James/Loc,
If you fellas decide to go to Hot Springs I would like to tag along if that would be ok.
Please keep me posted.
James, how are you coming along on your bus?
I'd like to stop by and see it next time I'm in Nagodoches
Loc,
Chris and I will be in South Fork area during the week and weekend of august 5-10. We wiill have the Jeep and the Airstream 270 Coach. The Rubicon is ready for the trails.
Patrick, I always have an open seat in the Jeep, since my wife will not ride with me....LOL.
The coach is comming slow, but that means business is good !
Come by anytime........James
Alpen Rose is the campground in Durango. We are planning on arriving the afternoon of Saturday, July 31st. We have made a reservation for 6 nights. First day of Jeep trails will include a drive up to Silverton and then up to Animas Forks with a run up California Gulch to Hurricane Pass and Lake Como and then Corkscrew Gulch. Then we will climb up Black Bear Pass to the top of the run for a nice view down on Telluride. We will turn around and go back down Black Bear to US 550. Second day of trails will include Camp Bird to Imogene Pass from Ouray to Telluride and Ophir Pass back to Silverton. The actual first and second day of trails will depend on the weather. If there is still fight left in the crew after that, we can run the Alpine Loop or try Stoney Creek to the headwaters of the Rio Grande. I am leaving several days open for riding the train or whitewater rafting for the adventurous. If you are gluttons for punishment we can always find more trails to run.
Made reservations this morning. Really looking forward to this trip sounds like it will be alot of fun. If however it's not I assume everyone can fault Loc. lol
Speaking of which, Loc we are in Dallas if it's okay by you maybe we can follow along with you as I would guess you will be traveling up 45 from Houston. That way if we have any problems you would be there to resolve them for us. What do you think?
Patrick,
You may not want to follow us, but you are welcome to. We will probably leave Houston around noon (through Ft Worth around 4:30 just in time for traffic) and drive at least to Amarillo or Tucumcari before spending a short night in a roadside park or truckstop. The plan is to be in Durango no later than mid afternoon Saturday.

Loc, Ya bad time to pass thru Dallas. I will probably get out of here earlier to avoid that. However, since I will be out ahead of you if I experience any problems I'll know your behind me for support. (Just goofin with you!!!!!) We are though really looking forward to the trails with our jeep. And the opportunity to get to know some of the members better. Wish July wasn't so far off!!!
Loc,
We get out of an Airstream Rally in Colorado Springs, the July 25th, and we have the Rocky Mountain Vintage Airstream Rally ( which we are hosts) at the failrgrounds in Salida,Co starting the August 4th. We are REALLY trying to figure out how squeeze "Fat Bealgle 4X4" in. We are in, tentatively.:D
Do I need to call Aspen Rose now, or later. Did they say they were booking fast????
Chris / Jim,
Alpen Rose is closed for the season. I called and left a message and I am still waiting for the return call. I finally broke down and make a reservation on the internet. I think Ted was concerned that once everyone found out he (actually Jan) was coming that there would be a run on campsites in SW Colorado. I hope you can make it. I need someone else to give me a bunch of crap in case Ted gets tired.
Patrick,
I've got your back. No way that pristine XLII has any problems unless there is a crack in the plastic shield.
