If for some reason you don't show up on the first page, rest assured, you're still welcome to come. There isn't any hard and fast "official" roster for this event. The info you send to Jonathan is more for planning purposes and emergency info (contact and medical).... just in case.
There is no event fee or red velvet rope. If you realize on the day of that you can make it, we'll see you there! You don't have to buy a t-shirt or even say you're coming, but knowing you're coming makes the planning a little easier and having emergency info is important, but can be added at anytime. If you show up in a 100, you're in. If you paid for a t-shirt, it'll be here when you get here.
Wow, all I have to say is thank you all for the warm welcome! I talked with Andy earlier today and I'm going to put in some extra hours at work and try to drive out. If I can't, I'll be riding shotgun with Andy and meeting up with you all out there.
Talk about an awesome group of guys, I'm blown away!

Well if you do drive I've got you for one tank. My offer still stands to squeeze you in if you are in for 4k mi of my 5yo girl babbling (and on the first mile God gave us the iPod)... I got nothing for when the boy has a blowout though!!!

I know I won't regret it, I'm going to Craigslist a few things this week. I have a few retro's in the works so that will help. Figuring out the estimate for gas right now. I can't do hotels, so inflatable mattress will do. I just did a 14 hour drive and it was a piece of cake. ATL-ABQ shouldn't be bad at all.
Looks like I am going to be able to make this event... I've been wanting to hit the Ouray area for a while, and what better way than with a bunch of other 100's. I may have a few of the Spresso's FRB version 1 available for the parts sale/trade. I'm hoping someone has a full roof rack (especially the African Outback full rack) that they are parting with.

Cool beans Ron! That will be nearly all of the 100's from High Desert Cruisers. Glad you're going to make it too. My plan is to leave Thursday AM and return to The Q Monday afternoon. Taking the family? Pulling the pop-up?

Not sure on the family yet, it could be any combination from just me, son and me, or the whole clan. I will be taking the pop-up if the girls come along for sure, but may just tent it if it is Dude-trip #2 for the year.
At this point, I just took half day on Thursday, so I won't probably leave until 10ish the earliest. If it works out, I'll join the caravan.

Or a wide variety of trails to choose from if there are enough trail leaders. I'm willing to be a tail-gunner if needed since I've got CB and 2M as well as some wheeling experience.

We will be splitting the groups up into two trails per day. One will be a more scenic easier route and one a harder route. Paflytyer is going to integrate a fishing trip on one day which will make for a great change of pace. We will be discussing the trails next week and will post a schedule. I would like to keep it to less than 15 trucks per run.
OK Folks. The time has come to shut it down.
If you have been watching the thread vicariously but have not posted interest or sent me details I'd request that you consider joining us next year. Due to many factors, including environmental impact, logistics and permit requirements we are really at our limit for number of vehicles and people. If you are still on the tentative list, please make your final decision by the end of the weekend (7/7). I will be ordering shirts next week and need final quantities. If you have indicated that you want shirts and can not make the event I ask that you still pay for your shirts. I will ship them to you.
I will also send out an EMAIL next week to all participants. This will include the meeting location. Is anyone arriving on Tuesday or Wednesday that can "save" a spot for us? We have two areas to choose from and they are both first come first served.
Thanks everyone for the incredible interest. This is turning out to be one of the top viewed threads in Trails-Events-Expeditions and I expect it to keep climbing the charts. The trip will not disappoint and ultimately it's success depends on you guys! Bring a great attitude and you will have a great experience!
