Snowpack is getting cleared folks.
This was taken today at the Ophir Pass summit.

Only this crew would look at that pic and say "It's clear, awesome!"

(southern boy who thinks a few flakes means the end is near)

A little snow wheeling in August is good therapy. I can't think of a better group of people to hang out with on vacation.
I'm kinda biassed though..

I think it's safe to say that we won't have a burn ban this year.

Did these cancellations already have spots booked at the KOA? I'd love to slip into those spots if that's the case..

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

I am not responsible for KOA reservations. You can sure call and see for sure.

Ophir Pass opened 2 days ago, so no worries as long as you stay on the road, which should be easy to do.

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Black Bear Pass me thinks

PRE-COFFEE ORDERS....(@POTATO LAUNCHER approved)

Last year I only brought a few extra bags of coffee and sold out in minutes. This year I’m taking pre-orders. If I sell at least 75 bags of coffee I am bringing an EPIC prize giveaway...I mean EPICALLY SUPER COOL...I’ll give you a hint, it’s coffee/camping related!

The bags will have SAS logo on them, I can do whole or ground. Order needs to be in a few weeks prior to make it all happen and the sooner the better. Send me a PM and I’ll send you payment info. It’s $12 for a 12oz bag of whole or ground Med roast premium Honduran coffee roaster by me. For $15 I’ll throw in a patch and sticker (while supplies last) and for $21 I’ll also include a mug with the stickers/patch combo and/or you can add a mug for $6 to whatever.
NOTE: If you don’t come, I’ll mail you your goodies for the additional cost of the ride. If for some unforeseen reason SAS doesn’t happen and IF I haven’t already prepped your order, I will refund you or ship to you for the extra cost of the ride.

As always, morning coffee is FREE during the event! Looking forward to this again!!!!!!

Ok that just sounds awesome, pm incoming.

I can assure each of you that SAS #3 will be happening. Trails will be there no matter what. If mother nature throws us a curveball
we will still be there. The area is just too beautiful and the cooler temps in August will be welcomed.
So if anyone is having doubts I can promise you that I will be there regardless of trail conditions. Wouldn't miss the greatest gathering of Cruiser and Mud people for anything.
Casey..


PS. Those of you coming from the East and will be near Amarillo on the 2nd of August please send me a PM. We are planning another BBQ Dinner and camp out at my Barn. We can Convoy up together on the 3rd..

Should the trail leaders contact @Mesa Woman directly to see how the trail interest is shaping up? I was thinking of a longer, scenic route from Ouray, to Purgatory Ski Resort, over the mountains to Rico, then to Telluride for a late lunch. After lunch, Imogene Pass back to Ouray. Or a somewhat shorter route over Ophir Pass into Telluride, then Imogene Pass.

John I think that would be excellent. The pass info site that Dave @NookShneer shared is updated regularly and will be a good reference.
@Mesa Woman has a list of trail leaders so contacting her in regards to trails is best.

We’ll be there if you are! I just didn’t want anyone to think I’d shaft them. I’m SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!

Are folks interested in visiting the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum on the way to or from the event?

Should we try to get a group tour for either side of the event?

I will be in Moab the week before the event. Me and daughter have full intentions of going up there at some point during that week. Would be awesome to go with a group. Just tell me when!
