Official Colorado Colors Run 09 - Ouray: Sept 4-7th, 2009

[Turdle]

Did everyone realize they have free wi fi, so if u have your lab top we can get online in campground, I was pretty excited about that!

Yeah--it was awesome to surf in the tent.

However, it is very slow. Especially during "upload time" when all the people are trying to load to their respective forums and blogs--lol.

14!!

Although Rick and Char have not been in this thread much lately, are you still thinking about coming?

Marshall? Going to bring the Ranger??

A cell phone list was mentioned earlier in this thread. If everyone will PM me their cell numbers I can compile the list and then send it out to those who have confirmed they are coming. If your username does not have your actual name in it please include your first name as well. Thanks. I will send it out towards the end of next week or earlier if I get it together sooner.

Well I guess you have at least one space to buffer you from Gregg. Y

:bsnicker:Eric, I hear a Bear calling your name, he is still hungry.:

Jon, you might be happy to be in your own camp site anyways. It might be hard to tell the difference between me & my Uncle's snoring, and that Bear munching on Eric's chicken legs.

 

[techieman33]

That bear won't be interested in me I'm to skinny he'll want someone with meat on their bones like you Gregg

 

[gmanpaint]

LOL! Whatever Foghorn, Bears prefer chicken.

Brian, now that your going to be there on Friday, think we can get an itinerary for the trails started?

Depending on the weather on Thursday, I was planning on running to the Alpine Tunnel. If the weather is bad, we'll meet you noonish in Ouray.

On Sunday, are we going to stop in Lake City for lunch?

I am not going to be coming into Ouray since Ophir trailhead is on my way up. If anyone wants to join me for that meet at the trailhead somewhere around that time, call me if needed for a more accurate time.

Lake city should be about lunch time so yes. That is what we did last year and there is a nice park in the center of town with picnic tables

Ted, was that from the 2nd half of that mine trail that I bailed on Monday?

 

[Tbars4]

...Yes it is....I believe it was CR14b...

 

[gmanpaint]

We wont be in town till the late afternoon Thursday. Friday Morning we will get on the Explorer band wagon. Now I can kinda get an idea of where we will be and when we will be there, thanks!

 

[Brian1]

What time do you guys want to meet Friday? I dont see a big need to meet at 7:30 (that is more to beat traffic on BlackBear Saturday). Maybe meet a little later at 8 at the Rotary/Ice Park?

 

[Scott B.]

We probably should meet at 7:30 - that will give us more time for introductions and checking out trucks!

 

[chad551]

We can check out rigs at the campsite Thursday evening over a beer or 2 or 3, or you get the idea

 

[gmanpaint]

Now I have to figure out where to MOUNT my laptop!

I would like to meet for Breakfast Friday morning in town, if anyone is up for that. My belly demands food a few times a day. It tells my brain to make my body fall to the ground if I dont feed it. (Hypoglycemic)

I figure I am going to have to get up pretty dang early to get in line at the showers, than drive to town for some grub, so, 8 am sounds better to me.

There is a restaurant next to the motel (in Ridgway.) I'll be there between 6:30 and 7:00 for breakfast.

Some of us aren't camping.

 

[chad551]

Sorry forgot about that. Maybe the campground and hotel are pretty close? Would be nice to do a meet and greet Thursday evening.
