Hello Everyone,
Great news, someone was gracious enough to offer up their cabin for someone on the wait list.
I only have a few spots left. RV sites 35, 40, 41, 42, 52, 64.
For most of these sites, there is plenty of room for several tents or vehicles with rooftop tents.
These are all located in the back section of the campground in the "group area". I really shouldn't even say that 90% of the entire campground is someone from SAS.
If anyone has questions feel free to give me a call at my office at 970.325.4736 or send me a message here. I try to check the messages here as often as I can.
The winter has been fairly mild, snowfall has been a lot less than expected, we think trails may open a little earlier this season. We are due for a possible 20-32" snowfall between today and tomorrow in the San Juans. That shouldn't have a huge impact, it's been fairly warm each day so snow is melting fairly quickly.
Can't wait for open trails!
Jeff

Please put me down for one of the RV sites.
@OlYellr my cousin is probably coming and I need a spot for him and possibly some of my immediate (wife, kids) family. I’m still down for one of your bunks.

Well dang. You’ve just doubled the size of my To Do list. I’ve been to Zapata Falls, pretty cool even in summer, can’t imagine in winter. Did a couple wheeled and footed loops through Penitente Canyon last weekend. Good to know about the sneks. I’m a runner and funnily enough, part of me would really rather run into a mountain lion than a danger noodle when I’m on foot.
Was in Chama last month and DEFINITELY plan on going back to take the train! Looked awesome.
Meanwhile in the San Luis Valley… not looking like a run day. Wind is blowing sideways.
Yeah I don't know why we are getting the South Western snow over on the Eastern Slope.

We only got 6" of heavy, wet snow this morning in the mountains west of the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico. Luckily our 40 year-old son was able to come by and help with the shoveling. It's getting a bit harder now that I'm in my '70s - I figure I'll only be able to do the shoveling for another 20 years.
Heard you might have gotten more this weekend… we did not get any snow, just rain.
Kinda miss getting snowed in for a week or so. I’m always prepared for winter to snow is in. Oh well…

Here's another rear shot of the same FJ40 - leading the SAS #1 Texas contingent over Stoney Pass on the way to Ouray. And a Stoney Pass bonus shot from the late '80s - that's as far as we could go that day in our stock '84 FJ60 even with chains and 4WD.

Looks like heaven, both shots.

As someone cancels the next on the waitlist will be notified.
Transmission/transfer case, rear main, oil pan & gasket, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, bell housing, clutch slave cylinder, transmission mount. All either replaced, rebuilt or at the minimum cleaned & painted.
Done
Trouble is, while I had the oil pan off I pulled the rod caps to check bearings. Most have a good amount of wear, #6 looked awful on the back side. All smooth though, couldn’t hang a fingernail on anything. Low compression and a wet compression test that says crappy rings, plus a head full of carbon and gunk …. I’m gonna drop my spare 2F block off at the machine shop and might try to get a rebuilt motor in my truck before SAS.
But then again, maybe I just run it and swap the motor next fall. Other prep work left to go: rebuild a spare steering box and install the front u-bolt flip plates. Maybe the dual battery setup if I can find a non-US air intake.
It never ends.

That is some amazing looking work. I love seeing Torque markings.Transmission/transfer case, rear main, oil pan & gasket, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, bell housing, clutch slave cylinder, transmission mount. All either replaced, rebuilt or at the minimum cleaned & painted.
