Well one fire for the group is all we need anyway, doesn't matter much how many people are there.Quote:

true true...a lot of times we go out to dinner as a group it seems... may change this year with the economy though...Quote:

Just to clarify, if we are camping at the group site at Portal, do we need to pre-register?
Not a 100% sure but I believe so.Quote:

OK, just talked to Portal, at the moment they only have Billy Oliver and me registered (besides Tom)...they would be please if y'all would call up and get reserved for the Group 'C' site May 10-17 (departing).
Yeah those of you who may remember my frantic post about getting everyones name on the list for D, it was because they were going to take the spot away cause I was the only one staying there as far as they knew.Quote:

crncnn, you guys know you guys can always find a place to ride ;)
Crncnn and Ascinder, it goes without saying. You have a ride if you want one.
Peace.
Tom
pb it don't cost no money to reserve your spot. Nothing is payed until you are there...so, no need to wait.Quote:

Todd is keeping it a secret!:bwgy:
But I am sure it will be a good one!
Is the VX run going to be Tuesday again?
Yes as well as the pot luck dinner at our place (Pack Creek Campground)Quote:

Rob,
Hope you can make it again. TRemember to bring Ray with you too,
Peace.
Tom
Raymundo wont be comming will be just me and will probably not be able to do full week just a couple days. Depends on money and if we go on strike.. Those things happen I am there. Shouldnt be that hard with gas cheaper than last year.Quote:

It's criminal how much I've neglected coming to visit the site to keep in the loop.:( Stoopid busy...
So how's trix?
Going to call Red Rock (cross fingers), any other group hotels?
Any Grand Junction meet/convoy planned?
Ldub, you got a Fargo convoy? Teaming up with the Chicago crowd?..or they still speedy as usual... I don't see you on the list yet, am I gonna have to buy your gas (and gas for Suzie) to make sure you come?
Cheers all.
Yeah Kenny and Donna are coming!!
We are definitely doing the convoy again on Monday. The Chicago guys (and others from all points East) usually hit Denver on that Sunday then pick me up in Glenwood Springs on Monday. We usually stop for lunch in Grand Junction and then head on to Moab from there. It would be great to have you guys join in.
I'll second what Mark just said. I was wondering if yall were going to make it. I just PMed you.
Peace.
Tom
oh ya! definately a convoy from denver/grand junction
Isn't that 2 days after you were going to get there?Quote:

would anyone from colorado or the area be interested in trailoring 2 VX's???
my dad has an F350- with a HUGE flatbed...the weight would definately not be a problem, he usually tows around 20k lbs....
ill check on the length of it tomorrow but we may even be able to fit 3...
i dunno, he gets around 20 MPG and it would be much cheaper to throw 2 VX's on a trailer and it would cost around $40 a piece each way (i figure 30 something gallon tank, goes almost exactly 500 miles per tank)
not a necessity but its a possibility for sure...plus we could save some tire tread ;)
