Colorado ZuZoo 2006 Convoy!

[WyldWeasel]

Okay I will not be able to join y'all on the 14th because I'll be coming into Utah from the Nevada side then. BUT I will be driving through Glenwood Springs in a VX (not mine, just bought a Proton for the hunny and am going to be trekking it back to California) on the 3rd/4th of May, (Lord willin' and the crick don't rise).

I'd like to try out this Bayou which has been mentioned. Anybody willing to give an out of towner just passing through directions on how to get to the Bayou? I'll be staying at the Rodeway Inn in Glenwood Springs. Probably getting in late on the 3rd. I will probably check out the Bayou on the 4th before getting on the road.

Piece of cake...

Basically reverse these directions (taken from the hotel website):
I-70 West exit 116, first light take a left on the frontage road (Highway 6) go 1 mile hotel on the right. I-70 East exit 114, stay to the left go under highway, right on frontage road (Highway 6) 1 mile east on the left.

This is to the south of the river/I70 on Grand at that same exit.

Wyld,
I was in Glenwood this past weekend, and the Bayou had a sign out front that said they didn't open until 4pm. I'm going to call them today to see if it was just a weekend thing, or if that's normal. I'll let you know what's going on when I find out.
If they are open, when are you thinking of going? If you would like the company I can make the trip down to Glenwood (I work in Basalt - about 30 min away, and live in Carbondale - about 15 min away) to chow down with you.

Wyld and the Colorado Zuvoy,

I just called the Bayou and they are only open from 4pm to 10pm daily (4pm to 12am Friday/Saturday). That kind of blows lunch for the Zuvoy and I wasn't sure when you where thinking of going Wyld, but it may be too late for you too.

Any one got any other ideas for the Zuvoy? Bimati, are there some good local restaurants in GJ that we could decend upon? The Denver contingent could still meet me at the Hot Springs in Glenwood for some pics and meet and greet, then we could head on to GJ for lunch (about an hours drive). If lunch in Glenwood is still the plan I can hunt down a couple of other places to eat.

Let me know.

Two words:

Dos Hombres.

Glenwood West exit, then backtrack on the frontage road 1/2 - 3/4 mile.

Although, I thought I had read that the meeting location/lunch would be in GJ. Not that it matters much to me as I will already be in Moab >;- )~, just trying to help out...

[WyldWeasel]

Gosh, thanks for the heads up, everybody. You rawk!

Maybe if we make Glenwood Springs before 10 pm on the 3rd we'll have a go at the Bayou. If not, we'll check out Dos Hombres on the way out. As far as knowing when or where we'll be we're going to be doing 760 miles tomorrow (mostly straight thru Kansas, but I imagine things might slow a bit once we hit Denver). And since the Proton I just bought has a tranny pan and oil pan leak, and some other things the Isuzu dealer here needs to look over before we can get on the road for a 1400+ mile trip, there's no ETA on when we're heading out.

But, that being said, they definitely know what a VX is. I had just pulled into the Isuzu dealer's lot when a salesman came over and asked "You want to sell that? You want to trade it in? Those things are rare, especially that color." He was very disappointed when I said I had just bought it and was driving it to California.

Tone,

Here's the info:

Where: “Hot Springs Lodge & Pool” parking lot : Glenwood Springs, CO.
Directions: I-70 West to Exit 116. (you can't miss it).
http://www.hotspringspool.com/

I don't see an address (other than a P.O. box) on the site. I'll email you some phone numbers right now, Tone...

Plan is we're just gonna meet, chat, pictures, wait a while for others to show up, and then probably just take off for lunch in GJ. I guess we'll just call Bimati along the way and iron out where we're eating, etc...

Rick (other GJ VX'er) - will we see you there? Would be good to meet you even though you may not go to Zu...!!!
