It was good having you guys join us on Stoney Pass. A little rough for a trailer but we managed without issue. Looking forward to next year already.
It only took us 8 hours to go 110 miles.
A big thanks to @4Cruisers for leading the way in his mighty 40.

The Saturday run up Imogene and Ophir passes were a blast. Imogene is my personal favorite in the area for the views. Everyone made it out on the "Poser Rock"
for a pic. @MTNMAN133 literally posed with his 60. Jimmy's newly finished 60 looked great out there too.
@Dirtydawg will post some of his amazing shots once he processes them.
These are all the Cruisers that were on the trail together.

Wonderful folks in a fine assortment of older vehicles located in a spectacular location.

Hard to improve on that situation.

Thanks again!
 
I'll start with these taken with my wife's camera:

The first photo was taken on the ascent of Engineer Pass, from the Ouray side.

This shows one of the tight switchback turns on the descent of Black Bear Pass into the town of Telluride, with @Mr Cimarron in his BJ40 (don't you just love the color?) and @The Machinist in his FJ60, who did a fantastic, tight 3-point turn with his (relatively) long wheelbase.

By the time my wife and I topped Blue Lakes Pass on our way back from our hike to the Blue Lakes we were the only ones left. That's our FJ40 (lower right corner) patiently waiting for our return.

Hey everybody. Sorry is has taking me so long. I finally got a chance to start working on stuff. Here is a link to a really cool 360 video. This is part 1 of our start up Imogene. I will post more as I get them uploaded. Hope you enjoy!

 
Had an awesome time in Ouray. Big thanks to Casey @POTATO LAUNCHER for mending it all together with the shirts, stickers and banners, they turned out bad a. And Onur @beno for hooking it up for our impromptu raffle, I know I'm not the only one who smiles when I see boxes of OEM parts :)
Also thanks again to everyone that came out. Really glad to hear that the rigs did great too, durning and from the meetup. The San Juans are a special place, and I was really happy to see all of the cruisers rolling all over the trails.

Just getting back to civilization so I'm still sorting through pics but here are a few off my phone..

MJ,

Sorry I missed you guys. We were cleaning out the trailer all afternoon to start loading it back up for the move.

Hey Jason no worries man. I got your voicemail when we were already coming into Laramie. I'll have your shirt in my rig so come get it next year in Ouray!
 
Well as long as a 100 SAS or a 165 series is allowed... I may play!

Absolutely, the more cruiser muts the merrier!

* not saying you won't get some grief from all of us driving the old greasy cruisers :hillbilly:

I have a lot to do in the next year... But Hailey turns 16 and wants to come. So, it'll more than likely happen next year for us.

Just got back to taxachusetts, a nice 32 hour ride. Pretty sure we beat our arrival time by a few hours

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, it was a pleasure.

I'll setup a google drive tonight and post instructions so everyone can upload all their photos/video to share
