No such thing..... But trout are a susceptible to all kinds of invasive species. They thrive in cool, clean water. Whirling Disease almost destroyed the rainbow trout population in Colorado and surrounding states. It put a huge dent in the tourism industry and hurt the economy as a result. Some folks earn their living as fishing guides and this is their resource for income.

I think it's important for us to minimize our impact to the area and the ecosystem as much as possible. Whether its fishing or just trail riding. That's what keeps trails like these open and tourism dollars incoming. That's the best way I can explain it with sounding high-brow. The fishing, hunting and outdoor industry is one of Colorado's greatest resources, without it we can't do all the things that we love. This event included.

Tru dat dawg! Kinda hard to express these feelings without sounding like a tree hugging granola eating hippie. But I'm right there with you. Seems like trail riding and beer go together around here all the time. And because of that, you can't hardly go anywhere seeing destruction and trash.
 
I am looking for a good deal on a camping trailer. It would be awesome to have one for this trip. Will anyone be there with one for sale!? This is me hoping...
 
Jons adrenaline has been a major temptation as a CO "souvenir"... I'm hoping he sells it soon!

I have a couple of serious potential buyers out there. If it does not sell I'll have it up there and available to be towed home by one lucky guest. No not a raffle Item, well, if you wish to purchase $14,500 raffle ticket we can work something out.

Just got the guide to Colorado Backroads and 4-Wheel Drive Trails book! 10 minutes with it and this guy is ready to be there already! I'm already wondering what trails we are taking, where we are camping, and so many other questions!

I lived in Colorado my 5th grade year...A LONG TIME AGO! and grew up in Washington state. I have lived in Arkansas the last 20 years, and man do I miss the mountains!
 
Nice trailer Cowboy. This is my multipurpose junk that I'll be hauling.

Just looked at the weather in Ouray! It's literally 15-20 degrees cooler there than it is here right now. It wont be any cooler here come the first of the month either. Man I need relief from this heat! I may never come back home! Anybody have a job in Colorado for me!
 
OK guys. I make a few updated to the first two threads. Sorry if any of you were feeling neglected. I am never purposely ignoring your PMs or thread posts. They just get lost at sea sometimes.

Please look at post one and make sure you are green if you are coming, that means I have all of your info.

If you think you'll bring something to the potluck please let me know too. It doesn't need to be extravagant by any means and what is on the menu already looks incredible!

If you want a shirt now in your last chance. The final order will be submitted this weekend. I'll post up the design as soon as I have it but it will be very similar to last years.

Very important: if you can not make it and don't want your shirts, tell me now. I am happy to ship them to you but I will expect everyone who has indicated they want a shirt to pay. This is a cost neutral operation and none of us want's to be out of pocket.

If we can get through all that the rest will be butter! I'll be at the FJ Summit all of next week and won't be on here much so please field questions to Paflytyer, Bluecruiser or MtnAddict. Look for an email in two weeks with the camp location and further directions! Cheers everyone and see you in Ouray!

I am headed out there today. The East Fork Fire concerns me slightly, but I'll look into once I get there. The area has received some good rain over the last few days. Owl Creek Pass was closed, but as of yesterday is back open. I called the ranger station to confirm. This fire is located in the East Fork, which stinks because that's where I like to fish, but its in pretty harsh country and not moving fast. It's not raging, just creeping. I'll be camped nearby and fishing the Middle Fork, so I'll get a good look at what's doing.

There is a very likely chance that we'll be in Stage I fire restrictions. Please, please, please...... if you are a smoker, quit before this trip;) or only smoke in your vehicle. No ashes or embers flicked out the window. Actually, under these fire restrictions, it's illegal to even smoke outside. Familiarize yourself with fire restrictions and be careful. The men and woman who fight these wildfires are willing to die to save our lives and our structures...... and all for an annual salary equivalent to a well built 100 Series.

Some current fire info

I'll give a live update if I get into cell coverage...
 
Just wanted to show how firm my going is. I just updated my Facebook status with the fact that I am going! If the fact that its almost 40 degrees cooler in Ouray right is the only reason to go, it's good enough.
 
Hopefully the monsoon will set in across the state and the fire danger will decrease. The afternoon thunderstorms are welcome, especially to my yard...
 
The to do list gets longer the closer we get...

Ouray prep
- change rear rotors and pads
- swap 865 for 866
- change front pads
- crank Tbars to level
- alignment
- grease bearings
- Rotate Tires
- grease all joints
- change oil
- cycle trans fluid
- clean MAF and TB
- change heater hose T's
- clean axle vents
- mount frontrunnerroof rack
- fab new awning mount
- Exterior lighting/cabling
- mount LED lights inside truck
- speaker box foam
- fix tent zipper
- mount flashlight to console
- remount IBS
- install scan gauge

Why do I feel like I need a time lapse like the Cruiser Outfitters Death Star Build?
