colorado zu'zoo convoy 2009

[pbkid]

alright boys and girls...lets start planning this!!!

who's joining us from denver to moab??

[pbkid]

mark, im suprised i had to start this one...i thought you were gonna be the first to jump on it!

[MSHardeman]

Jack, I did start it: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...threadid=15472

I was actually going to resurrect it tonight to start firming plans up. There's a little bit of information on the Moab string from Gill about when they are coming from the East and who they are picking up along the way. It looks like we'll have a few VX's making the run from Denver to Moab on Monday. As usual you guys can pick me up in Glenwood Springs (exit 116), and take a little potty and gas break before we do the final push to Moab.

What CB channel will everyone be using?

[pbkid]

ah man...i figured there was no way i beat ya to it this late in the race...

tomorrow im solidifying all my plans so that i dont go nuts with being so speratic (sp)

[MSHardeman]

Let's be sure to keep everyone informed as C-day (Convoy Day) gets closer. Hopefully Gill or CeCe will chime in so we can coordinate with the mid-west crew as they make their way into Denver.

The convoy usually leaves Denver on Monday morning so you guys will have to coordinate a place to meet so Mr. and Mrs. Moncha can meet up with you guys.

It'll be great to see everyone again.

[pbkid]

im guessing the same as previous years...

ill give some details later.

for anyone that isnt use to meeting for the convoy we take off from I-70 and Morrison exit. ill see if i can find some aerial pics

the parking lot we meet in is on the very bottom of that picture-> kinda southwest side of the picture..

if anyone can tell me how to do a screenshot ill post a pic with red dots and stuff...

[Moncha]

Times are important.. What time would we be meeting?

Jack, just hit the print screen button up in the upper right corner of your keyboard (They vary) then paste it in to a paint program or a graphics program like http://www.irfanview.com/

[pbkid]

sweet, thanks moncha...

heres some pics for better understanding

this is a far away shot to give you an idea where you will be...for the people coming from the east, you can see I-25 on the right so it should give you an idea...


this is a street map, closer up...we can meet in this farther parking lot, it usually doesnt have anyone in it..


and here is an aerial version so you can see what to expect.


how does meet at 7:30, leave at 8am sound to everyone??
anyone know what CB channel we should use?

[Kenny]

Is there going to be other meet times set up along the route?
i.e. Glenwood Springs? Grand Junction?

I may make it further than Denver on Sunday....

[nocturnalVX]

Looks like we are going to be lazy (not join Steve on his blitz across America) again this year, and meet up with you at the Denny's again. Then we can pick up the rest as we head West...

[MSHardeman]

Kenny, the Denver group usually drives through and stops off to pick me up in Glenwood Springs. The drive from Denver to Glenwood is three to three and a half hours so if they leave at 8:30 they should be in Glenwood around noon.

Gill, will you guys be bringing any of the other VXers with you? Orion?

[BigSwede]

Nothing I haven't done seven or so times before...the Great Plains aren't interesting enough to look at for two days...

Have fun with the convoy.

[orion]

All right, I'm in. I'll be doing a repeat of last year. Gill, I'm assuming you are stopping in Omaha saturday night.

[pbkid]

so, glendwood around noon? that would put us into grand junction around 2pm?? and moab around 4-5pm??

do we wanna meet somewhere for breakfast again?
