Need me some Elevation ... (1 Viewer)

[KOWBOY]

O'ficial White Trash Colorado Trip departs Elwood 2 weeks from today.

Flyin' outta Staten Island tomorrow and gonna get Rubi and 'er Kamper all geared up this weekend for the adventure.

 

[M-80]

You suck! We don't leave for Colorado until the 7th. I am looking forward to some cooler weather! Silverton's average temps for August are 70/38!

 

[KOWBOY]

Gonna find me a little lake right below the treeline ... at the end of a 4WD road ... with just enough room to park the Rubi Kamper on the shoreline ... and DRINK!!

 

[Domek]

next year sir!
...that's all I've got to say!

 

[KOWBOY]

HOLY SCHEDULE CHANGE BATMAN!!

Been home 2 days ... mowed the grass and packed the Rubi Kamper.

One phone call from the Bossman and now gotta be headin' to the airport in a coupla minutes to fly back to Newark airport to fetch the Trusty Ol' Comp'ny Truck outta the long-term parkin' lot ... and head South. No more New York!!

Gotta be in Charleston, SC for a pre-job meetin' on Tuesday ... fly back home Wednesday ...

AND HEAD TO COLORADO THURSDAY FOR 14 DAYS!!

Damn good thang nobody scheduled to meet me up there or this last-minute change would be bad.

And did I mention our illustrious Vice-President/Mechanic/Welder is jumpin' in the jeeper and ridin' along?

Stay tuned ...

Hey Kowboy, what area you guys going to be at? Silverton?

We have a group of about 5 rigs headed around the same area next Friday. Hopefully we will be in the Silverton area toward the end of the week.

If you're remotely interested in seeing some scenery (other than the lake just below the tree line) let us know. We'd be right prowd to hang out with ya.

'Preciate the offer John ... I been keepin' up with that there thread from the get-go. Y'all gotta helluva trip planned.

Meanwhile, me and Josh ain't got no plans atall. Our primary goal ain't coverin' ground in the jeeper ... just keepin' the cooler stocked.

Who knows ... we might still be hangin' out on Medano Creek when y'all roll thru. Stop by for a brewski if'n ya see us.

Y'all be safe.

 

[texastoy88]

Thank you Sir. Truely hope to see you guys. Y'all be safe! Take lots o' pics and post 'em up for everyone else to be jelous.

 

[KOWBOY]

Like young'uns on Christmas Eve ...

Me and Josh are sittin' dead-on-ready.

We're headin' out 'round 0730 tomorrow ... gonna swing into the beer store 'cross the border ... then buy us an Oklahoma map at the Kwik Chek just up the road in Achille ... and then take Okie backroads all the way to Colorado.

Stay tuned ... will update this thread as cell phone coverage allows.

 

[Fireman]

If you get into any trouble in Okie land give me a call.

 

[Texican]

OK it's been 20 minutes where are the f'n pictures?

 

[KOWBOY]

Roadtrip just wouldn't be worth a damn if'n it didn't start out at the beer store.

Second picture is goin' over a neat ol' one-lane bridge by Choctaw Casino near Durant.

 

[KOWBOY]

Had to pull of the road in Troy so Josh could yank down this ol' power pole and claim the glass insulators.

 

[KOWBOY]

Somewhere near Joy, OK we seen this modern art deal out in a Fella's field. We suspected he'd been on the dope when he made it.

 

[KOWBOY]

So here we sit ... at the Townsman Motel ... a deluxe 5-star facility in Boise City, OK.

We done traversed 'bout 520 miles of some of Oklahoma's finest back roads. Some were good ... some weren't so good ... but all were fun. Went through countless small towns and some damn pretty country ... and some damn barren country towards the end. Only covered 'bout 40 miles that weren't two-lane.

Actually sad to see so many of the lil' bitty towns are just closin' up and shuttin' down. A piece of Americana that can never be replaced ... and is never seen from the big highways and biways.

Damn glad we got a chance.

Be campin' in the high country of Colorado tomorrow night ... somewhere.

 

[M-80]

Now this sounds like my kind of trip. Y'all be safe.

 

[DHONDAGOD]

Excellant.....

We are alive headed to Tincup

I remember doing Old Tincup Pass many years ago just above Mirror Lake - one of the most scenic places on Earth IMHO! You guys have FUN!
