Pam and I were thinking about running somewhere this weekend, probably Monday though since it should in theory be the slowest day of the weekend.

Sunday or Monday or both sound good to me!

Monday might work for me too. Sunday for sure but really no solid plans yet. Keith E(locomigo) and I were talking about checking out the ice caves near Dakan road or something like that on Monday as well.

Monday is a holiday for most. And at the moment, I don't have a job.;)

John,

I'm up for Sunday at Wheeler Lake, and maybe something on Monday. I'm not working either, and Justin is a teacher so we are available for weekday wheeling.

I think we'll probably go along to Wheeler on Sunday. Any idea on a meeting place/time?

I think taking I70 would be the most efficient way for us to go so how about we meet at the dinosaur ridge parking lot just west of the 470 interchange on I70 at 8:30am? I think that is the golden exit?

8:30?? Fuckin 'eh man!!! I'm supposed to be on vacation those 3 days!!

Hmmmm we can do 8:35am will that work?

Actually I am pretty open on the time for Sunday. I would prefer to be home before the late afternoon rush down I70. IIRC the trail head is about and hour and a half from Denver and its not a long one. We can leave mid morning and still be ok.

Anyone ever try to fish the lake. I may bring a pole and bait to try it during lunch up there.

So are you going to wheel on Sunday Scott?

JohnBoulderCO
06-28-2006, 10:49 PM
Yeah Scott, missed the last two you said you were going on. ;)

Mid morning departure is fine with me (later then 8:35am :D).

Yea OK I'll go. I didn't want to miss SC but had no choice.:(

Thats why you should have run OCG. Then you would not feel so bad about SC but then again you would not have ben going to WL on Sunday. KWIM?

I never look here for trips, guess I need to start to now. I'll tag along assuming no objections:D

There's usually quite a few runs each summer that we schedule on here. Certainly not the quantity and variety of CO4x4, but we usually end up with smaller groups where we all at least kinda know each other which makes things run a little smoother most of the time. And since I actually have Sundays off this summer, I'll be wheeling a lot more so there should be quite a few more runs scheduled. That is until I break something . . . .

I was figuring this out on the way home from OCG Sunday, this is the furthest into the year I've gone without breaking something since at least 2001. And 2001 was the first year I wheeled, I just can't remember how far into the year I blew up my front driveshaft. I know I probably just jinxed myself, but I've already mentioned this anyways so I'm already jinxed. If I can make it through a whole season without breaking something . . . I am not changing a DAMN thing on the ZJ for next season!

I second the motion to make it later than 8:35 am. Hell the only thing that sucks about wheeling is early mornings!

And considering we're going to be leaving for Holy Cross the next Sunday at the hairy ass-crack of dawn, I say we sleep in at least a LITTLE bit!!

Its probably some loose change in the console. No worries. Meet us there and we can remove it for you. My kids like to raid the gumball machines with quarters.

9:30 at I-70 and Morrison exit? Later?

9:30 sounds more reasonable!

9:30 sounds great. Justin & I'll meet you all at I-70 & Morrison.

Did you get your uniframe tweaked back in shape on you 5.9 yet?

I've decided that the main frame is fine and that the B pillar just got pushed up about 1/4". I found a place in Denver that will handle modified vehicles, so I'll just have to get it in there. Right now I don't want to be without the Jeep while it is being fixed. So just wheeling it and I'll get it into the shop later this summer, or early fall.
