Ouray, 2009

[nuclearlemon]

It's on Camp Bird (Yankee Boy basin rd 361 on the map) on the right just after you cross the bridge/creek. You'll see a kiosk and sign. (If you reach the Thistledown campground, you've gone too far.)

ok, mapquest shows that as angel creek rd, they show camp bird road southwest of thistledown

Ouray Potluck

Hey gang,

I realize this is short notice, but I managed to get the picnic area at the 4J+1+1 campground reserved for a potluck on Sunday evening. I hope everyone that is coming will join us. This potluck usually is great and we will be where the kids can play and adults can gather.

Joining us for this event finale, you will need to bring any meat or main dish you want to have for you and your family plus a dish from one of the following categories to share.

Appetizers
Salads
Vegetables
Dessert.

Please let me know what category your choice is so we make sure we have all areas covered. As usual, I will be making dutch oven desserts.

Hope you all will join us for a real good time.

MARTIN!! Hey, whats up?

I haven't heard from the ranger district yet. I will call and leave a message again. I assume that no response means we have a temporary permit as we are citizens trying to do the right thing.

Course, that (as well as the USFS website page you referred to Martin) means absolutely squat in them thar hills. For the HAM radio field day, the USFS site declared the CG we were at a 1/2 price CG, due to them putting in new water spigot (no water was available at the time). Happy F-n Trails management services who orchestrates the old farts reservations in their Minnies told me that the USFS has no jurisdiction over what they as operators can charge at any time. Full price. Oh, and keep the generator off after dark. Couldn't hear the damn thing it was 300 feet away from the nearest site (ours).

I agree with Farnham. We aren't organized at all.

OH, and we're bringing the famous guacamole to the potluck.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it as Bruce's count had us well below the 75 person limit.

Nonetheless, I have made several copies of the website page you referenced.

Hope to start the 285 route between 8 and 9 am Friday.

Hoping to do the same - Plan to stop in Gunnison for lunch/gas

I'll keep an ear/eye out for you. You pulling the camper?

 

[Old40Dog]

I know its pretty last minute, but I just got my 40 back together last weekend and my wife and I we are planning to head out for Ouray Friday morning. Look for every one along the way.

 

[Po Boy 80]

I plan to come to Ouray with my wife & kido. We live in Durango so we will be in town just off Main staying with friends. I will be in a 3FE Charcoal 80 with stickers. Can't wait to see everyone. Would like to get on the Blackbear Run? Any one know where the meeting spot is and what time? Better late than never to post.

 

[nakman]

08:00 at the parking lot to the water park. welcome!

Meeting Place

Thanks Nakman,
Hope to meet you! I have plenty O Beta on the area and the trails. It is a nice back yard to have.

Yep. Lap of luxury for the missus. Doesn't help the mileage any, but then, it is darn comfy. Plus it's a dry run for hunting!

Thanks for doing this Bruce, I always wonder who's who on the runs lately with all the HAMS, and trying to scribble call signs while wheeling is not easy..

 

[nuclearlemon]

Potluck?

Isn't anyone else gonna bring anything? Or will it be a surprise like Treeroot's famous pasta creation? Kiowa Kate is giving me the third degree for info.

potluck

Our tomato garden is overflowing, so Becky and I talked about making a Caprese Salad with fresh Colorado tomatoes for the gathering.

And we can certainly bring another side as well if needed to fill any gaps.

 

[nakman]

Yeah we're good for at least 1 something as well... probably baked salmon. Plus beverages...

 

[rover67]

we'll bring a few bags of chips and some dip to share as an appetizer.

 

[wesintl]

I'll figure something out.. maybe speedies or a salad. I have to check with the wife on these things.

 

[Caribou Sandstorm]

Looks like we are out for this year's Ouray trip.

Calling into the 4J and cancelling 1st thing tomorrow, unless someone wants our spot.
