Looks like I will be heading west. Right now I'm going to try to leave Wichita on saturday April 27. That may all change. Don't know where I will stop saturday evening. The plan is to meet folks sunday evening near Crescent Junction and camp that night. Another option would be to meet folks in Hanksville on monday the 29th.

 

New plan. Trip starts somewhere in Utah on May 18. We will go down to Hanksville and then back to the San Juans in SW Colorado. The plan now is to end in Lake City, CO on the 27th or 28th of May. So aprox. 10 days in Utah and SW Colorado.

 

Sounds awesome! But I got about 10.00 to my name right now. I don't think I could remotely pull off two trips this year. In fact I need to be putting away money for the one trip I do get to make this year, soon!

 

Boy, sure wish I could go..

 

Sounds like fun Jack, but no way I can get away.

 

I understand folks but was wanting to offer. I'll have an open seat. The trip may start at or near SLC. I will go through Hanksville, Utah and end up Memorial day weekend in Lake City, CO.

 

K. The plan yesterday was for Outlaw and Gadgit to head out today for the Swell. I decided to leave via I-70 today for Denver. Found out last night that Caveman was leaving tomorrow and called him to see if we could meet up for 20 minute chicken in Green River. He told me Sundance was going tomorrow also. But he said Caveman said he would be in Green River to early for 20 minute chicken. Called Sundance and he said well maybe if they have it at noon time we'd have to check. Either Green River or Grand Junction at the Deli Sundance likes. On the way to Denver I was stopped to eat and checked e-mail on my phone and had word that Outlaw and Gadgit were not able to leave today and were going out tomorrow. So all 4 of us will be leaving the Denver tomorrow at different times headed for Green River. To early to tell but maybe sorta kinds plan is to meet in Green River tomorrow at 3ish in the afternoon. Maybe 20 minute chicken? We'll see who get's out when tomorrow and go from there.

 

Got your message but was asleep! :-) have a safe trip!

 

Have a good time and be safe. Watch yer top knot.

 

Keep your pants and yer powder dry!! :-)

 

Thank ye fer the kind words. Showed the fellers the shootin irons an they was talkin bout how they was gonna split um up. Guessin I'll be doin my own spotin this trip.
Don't have my picture sizing program on this puter so I will have to waiy till I get back for those. Awsome pics today. I could have spent all week out on that trail taking pics of the views. Thing is that I'm not good enough to get all that felling attached to them

 

have fun, and be safe out there Jack! Wishin I was there with you.

 

Guess I killed the thread. A bit of background. Back in the 80's when Outlaw had a 4x4 travel club, folks would look at a nasty section and ask if he was going to take his stock truck over it. The answer was most always yes. So someone would say I get his computer and someone else would say I get his camera. So that has been an inside joke for about 25 years. So folks were voicing dibs on my shootin irons if I made a mistake on a bad section of trail and died. Like back in the old west when folks rode together and one died, his pards would split up his stuff.

Now we had buzzards circling, requests for me to take my breakfast to my tent in an area where locals were using dogs to hunt bears, and a Kill Bill babe luring me into the back of a remote canyon.

I am headed back and should have pics and full story next week.
