Great... I'll take the tent spot with the hook ups though I don't have anything to hook up. There are no tent sites left for those dates and I forgot to call for reservations.

i/we need to figure this out before i leave town... again... Tuesday 29. not sure how "transferring" sites work but it seems like it should be possible. i left a CC to reserve, if i can get my head above water i'll call them and ask how to do it. i'm not on mud much Mike, i'll be in touch via email or something when i know more. fyi the hookup site was like 10$ more a night or something, but beggars and choosers come to mind ;)
 
I'm in with my son, got my own spot Thursday and Saturday. Taking Mikes spot Wednesday (he will not need it until Thursday) still looking for a spot for Friday. Spending Tuesday night in Lubbock driving straight up on Weds. When is the group making it to camp?

just got off the phone with 4j+1+1... transferred my reservations to Mike and Steve.

Mike, you have my spot 6 (hillside), w/hookups for aug 6-10... apparently i need a service charge for 3rd sublet :P
Steve you have spot 7 (hillside) w/no hookups for aug 6-10 as we originally planned

i left them both reserved with my CC for simplicity, you will need you own to pay when you get there. they want 48hrs cancellation or i/we/you will be billed... fyi.

at this point you guys can cancel/change whatever you want, i fly out tomorrow and won't return till after you guys return.

hopefully i'll make next year :(

I will cover 3rd sublet charge plus spot 6 for Aug 6-10. :D

Jeff & son Matt are in that spot on Weds night. I will be arriving Thursday evening.

Thanks for being flexible on this John and we will see you soon. Have a good trip.
 
My reservations are for Thursday thru Sunday....I will try to head up Wednesday (I may stay in Montrose) and catch the Group Thursday Morning.
 
I just got back last night from HITH, and it was great up there. Don't forget ponchos and a spare tarp if you are tenting it. We were camped about 9 miles from Ouray, and it poured most afternoons and evenings. Not to mention yesterday at 5pm when I went back to pick up the trailer after Black Bear, it was hailing as well. The place looked like a swamp/mud pit. Enjoy, sorry I couldn't make it up there with you guys, but the dates worked out better going to HITH.
 
I'm coming for Thurs - Sat. Driving the HJ-60 (12H-t) for its second trail ride since the engine conversion. Staying at Centennial campground up the road, I'll find you guys in Ouray on Wednesday evening.
 
As of now, I'm thinking of showing up at the North Portal probably around noon-ish.
 
I'll be heading up 8ish so I can meet up with Justin in Durango for some MTB and then planning on lunch at Ska around 1 or so. Then will plan to head up to Ouray after that!
 
I'll have my 2M radio on HDC_2 (146.40). KE5LED.
 
Have fun and post some pics!

I'm curious to hear what the weather's doing up there.
 
Where's the pics? Internet connectivity in Ouray must have been bad this year. :D

It was good times indeed. The weather was great, no rain this time. It sprinkled in Ouray here and there but not enough to get anything wet. We ran Black Bear, Mineral trail/Cinammon pass/lake city, Yankee Boy Basin.

Sorry I missed you guys. I was up Dallas Creek Divide just on the other side of Yankee Boy Basin. I heard Ash on 146.40 a few times on my way up on Friday; was not able to connect. I was hoping to come across you guys again on Sunday. Called on 146.46 and 146.40, all was quiet.

Good to hear everyone had a good time.
