is Ironton first come, first serve for a spot? I've never been to Ouray. I'm thinking of grabbing a spot at KOA just so I have something.
It's just an open area. I think there is a ghost town there. No facilities just camping in the forest kind of next to the hiway.

I'm coming up from Ventura, when do you plan to leave? I could use a caravan.

Excellent mattressking: 8/6/17...maybe 8/5/17, I can't locate my notes but have asked Sheepdawg to let me know what we decided upon...but it's one of those 2 dates. Hope these dates work out so that you can join us, always best to caravan.
Sheepdawg (post 94) and I are going to do 2 days of trails in Moab on our way over, which is the reason for our early departure. After Colorado, Sheepdawg is heading one way but I'm heading back to Ca., so we can also consider caravaning back to Ca. also. Let me know if any of this works into your schedule and we can get down to some serious planning.
EDIT: Update...we will be leaving on 8/5/17.

Ah that is a bit tricky, I want to leave that early but as of right now but Aug 6 is the end of my lease. I can try and push to be moved into a new place before then. I'll keep you guys updated with my status.

Gotcha...moving ain't easy or fun. Hope you can make it for the caravan. Let us know...even if it's at the last minute your welcome to join us, otherwise we'll see you there.

After finally sitting down and looking at what dates might work for me, I'll probably be leaving the bay area 8/7/ and may end up catching up with your group on your way out of Moab. I was thinkning that I'll most likely swing through Moab for a few days on my way back to Ca;... unless I end up going north to Glacier NP or something equally as far off course.. lol
Do you guys have a rough estimate as to when you'll expect to arrive at Moab? I'm coming in from Massachusetts on 8/4, but the plan is to roll straight into Moab then head to the SAS afterward in the same fashion. Would be nice to link up if possible

Our plan is to leave Ca. on 8/5 and arrive in Moab on 8/6. Select a camp spot etc on that date and then do some wheeling on 8/7 & 8/8. Head over to SAS on 8/9 and be ready to rock on 8/10.
EasternYeti, when you say 8/4...do you mean that's when you will be leaving Mass. or is that when you plan to arrive in Moab?

I'm leaving mass on 8/4 but we'll be driving straight through to Moab taking some shifts behind the wheel of the rig. It'll be quite the task but we can rest up once we're out there. I don't think anyone else is coming from the East so we're just blitzing it

Everyone forgets the space in the other @trout bum 's name lol. My brother did the same thing in the wagon run thread lol
The rubicon and this less than 3 weeks apart... super stoked for both
Anyone bringing their 40? I have now taken off an extra two days from work to attempt to drive the BJ40 up there. All depends if I can scramble together the last few things that I need to fix or add for the journey. Mainly a top!

Cim, my son is driving his 62 with a 5speed, wants to take his time. ( guessing 65mph) you might want to convoy.
65 is light speed compared to what I would be at. 55-60 on flat ground. No telling what I would be at going up.
