With the current situation down south, I've called up by my department to work OT while our SWAT teams heads out to help.
How does the 24th/25th or 1st/2nd of October sound?? Still time to catch the colors at the mid levels..

Either weekend would be fine for me. Can't wait to meet everyone.

I would definitely be down for a colorado springs meet... Yeah i am new here...But I just moved to the springs and I drive a 1999 white Ironman. I am 17 and in my senior of highschool. Post up when and where and I will be there...

Scott,
I'm a little confused. Are we going to Salida, BV, or just meeting in CO. Springs?
From the posts, it appears we're camping in Salida, is that correct?

After hearing the wishes from the others', we'll be camping in Buena Vista (or around in the area I know a few places, depending on if everyone wants an established campground or "rough" it) We'll figure a place to meet in BV and go from there...

Ok, here's the deal,
Meet at 9am Sat. Sept. 24th 2005 at the Subway Sandwich shop. You'll find it on the south end of Buena Vista, (South of Cottonwood Pass Rd.) on the west side of Hwy 24. The parking lot will be big enough. From there we can chat and figure where we want to go. There's several trails in the area and even some in the Maysville / Garfield area (Monarch)(Old gold mines and such).. None of the trails are very hard but are pretty scenic.. Anyone have better ideas?
Almost all of the areas are US Forest so we should be able to just drop camp anywhere after doing trails. We can do the camp thing and have fun around the campfire (Bring marshmallows), unless we NEED to have an established campgroung for some reason..
We should hit the aspens in full color so, it should be beautiful no matter...
As far as food, you'll need to bring enough for lunch and dinner on Sat. and maybe breakfast on Sun.. We can head into either Salida or Buena Vista on Sunday to make a lunch meet for those who couldn't make the trails on Saturday. Salida has a bit more to choose from. I vote for the County Bounty, it's easy to find and has good space available.
If you have other plans, please post them.. I want to make this a fun event and hopefully have a good showing.
If you plan to attend, make sure to update the calendar so it shows your plans and we won't overlook anyone.
Last thing.. Please PM or email me your cell or other contact number so we can have a list. I'll compile it and forward it to everyone planning to attend..
Morgan, does this work for you?? We could find a place easy enough for you to get to and you could camp with us on Saturday..
Super VXer
That sounds good to me, i will probibrly bring the fam with me, what time on Sunday for the lunch meet?
Drive it like ya stole it!!!

Noon would be good.. Time enough to break camp and then get into town and early enough to have everyone back home at a decent hour..

driver3.. you in on this?.. I know Sat. is football day..
Super VXer
Well I hate to say that my name is on the start of this... but it looks impossible for me this weekend... I'm going to be in Denver helping a friend move.. (I know)... but he's helped me in the past and if there was any way out I'd be in. I'm watching the posts here and I know the times if anything changes.. .I'm kind of mad and have been waiting it out so I've been quiet on this post. But for now I regretfully have to be on the out list... sorry guys... I'll pack my car with all my camping stuff in the event I can escape denver early...
Super VXer
It's settled then! You'll be there!
