Buena Vista Weekend 7/26-27

[Isotel]

Sweet, Id vote for Option 2 or 3, I like camping in the woods, and for Free

Lets put it to a Club vote at the meeting.. If your not going to be at the meeting let us know what you want here!,, The other thing, is We can always camp in different spots, Normaly we meet at Gunsmoke for Fuel and incoming rigs from the springs at about 9 am..

Fuel is expensive as it is and the fuel costs are cheeper in BV than at the Gunsmoke by about 15 cents when I was there over the 4th. Be sure to fuel up at either the Western station in Woodland Park or the one in Divide since they have the best price on fuel around.

What day are we running Carnage, Sat or Sun? Not sure if I'm camping or not.

Dam Tim, all you care about is 4 wheeling..

lol, I dont know, i think thats going to be for me and you to figure out, it would be cool to run it the same day that the rest of the group runs Chinamans..

Can we get a Head Count! Who is Going, What trail would you be interested in Running in the BV area, and on What day?

Saturday is better for me but I'm flexible.

I checked out the Road 270 camping this weekend. 270 is approx. 3 miles south of the road that you turn off of in Nathrop to get to St. Elmo. If you continue south on Hwy. 285 past the St. Elmo turnoff, go under the two water pipes over the highway and you will soon come to the 270 turnoff on the right.

It is a couple of miles on 270 to the National Forest on good, graded road. There are numerous huge campsites on this road, and, as someone else mentioned in this thread, the camping is dispersed. The added benefit of camping here is that there is a paved shortcut back to the St. Elmo road so that you don't have to drive all the way out to Hwy. 285 to get back to the St. Elmo road.

I will not be able to make it to the club meeting tomorrow, so I hope to hear in this or another thread where the group has decided to camp. I may leave early on Friday, July 25 to secure a campsite for the group, so I need to know the final decision or recommendation. If no decision is made, or I decide not to leave early, I'll travel with the group leaving on Friday night. However, I am planning to leave earlier as of now. If anyone else wants to leave early, let me know.
