Rising Sun Rally

[Fitzgerald]

Really just thinkin' out loud here, but anyone thinking of going to the Rising Sun Rally this year?

With all the hardcore dudes going to Blanca, I thought some of us birdwatchers might make the trip up to Denver? Went 2 years ago and had a good time.

I might have family coming in that weekend, but if not, I'll probably go up for a few hours.

That would be a good time, I didn't realize it was going to be during the Blanca run... still rather be driving on a cool road (even if just to watch the birds) than talking about the cool roads sitting in a parking lot. Are you sure you don't want to mountain climbing instead?

J/K- lots of really nice folks and some killer rigs. Neat to see how folks build stuff and do some intelligence gathering. Too bad it is a 5 hour drive.

I will probably bring the family. We have been meaning to get up to Ikea, so this would be a good excuse to head up to Denver and kill 2 birds with one stone. We go there late last year, but still had a great time checking things out.

I might consider going. I'm not going to take my rig up Blanca ( no locker) so should be available.

Sounds good guys. I'll know wether or not I'm going by the time of our meeting.

Talked with several of you guys about the rally this weekend. I'll be going but won't know when until tomorrow (working out kid-sitting detail with the in-laws).

Hopefully we can carpool / caravan up there.

As Doug mentioned, the cool swap meet stuff might go quickly...

I'm going Saturday morning early, may try to do some lake/stream recon and fishing before the Rally. Anybody know some public water in the vicinity?

 

[Fitzgerald]

Dang..... My 3 year old has come down with a pretty bad cold (which I'm almost guaranteed to get ), so it looks like I'll be home this weekend tending to a sick little one instead of walking around the fairgrounds checking out Toyota's.

That's always a bummer, and I always end up w/ my sons cold too!
Dang kids and there germs! I have a three year old too! He'll be 4 by the time we move there.

It looks like I will head up tomorrow morning with the family. I'm not sure I will spend a long time there, but we will proabaly get there 10-10:30ish.

You could take Hwy 67 to Deckers then Sedalia and check out Cheesman Res. then the outflow of S. Platte below is Gold Medal water, spooky fish though. They both have special regs so be careful. http://www.denverwater.org/Recreation/Cheesman/RulesRegulations/

Chatfield and Cherry Creek reservoirs are up that way as well.

No personal experience on these waters.

I think I might have gotten something worked out for tomorrow. Send me a text before you guys take off in the morning and maybe we can caravan. Sound good?

 

[Fitzgerald]

...well unless you've washed your truck. I don't want to be the only goofball rolling up to the Rally with a filthy truck.

OK. I will text you in the AM.

My truck is dirty as all get out

Good turn out at the Rising Sun Rally today...some really beautiful trucks, and of course trail beaters like mine.

Cool. Really wish I could have made it.

Too bad, there was lots of Iron Pig eye candy:

Had a good time at the rally. I might have picked up a little something that Justin brought to the swap meet, as well

I took the fam to IKEA after:

Yeah, too many snotty noses around here, couldn't break free.

Looks like someone got a new bedroom set.
