Done and thanks, any good Ohio IPA's?
Ya we have a few, I'll pick you up a little sampler of what Cincinnati has. Probably go with Moerlein Over-The-Rhine, Rhinegeist Truth, and MadTree Citra High. Our local liquer store "The Party Source" has a section of mix and match and I've been wanting to try their distillery's bourbon, so a good excuse for me to go and pick you up a mixed 6 pack. Let just hope I make it out of there.
 
@Get outside start the stopwatch and let us know how long it takes you! Hopefully you're finished before registration closes next Wednesday evening :)
 
Call ahead to campgrounds in the area. Most are booked up through August. If you find a boondock site you can always shower at Ouray hot springs. Even USFS campgrounds fill up this time of year.

Thanks, cant wait......I'm ready to roll now, 7 more days until we leave!
 
Quick question for the powers that be:

Looks like registration is wednesday 12-6 per the schedule website. What should we do if we arrive later Wednesday night or first thing Thursday morning?

We are leaving Denver Wednesday sometime but not sure how quickly we will make it down. Super excited for everything!
 
^^ We will have a short registration window early on Thursday morning as well.

Expect an announcement on a HIH7 Wednesday Night Opening Ceremony shortly. We should have everything finalized by later this evening. If you can make it, this will be a nice laid back event in town to kick off the 7th Annual 100s in the Hills.
 
I believe it is the Umcompadre National Forest. A really fun place to camp with the family is in Ouray, the 4JJ's+1 campground. Kinda the opposite of roughing it, but you're walking to dinner, shopping, and the hot springs pool. Also walk up to the box canyon falls and check that out.


And @mattafact no problem at all, I pull my trailer over that thing every year... you will be going so slow anyway that navigating the turns is nbd, just keep it in 1st or 2nd on the decents.

Just booked my spot at 4J+1+1 for the night of the 25th. Anyone else planning to be there? We can pregame and finish our rigs before the main event.

Just woke up at a rest area somewhere in Minnesota. Got a late start yesterday. Pretty easy, but long, day out of Louisville. We are stopping to meet some friends in the Badlands. Anyone have any camping/hiking recommendations in the park?
Also turned 150,000 miles on the odometer last night. I can't imagine any other vehicle that I'd strap a trailer to and drive 3000 miles to take on a 4 wheeling trip if it had that kind of mileage.
We're excited!
P.S. Gas mileage while towing is amazing. Even my seven year old daughter couldn't believe we filled up 4 times in such a short trip. I'm making myself feel better by saying that the taller tires have thrown off the odometer so I'm actually doing a little better than I think.

How many people are bringing bikes with them? Trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I would just be tripping on them the whole time.

Bringing mine. I think we will have 5-10 folks with mtb. Not many subscribed to the telluride mtb option though.
