I will be heading out for Moab for GSW on Thursday at noon if anyone is interested in a caravan around that time post up.

Yea I land at DIA at 10am so noon is about the earliest I can leave. I want to actually make it to the meet and greet this year.

Did you get the rest of your long arms?

Assuming I get my DW fixed I'll be leaving around 10am I hope.

Sho' did. Might start on the fronts tonight and finish the rears up on Sunday.

Arlo, I'll be leaving Boulder the same time. Maybe you, me, dave could meet up somewhere like the Downieville exit? We should be there around the same time I think?

That should work for us. We'll have a few other rigs with us too. We could have quite the jeepavan going down I-70. Should be 5 rigs in our group.

You'd be wise to make sure you're in FRONT of my diesel before Vail Pass... I think I'm going to smoke out every living thing for about a 5 mile radius just keeping it above 55.:eek:

I'll be in my red ZJ and Bob will be in his black one. If we see you, we'll just fall in line. But, if we are further west, hopefully we'll just see you there.

I plan on leaving on Thursday, not quite sure what time yet though. Hopefully I'll be able to ride the main train with Dave & Co. (now doesn't that have a nice ring to it ;) ), but if not I'd like to tag along with someone else.

We could leave an hour earlier if Pam didn't have to spend so much time

I am a "newbie" to this forum :smt039 and to the GSW, which I look forward to being a part of this year. I will be leaving the Denver area sometime Thursday morning so I perhaps will see some of you on the road. I will not be hard to miss--a red 2005 WK that is shown in this photo album from the Easter Jeep Safari--

It looks like the AEV rig and mine will be the only "token" WKs at the event! Maybe I should have fixed up my WJ for the trip--at least I would not feel like the oddball! :tease: Oh well--anxious to met to all and join in the fun.

Sounds good to me...know which exit number it is by any chance?

Ummmm nope, but its after Idaho Springs and the exit before the rte.40 one. There's a Starbucks, Burger King, and a bigass "FUEL" sign right next to the highway.

What route do you take to get to I70? Perhaps we can meet in the Highway at some point.

As far as I know Dave from AEV is driving his WK again this year. Look forward to seeing yours on the trail.

Keith, I plan on hitting the road around 11:30AM, and meeting up with my brother at the El Rancho exit near Evergreen 12-12:30. We'll be dropping off his car and picking up my father-in-law in Grand Junction, but it would be great if we could caravan most or even all of the way. Let me know where you want to meet, if that time still works for you.

If by some act of "WTF just happened now" means that my buggy can't be there.... I'm stealing my dads WK and wheeling it in Moab.

Hopefully I'll be there in the ZJuggy! (for the WK's sake.)

Matt I am sure the WKs can wheel and are pretty stout but your dad would be crazy to loan you his. J/K

Curt and Scamper and others - I land at DIA at 10 am and will already have my Jeep packed with the kids waiting for me when I get home. I expect to be leaving HR C470 and Broadway by 12:30 with the intention on being in Moab before 6pm. I am happy to meet any of you along the way on 70 if you like. It would be great to caravan with you all. Post up your details and lets see how this works. You V8 guys will have to try and keep up with my 4.0 but I will keep things slow for your sake.

I too am trying to make the meet-n-greet, and unfortunately leaving that late really is going to be pushing it for me. You'll probably be going past El Rancho around 1PM if you hit the road right at 12:30. I figure it's going to take about 4 hours from Denver to Junction, and another two from there to Moab, with an hour or so added in for the quick stop in Junction to pick up Tom, fueling up, and +/- potty break :D

You'll probably pass me though, I generally don't do over 70-ish through the mountains. You can check out the shiny new tire carrier as you pass me! ;)

I always keep it on channel 14, give a shout out if you do go by.

EDIT: I will have it on CB channel 10 since that's the official channel (thanks for the heads up, Dave!)

Which brings up a good point, what CB channel is everyone using??? (14?)

We usually use 10.

I'll pop it over to 10 once I'm close to Downieville.

Keith

So, how long can you keep kids packed in a Jeep? Hmmm... If I pack them in the ZJ before I leave for Denver on Tuesday and come back late Wednesday, will they still be OK when we leave early Thursday morning? Or is it a WJ thing that keeps them fresh longer?

Snowman

They keep better if you pack them in dry ice.

Well you know kids these days last longer due to all the preservatives in the food they eat.

So XLSLC (http://www.mallcrawlin.com/forum/member.php?u=1125) & BigDaveZJ what time you think you'll hit the Downieville exit?

I'll probably leave 1.5-2 hours before that time cause I have no idea how fast I'll be able to go in the mountains. 4.0 w/3.55's & 32's:rolleyes:

If you eat beans you will have more gas and that should help you go :eek:[up the mountains]!:fart:

Perhaps we will beat you to Moab. I run 4.10s with the 4.0 and 32s. My WJ hangs pretty decent on I 70. You have to go down to 2nd now and then but not too bad.

XLSLC

ARLO:

I'll be at Downieville around 11. Shouldn't be long getting there, just take 93 to rt. 6 (meets 70 right before Idaho Springs), and then its just a couple of exits on I-70 to Downieville. Takes pretty close to an hour from Boulder. I'll be on channel 10 the whole way and trying to leave Boulder at 10am sharp.

ArloGuthroJeep
06-07-2006, 04:35 PM
Ok, I'll see ya there. I'll probably leave 9:30ish and wait for you...
