Cool! My son will be thrilled to play with him and my son is 10.
I was just talking with the wife about going to the LC Museum first then looping back to Ouray. It’s closed on the weekend though, right?

Thinking of taking this route to Heritage Museum and then heading to Ouray. Where is a must stop off that route?
Zion National Park for sure
There is also 4 corners but it's kinda lame. More like a check in the box attraction.

You'll drive right past Arches NP. Definitely worth a stop, especially if you'll be going through in morning or sunset hours.
We just realized we have to make this another separate trip so we can really enjoy it. We are thinking maybe in April as a shake down run before Ouray in August.
Like @Zjohnsonua said. There is just so much to go and do around here. Can't try hitting it all at once. Hell I have lived in Colorado for 6 yrs and Im still doing/seeing new places.
I've driven past the Land Cruiser Museum way to many times. Definitely need to finally stop and check it out for a day.

The Heritage Museum is a must see. We spent a solid 3 hours in there just reading and poking around the vehicles, but if you can visit and catch the staff for some info then you could easily eat up a day - likely more, depending on what stage of Cruiser-itis you have. There's just SO MUCH info there. I gave up trying to soak it all in and plan on going back.
The US as a whole is a beautiful piece of turf...and that's aside from the hundreds of parks, monuments, rec areas, and forests that have been set aside. No way to see it all in a lifetime. Road trips give you a fighting chance for making a dent in what we each want to see. The West happens to put a bunch of jewels in a dense area. Lucky buggers, the lot of you, that live out there. I'd move, but alas, I'd miss being able to be at the Gulf in a few hours.

I spoke with Kurt @cruiseroutfit for SAS2. He gave me the impression that tours have been arranged for people outside of the regular hours if planned out in advance. I’m not sure if this would be the case but would be worth the ask in order to get a chance to check it out.

On the waiting list 
Not sure if the dates will 100% work, but I’m hoping. I grew up hitting this KOA several times over the years off-roading.
Could be a family trip or just be my 11yr old son and me. If I can’t make the list, maybe I can crash the party a day or 2 “unofficially”
Always could use more 70s right?

Assuming it works with my schedule, I can definitely arrange a tour after hours, nights, weekends, etc. It's available 24/7 under the right circumstances.
