Choo-Choo; all aboard the train to Moab (CoZuvoy '08)

[MSHardeman]

Jack,

I'd be all up for coordinating the Denver crew, but I'm not in Denver so it's going to have to fall on someone else. I would be happy to head up the effort, but I would need help from you and the rest of the Denver crew regarding meeting places. As soon as you guys figure out what time you are leaving Denver I will be able to gauge what time to meet you guys at Exit 116 in Glenwood Springs. From there it's the last stretch into Moab unless we need to pick someone else up along the way.

alright sounds good to me...i dont mind coordinating...
i think we can just meet at the gunnison exit off I-70 same as last year....its basically the first exit as you start up the pass out of denver....
im not sure what time yet, my guess would be meet at 7 so we can get moving by 8...anyone else care to chime in?

[pbkid]

ok guys, its getting down to the week before we leave so i figured i better get the information up here for you chi-town people so i can answer any questions....

i will be at the I-70 exit 259 Morrison at 7 am on the 12th...

we will be departing as a group at 8 am so that we can have a little time in glenwood springs to meet up with the rest of the people from the mountain towns.....

i attempted to get some maps from mapquest so that it would make it easier for you guys to find me when you get to morrison....

basically when you get off the exit head left underneath of the bridge and then after about 1/8 of a mile on the right side you will see a road that leads to a parking lot...thats where i will be....it will be named some sort of dinosaur name, i dont remember what it is and i cant find anything on the internet so, we will say that if you get to Red Rocks Park you have gone too far....

anyhow, heres the maps i made up to make it all make a little more sense...i outlined I-70 in red so that you out of towners could understand whats going on....





hope that helps, and if not....meet up with VXIRONwoMAN because she has my number and will be calling me to find the denver and other colorado vx'ers...
hope all goes well...please feel free to ask any questions....

also, one more thing. i will keep my CB on channel 22 that morning and keep the power on so that anyone who is lost can use CB to find me also....i have about a 2 mile range so dont hesitate, if your in the area, ill find ya....

[pbkid]

no input huh?

is everyone ok with these plans then??

can you 'out of colorado' people understand where the meeting spot is???

just want to make sure everyone is on the same page considering we leave in a week

[pbkid]

does anyone wanna organize a meet up for dinner the night before we convoy out??? anyone who knows denver area well and knows the bars???

maybe like CB and Potts or something??? i dont know the area very well, im from colorado springs and i went straight to greeley for college.....

It looks like I’ll be going to Moab! I will be heading out on the morning of the 12th and meet up with you for lunch. I’ll bring some chips and drinks, I’d bring beer but I’m from Utah I think the water here has more alcoholic content then the beer.
My name is Richard Bailey and I will have 1 maybe 2 guests.

[pbkid]

kodiak i think your looking for a different thread for your info for the BBQ

There's a Potts at about 104th and I-25 -- It'd be on your way down and near me. However, I think there's already another plan that involves something further out west. I haven't done one of the meetups yet, so I'm not certain, but I think they all met up in the Golden/Morrison area -- I-70 and the West edge of Denver.

Anyway, I've been keeping kinda silent waiting to see if things happen that way again. 'Course Family and Work might be conspiring against me.... I might have to meet up with people on they way home!

[pbkid]

yea thats on the morning of the 12th when we leave in the convoy for moab...

i was saying for the night of the 11th maybe we could meet up with some of the chicago group and get some dinner, maybe get to know each other....

just thought it would be nice....they might like to try some mile high beer
