[Old40Dog]

wes - I may be in.

anyone got teens coming or small children? my boy is probably coming and could use a distraction with all the other stuff.

John, My son Zach's 16 and planning on being with my wife and myself. Hope you can make it!

ajax or anyone meeting in the morning we don't need to leave right at 8 since we chose a different route. Lets say be there by 8:30 and we'll leave at the latest at 9.

OK, for those meeting me and Jim Deer at the Gas Cafe on Sat morn, lets plan on meeting there at 6:45 to leave by 7:00 to head to Dorchester camp ground. T

Can someone "build" a google map with pushpins showing where we start and end each day? I know where we are Friday night, but it's not clear where we end each day. Just trying to coordinate where to leave cars to shuttle back and forth, etc.

 

[wesintl]

that's fancy stuff right there. I'm not familiar with it but I'll try tonight unless someone does it sooner.

It's easy. Just go to google maps, type in the dorchester location, then click the "my maps" link over on the left top side of the screen. There will be an option to "create new map". Once you start that, you will see several new icons show up inside the map view top left. The middle one is the pushpin. You can drag and drop that wherever you like then label it. Once you save your map, you can email it or post up a link for it. In fact...I may be able to start one....hang on...

Here is your google map.. let me know if you have any questions.

that is just.....AWESOME! We should do this for every trail ride. Thanks!

BTW, just wanted to confirm that a stock (locked) 80 will do this ride. If not, I need to pack the 40.

 

[wesintl]

it is pretty cool. Thanks for introducing it...

stock 80 should be fine.. but I have my own running boards to buy

Nice Wes. I am all packed up w/ hardtop on and ready. I will be at Dorchester sometime in the mid-late afternoon, depending on where and how long I horse around on the way there. ( a 2F FJ40 and 160 miles....... )

See you all on Friday night/Saturday morning!

I have made reservations in Salida, hopefully will get there by 10 PM. That should allow me to get to the campground by 9 AM.

I didn't know, just googled the location. I will have to get my Colorado maps out.

Does this look OK or is there a better route?

Thanks

no reservations there. There are spots that go around the trees clockwise if there are people there. If it's full we'll find a spot, taylor park is pretty big. I suspect no issues though.

Any of the gunnison guys who read this in the morning:

I'm leaving Idaho Springs at 5AM to head to Dorchester by 9AM. I'll be monitoring the Colorado Connection, 146.46 and Ch.4...
