Hello all--
Well this thread has really taken off which is cool to see but also these last couple of months has really allowed me to take a step back and relax from all this planning and why the event started in the first place.
I started this "gathering" 4 years ago with the notion of loving Land Cruiser's and wheeling. I really wanted to just wheel with like minded people. I didn't want anyone to pay or feel excluded like other events that are capped. I didn't want to make any money for doing these but after growing each year it has been more and more difficult to organize and try to accommodate everyone's requests. I really enjoyed seeing the large number of people and all those 200's and heck even having Toyota and ARB join us last year was awesome. In the end though life is always busy... work schedules/demands, kids playing sports and just needing a relaxing getaway. LCDC has turned into a non-relaxing event for me.
For year 4, I'd like to tone it down and get back to the original idea of taking our 200's out and just wheeling.... No big sponsors, no start times and trail sign ups. If you love Land Cruiser's and want a relaxing, fun filled couple of days with good friends and beautiful mountains then the 4th annual LCDC is for you.
This year's destination will be Telluride, CO - July 25-29. The goal this year will be running any trails you like and making your own evening activities. We'll still get together every day to hit trails but I won't be making any sort of schedule. Telluride is a beautiful city with lots of options for kids, food, hiking, biking and camping.
As always Slee Off Road will be sponsoring again and we'll have 1 organized dinner for the group. I hope to see you there and we can enjoy our cruisers and great trails together.
