Just a friendly reminder of our GTG on Sept 7th, I received the banner today, which we all get to sign.

I will be trying to make it barring any plans my wife might make. Shouldn't conflict though. Not to mention I live in the springs so not that far to travel.

So here's how it's going to go down:

Who: You and trucks
What: Meet in the city, take a short drive, go to my house for the 'fun' part
Where: Colorado Springs, my house address to follow
When: Saturday, September 7 @ 3 PM


Schedule:

  1. 3 PM - meet at Garden of the Gods park (when I figure out where we can park all our trucks, I'll give a specific location - I don't think they want us all at the visitor's center). We'll hang out here for a bit in the open space and attract attention from any chevy drivers (a.k.a 'punks' ).
  2. 3:20 - 3:30 - Surprise
  3. 3:30 - Take a drive through Garden of the Gods
  4. 3:45 - 4:00 - Go to my house and "Make some fun"
As I did last time, I will provide some food but I will also have the grill going if you want to bring something of your own to cook.

As for drinks, I will have soft drinks and some beer - oh, and there's always whiskey at the house

I have plenty of space for everyone so I don't think any chairs are needed.

Kids are welcome, just as last time.

Did I miss anything?

Just wanted to tie up the loose end I had on this and let everyone know where to meet.

We will be meeting in Garden of the Gods at the Visitor Center. It's the main visitor center shown on the main page here - Garden Of The Gods | Home

Let me know if you have any questions.

Do we have a running headcount? I was actually at GOtG this last weekend so know where you are talking about for the visitors center. Are we going to the far side of the parking lot away from the building since there is more room there? oh and please pm your number.

Based on the responses I received, I'm thinking ~10 people, more or less. I didn't get a lot of specifics. But 10 is a safe number.

As for where in the parking lot...more towards the north side. When I was there, that seemed to be the most empty part of the lot, but if people are parked there we'll find a good spot. I'll have the banner up so look for that and my red F150. Number on its way.

Wife asked if we were bringing the Expy too but I think it needs a lot of work to make it ready for me to show it off in my mind lol. F150 will definitely be detailed and ready for this LOL.

And the good news from my side is my truck seems to be in good shape with the new motor so I expect it to be running as well. I'm happy

Take I-25 to GoG, exit 146 I think. Head west towards mountains. When the street ends turn left, you'll now be on 30th, go about 1.5 miles. Welcome center on left, can't miss it.
