed in July to deliver a car so I'll know what to expect. I can take the heat, it's the loooong boooooring drive that makes me nuts.

Looks like colder weather will be moving in on us.

You all have have a nice and safe event, and make sure to post lots of pictures.

Perhaps I should bring the car with the best heater?!

...and working windshield wipers

I can't have both - it is one or the other...

My wipers would do a sloth proud. My heater is nonexistent. Rain tray is also MIA, so looks like we're covering things up manually.

FYI Thursday afternoon I plan on visiting a friend in Woody Creek. If anyone would like to join in we plan to meet up at the Woody Creek Tavern. Probably for an hour, then drive back.
I'll have a rental car for the ride

From their web page:

"At the Woody Creek Tavern the Mexican food is the best in the valley-the tamales have attained near-mythic status-and the strong, blue agave margaritas are the best in the Aspen area.
Neither credit cards nor reservations are accepted."

Just threw a couple plastic bags and a towel in my tool bag

Rain? Cold?

Are we looking at thundershowers thurs/fri ?

Hey - anyone planning or interested in doing a hike over the weekend? Thinking a 5-miler/~2 hour easy-ish hike but could extend or reduce to suit whoever wants to go. LMK. Thanks

If you get cold warm up in the HUGE geo thermally heated public swimming pool. We stayed in GHS on a trip to nebraska. Don't forget to bring your beach attire.

I might be talked into that. When and where are you thinking?

Cool Mike. I have zero plans that this point. Figured I'ld talk to the locals once I get there and figure out when based on the driving schedule & weather.

I'm down for that as well. I will have driven enough by then and be ready for a hike. I have a rain coat, umbrella and everything. My bag is packed and the car is ready (as far as I know). Up at 5 out at 6, Vegas by noon and St George a few hours later. OK, well, that's the plan so far. Subject to change.

Don't forget to set the alarm

......a week later.

Hi Sharon - is the event auto loader running yet?

Mike (aka Gint) is going to do it tonight.

Excellent - I know a few folks are on the road today but most will be driving tomorrow.

Ready for hook up and launch! Hopefully on the road by 6am!

had to get rested up before getting on the road but we're just now leaving Portland headed for Red Rocks see you soon

I'm in St George Utah. Half way there. See you all tomorrow.

Mike is working on the photo thread. Photos aren't posting so he pulled it offline until its fixed.

Have fun and be safe guy's!!! Hope to make it next year

Supposed to be wet in GS tonight...

Caravan leaving PMB at 9:00am. Heading to Ray's in Green River, UT for lunch. It would be great o hook up with any CA teeners heading East there (Elliot if you leave around 8:00?) and head in. We should get to Ray's around noon.

Caravan currently consists of two men driving 914's, three pussy's driving trailers and one NorEaster in some whacked out rental car (with air conditioning, real heat, wipers that work and cruise control... aka; another pussy).

Checked in around 1 and drove up to Woody Creek for lunch; cool and cloudy. Was raining

Traffic flow west on 82 is badddddddd

Checked in about half hour ago. So far, the nicest 914 in the parking lot. A total of 1031 miles in two days. I might take an extra day going home.
