Yes! Nice to see you this morning!

So about Imogene… Did you (or anyone else) happen to notice the new-ish , **Mazda Miata** that had somehow arrived at the main water crossing?? We were all scratching our heads over that one. It was barely dirty, top down…no driver seen in it.

If anyone happened to see the Miata actually moving on-trail today, inquiring minds would love to know.

this Miata is wild lol.

Just arrived at the Abram Inn. Met some Polish dudes in an LX and received a nice Polish beer. Good start, despite the rain.

I stayed there a year and a half ago. Great location for Ouray. We were in the room on the second floor right in front of the 200 with the snorkel.

Once again, got free rear icon coils for anyone in town. 1.5” lift. They’re going in the trash if nobody wants them in a day or so.

I will take them if you still have them. Where are you staying? We passed you on Medano earlier this week, I was in the black stock 200 with my dad.

Severe weather sirens just went off here in Ouray. Was that a test or for flooding? Don't usually hear thise in Indiana unless there's a Tornado sighted.

I assume it’s because of some storms in the county and the potential for flash flooding, but someone with more knowledge of the area might be able to provide more info. The NWS has this posted:

I spy something new here. Looks like a teaser shot from Slee on one of their shop cruisers. They also made mention on their IG that they were gonna announce and display 3 new products at LCDC. Anyone gonna spill the beans on Slee's new 200 series front bumper

Saw that bumper in person today. To me it's somewhat reminiscent of the old Short Bus 80 Series bumper - which is a really good thing.

No pictures to share? WTF!?!?! LOL

If it is what you say it looks like I'm super stoked.

Hey in Albuquerque for final drive up. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Also did the email go out for off-road app? I never saw it.

Safe travels today.

Please DM me if you did not get a code! I’ll need an email address, but we will get you hooked up.

If anyone has an extra spot at their campsite and wants some company on Friday and/or Saturday nights, please let me know! I can find dispersed camping on my own, but it’s more fun with friends. I can compensate you with beers (and maybe onX codes?), and I only need a level-ish space to park and pop the RTT.

Message you my contact info just incase you still need finding a spot to camp.

We had a fantastic day on Poughkeepsie followed by Picayune and Placer Gulches. Both Mineral Creek and Poughkeepsie were in great shape and still offered some fun lines.
