[BigSwede]

Not sure what you mean by "everything"...if my sleeping bag and pillow bounce around some it's no big deal.

I think he means the genset, tv, x-box, latte machine etc.

yes sir!!

no, i meant; cooler, spare tire, camping chair, tools, spare parts, etc
and yes, generally i would have my cooler, spare tire and tools on the trail, but those would be all tied down with ratchet straps and i dont think those would be too comfy to sleep on top of
Sure, it could be situated to fit everything necessary comfortably, but i would much prefer to have compartments built into the back for that, then a flat bed on top of everything inside its proper container.

Hey guys. Gonna have to skip out on the Moab meet... My buddies and I are going to Colorado to the FJ Summit trail instead.

[BigSwede]

I don't know which trail that is, but aren't most of the passes still be snowed in, in May?

The FJ summit is in July. I thought about going when I had the FJ, but 250+ vehicles trying to fit into a few trails around Ouray seemed like too much hassle. I like our little group much better.

You bring up a good point... I have no idea how long the passes will be blocked off. I'll have to bring that up in our planning meeting.

Well we weren't planning on attending the summit, but instead going on the trails that FJ summit uses in May... that is, if they're open.

No real trails will be open in may. Lower altitudes, yes, but not as high up as ouray.
July, absolutely, but not early spring.

Check this website to see when they have been open historically...

Depends on if we ever get snow. On occasion you might find some open high passes in May but usually not. Sometimes they arent open before august.

I'll probably book my spot at Pack Creek next month so hopefully I can get a better spot. Would like to be all fancy and have a motel room but cant afford it, I own a Volvo.
