Gman, the time to meet is not written in stone, please don't pressure yourself to be at point A at a specfic time. The goal is to get to Ouray and have a blast!!! Make sure you have a good rest before starting out, we both can leave around 6 or 7 and still be in Garden City and then on to Co, we have plenty of time to get to Ouray. The trails and campground will still be there when we get there. Remember this vacation is to chill and screw the stress!!!! Looking forward to being on this vacation with you and meeting people in the group!! Sometimes you just need to stop and smell the roses, but don't touch those darn things, they got thorns!!!!!
