Yes. Comfort between 8-8:30. Unless of course @CenTXFJ60 changes the whole plan the night before

Proud to be an honorary member of the Denver Chapter of the Texas Convoy. I think we'll head down and camp Friday night somewhere near Westcliffe, then catch you whenever you arrive to start Medano Pass. We'll run Medano, camp on what looks to be a dry dusty pancake of BLM land, and then head to Classic Cruisers with y'all.

 

[CenTXFJ60]

Yes. Comfort between 8-8:30. Unless of course @CenTXFJ60 changes the whole plan the night before

We need to collect phone #’s and start a text string. I have most of everyone except @cstav86 ,@FZJ EightE and then one or two out of austin. If I’m not in your contacts and you’re convoying with us out of SA or Austin then shoot me your info if you’d like to be on the text string. Thanks. Jimmy

Checked out some maps last night. We kind of want to do Marshall Pass after Classic Cruisers. You head back south out of Poncha Springs and head west after just a few miles (you're only backtracking about 12 minutes). It's a graded dirt road to 10000' that's an alternative to Monarch Pass, and it rejoins US50 in Sargents. I'm not dictating what the group does but letting y'all know in case anybody wants to skip the 20% grade and hit some dirt. Looks like it adds 1.5 hours.

On the same token we may do Owl Creek Pass as well - cuts off Montrose and goes from Cimarron to Ridgeway. Easy dirt road but very pretty, adds about an hour. Great majestic views of the entire San Juans Range as you come over the pass and head down into Ridgway.

For what it's worth, it looks like the Google Maps route from the BLM camp in the morning, to Classic Cruisers, and on to Ouray is about 4.5 hours. We're happy to split off from the group and meet in Ouray, but if anybody wants to hit the dirt with us let me know.

This is possible. I’ll have a guest riding in my 80 who could just drive another in the convoy. Let me inquire. Who has the truck now and where is it?

I am bailing on the additional 80 purchase....too clean for my intended use. Thanks for the offer.

Casey,

Maybe a miscommunication. You have me on your list. I won’t be tagging along to your place. I going to try to meet up with y’all at Classic Cruisers. So hopefully we can keep in touch on ETA.

 

[TCruiser93]

@JohnnyFish @TCruiser93 @bottombracket I'm gonna leave my house in NWA in time to rendezvous with @CenTXFJ60 and the San Antonio crew in Mason. If ya'll want to meet up and travel together from Austin let me know!

I’ll be trying to meet up with the group at Classic Cruisers

I’m in for Friday, riding solo from Dallas. Last year, I missed the party on Friday night due to leaving home later than planned and running into the down pour outside Amarillo. Not missing it again!

What part of Dallas are you leaving from? Time?
@ChickenDaddy, myself and (I think) 4 others will be heading out sometime Friday morning from the north side of Dallas.
