I've missed every meetup since I've been an owner...

I'd like to try again -- if only for a beer somewhere.

Jack, funny that you mention this. I PM'd Moncha the other day to see if we could do a colors down in Pueblo so that he could make it and he was going to check with Mrs. Moncha (Laura) to see when she might have time. To keep everyone in on it I would say that we do a "colors" meet down in the Pueblo area and meet up with Moncha for a little visit.

Scott, can you chime in on this one?

sounds great to me guys...i dont know how far everyone is willing to drive...but i know of a great drive by my parents house outside of colorado springs...

its actually fire access for firefighters to protect the springs, but its a great drive because it goes along the peaks of the mountains right outside of the springs..

starts in monument because i know that area best, ends up in garden of the gods which is a beautiful area by itself...

would be a decently lengthy drive, probably 3-6 hours depending on how fast we go and how many stops we make...

and it would be a dirt road most of the way...so plan on getting your vx a little dirty

[pbkid]

mark any news on when we can all meet up??

at this point it would be great to sit down somewhere like CB and Potts just for a brew at the least...

maybe someone could even talk beej into stopping by just to stay in contact..

Did Phantom Canyon Road from Victor to (roughly) Canon City on Saturday in my pristine-clean VX. Looked like it had been attacked by a rampaging horde of crazed dust-bunnies by the time I rolled into Canon City. Great little road though. Washboard... railroad tunnels... wooden bridges that turn 90 degrees in the middle... lots of nice color and cool rocks.

The road pbkid was talking about is definite rougher for those wanting a bit more excitement. Mt Herman Road to Rampart Range can be a real... joy... with lots of single-lane, cliff-hugging fun. Once again, great drive though and Rampart Range Reservoir is really nice.

ya, its a really cool road....im sure your familiar from black forest =)

its not all that bad, if you stay on the fire access....yes its edge of the cliff, one lane cool road....but its not that rough...ive driven it in like corolla's and stuff like that before...

so its nothing thats gonna beat up the VX...

however, i would be down to see some new stuff also....

just trying to get something organized...

I'm sorry for a late reply. I have been in some intense training classes and trying to put together an international sting that has been using all my free time.

We still want to do this. I know that it's getting late but maybe the weekend before Thankgiving? Maybe Sunday 11/23/08?

[pbkid]

working in retail, i doubt im gonna be able to get any time around thanksgiving...or any time between thanksgiving and christmas is a nightmare for me...
maybe we tried just a little too late this year?

it may be easier to maybe do a colorado vx meet and dinner?

out of denver or springs??

i think there is a CB and Potts in south denver...c470 and broadway i believe...

I don't know where this place is, but I could probably find it, given some Google-time. In any case, I'm still up for a get-together.

I'm in the same boat as you, though, but for other reasons. I work in traffic reporting, now, and Thanksgiving is the biggest travel day of the year. We're expecting our servers to get beat down. Oh, and my boss is going out of the country, so I'm all alone!

Thanksgiving day is probably going to take me up towards Greeley, since that's where the family resides right now.

Before that? Well, Moncha's 23 Nov day would probably work.

[pbkid]

nice, well if you wanna just meet up and do some lunch with the vx's im down...just let me know

[Moncha]

That's a great place. If it works for you all. We're in!

[pbkid]

i know you all have more normal jobs than me so the weekends are probably easier for you...

however, i wont be able to get time off that close to thanksgiving...

my only day off before thanksgiving is friday the 21st...

if this doesnt work for you guys due to having a real job then thats fine...

just figured it couldnt hurt to throw it out there...

[Moncha]

Are we up to trying for the 23rd? or do you all want to wait 'till after Turkey Day?

[pbkid]

whatever you guys wanna decide....

if its after turkey day i can probably join you...
