Scott, Ouray IS beautiful. If you have a chance I would definitely stop for a few hours, if not the night, to take everything in (there is a clothing optional natural hot sping there - Orvis). The drive from Durango to Ouray over the "Million Dollar Highway" is unbelievable. Just make sure that you stop to check out the views because if you take your eyes off of the road for a second you could end up at the bottom of a VERY deep canyon.
Good route choice.

The drive over the million dollar highway is really fun in january with snow.
The giant metropolis of Ouray
Btw, if any body remembers C.W. McCall (did the songs Convoy, Wolf Creek Pass, etc.), he was the mayor of Ouray for a while.

Awesome place. Dave and I always try to go through Ouray, and have stayed there a few times. Had one of the best steaks in my life there at the Outlaw restaurant! Was so awesome we went back a few yrs later! Colorado beef

Scott, I took the Ouray detour last year. DO IT! The scenery is spectacular and the road is a blast to drive on. I may take the detour again this year.

Scott a convoy sounds great. As of now, I plan to leave on Friday the 13th. If all goes well I'll be in Durango,CO sometime Saturday... I plan to sleep until Sunday
. Then off to Moab after breakfast.
Anyone up for a convoy through north Texas ?

Looks like it's shaping up to be a pretty solid 15 VXs. Think that's more than the last 2 trips, awesome! Nothing cooler than seeing a long string of VXs!
Plus we have:
2 Troopers
1 Amigo
1 Rodeo
1 Passport (if Dallas makes it)
1 4Runner
1 "something"...don't know what Zeus is driving these days
1 Ford SCREW Raptor....oh, wait...which one here is different than the rest?....
Anybody know if these guys are coming:
~Alan (BigMeat)
~Paul (phines)
~So-CalVX - hasn't logged in since early January.
~jeannepecan -Travis just confirmed they're not coming.
~tomdietrying - I know he was working on it.
Thought this info might help in trail planning for the "VX/Zu run"...that's Tuesday 5/17, correct?

I'll know this coming Wednesday if I'm signing up for May term or waiting until fall term to take my core class, so if I do wait until fall term, then I might just be able to make it to Moab!
Super VXer
Sue, I'm trying to figure out a way to get there... work is making it tough because I have some major deadlines that week. If I actually finish ahead of schedule, then I'll make the trip. I hope it works out!
Guess that makes me a definite I-don't-know-yet.
