I have to plan a stop in Durango to get some eats at this terrific greasy spoon: The Durango Diner- my mouth is water'n thinking about it.
Have they survived the shutdown?

Yessir- so far. Another greasy spoon right around the corner is Oscar's. Many debate at length for their preference of one over the other. Give both a shot and see what you think!

Wish we had more visitors to the area like you geanes.

I'm cool with that! Pick up Joey and head up to Sedona!

I'd be so down for that, lot's fun stuff to do out here as long as the whole state isn't still on fire (300k+ Acres burned so far). October/November weather is real nice

I'm cool with that! Pick up Joey and head up to Sedona!

It works cause i live right off i10 Surely the local Copperstate Cruisers would be on board to get some good group runs together

Id be up to run a few sections of the AZBDR. Ive run it on ADV motocycle, but want to run it in the truck at a slower pace to actually view the scenery.

I'd be in for that, there are some really cool things to see in the Sierra Anchas along that route. Ruins, mines, and I know a low key cliffside camping spot

We also have the AZ Peace Trail:

Home - Arizona Peace Trail

The Arizona Peace Trail is a 650 plus mile Off Highway Vehicle Trail in Western Arizona. The trail features a variety of recreation opportunities for the off highway vehicle enthusiast.

We just figured out some plans that coincidentally align with y'all. Plan to roll into Silverton area midday on 7/19 and camp through 7/25. Will likely get in a couple days on the trails and will keep up with this thread. Thanks for getting this started @geanes

I hope everyone has their HIH 2020 VirtuALL shirts ready!! Sounds like there's gonna be a heap of 100s around the area.

 

[abuck99]

At the risk of looking like clones with all our VirTual-T’s, yes will be proudly sporting them!

 

[jLB]

A flash mob of 100 series and HIH 2020 VirtuALL T shirts, or just random chance that we happen to buy the same vehicles & T shirts, and visit the same town on summer vacation?

 

[geanes]

Getting super excited now! 1 week from from tomorrow and I'll be on the road towards Colorado. Tons of last minute little projects to knock out. Put in a new NAPA Legend75 Series 49 AGM battery for nearly 2x the amp hours and deep cycle capability. Moved the pre-existing NAPA Legend75 Series 49 lead acid to the trailer and hooked up the electrical on it. Starting to organize all the gear and get it sorted before the weekend so I can pack up quickly and get rolling to Salida. Looking forward to seeing everyone over the next 2-3 weeks.

It was actually pretty cool having a bunch of people randomly wearing the #HIH9INSISER shirts on the last run last year!

I‘m very tempted to toss in some gear and make the drive out.

I can’t believe I’ll be leaving in 4 days! Time had really been flying. Can’t wait!!!

See you soon! I've got a ton of great Austin beer I'm bringing that we can enjoy in Salida!

Ugh, this sounds amazing.

 

[CreasyBear]

Has anyone been through the local towns recently? We want to come but with 2 small kids not being allowed inside or not being allowed to use bathrooms is a deal breaker.

How is Silverton and Ouray?

 

[geanes]

Is anyone coming down to Salida or Silverton from the Denver after the 17th? I'm placing my order for the Slee front skid and would prefer to not drive up from Salida if not necessary.

@AimCOtaco - you comming?
