[ZOSO]

Well I'll be... Mr. JW! How's things? I hope these boys show you a good time! Wish I were in the area to join![/quote]

Things are good especially leaving Texas summer heat for a few days to the Colorado mountains. Wish you could be there too. Are you still overseas, Germany right?

Yessir, Germany. Just got word we'll be here an additional year (we requested this) so it'll be two years from this month when we move next.

[cravenbronco]

So what would you call (equipped) for this trail?

[ZOSO]

I like atleast 33's and one locker. But it's not required as there are bypasses around the hardest obstacles. Many stock rigs run it so no worries either way.

cool I have a 5.5 inch lift with 35s and a rear locker
I don't need any body damage tho

[Jesus_man]

You'll be setup for the trail pretty well. If you're gearing is high or if the rocks are wet, I'd avoid the major obstacles if you don't want body damage.

[cravenbronco]

so is anyone going to take 285 up to Fairplay ?

[Kinder]

Maybe I should call in sick so I can go play.

[ZOSO]

Yep i'll head down 285 to fairplay. Thinking of meeting at the sinclair gas station in fairplay 715ish. Bronco will be in tow.

Is anyone planning on camping Friday or Saturday night?

[cravenbronco]

My buddy John has a IH scout and might tag along.

[Booger]

Wish I didn't have a prior commitment or I'd be riding along in my old Bronco. Have fun and enjoy the views.

[cravenbronco]

Has anyone heard about a mud slide after the boulder field ?

[ZOSO]

nope. where did you hear that?

[cravenbronco]

I heard that from a guy up at one of the local shops I really try not to listen to him ( He is not all there ) icon
I just said if so we will still make it Cause we have EARLY BRONCO'S
I still plan on going no matter what.

[Woodscaper]

I just read on another forum that a group just ran it and made it to the lake, you guys will be fine.

[casadejohnson]

I think we are going. I have a power steering pump leak that I can't address between now and then but I plan to through a little stop leak crap in there to see if I can slow / stop the bleeding. If it looks like she can hold her fluids ( Most of them at least ) we will load her up and meet up for the caravan. I'll try to test it out tomorrow and then make the call.

[ScottBarnes]

I'm getting caught up on this trip while sitting in a freakin' hotel room in beautiful downtown Detroit! ARGH.

I'm a little lost on times -- I'll be coming from Breck, so will probably just meet ya'll at the trailhead. Is it an 8:00 a.m. meet there?

[ZOSO]

Yes Scott meet at the trail head around 8 or so.

Funny, I'm about 2 1/2 hours from you on the west side of Michigan, over in Bridgman, MI. Going home on the 15th.

[casadejohnson]

Ok, I / We will be there. I'll plan on being at the meet point and joining the caravan up to Fairplay.

Eck- I'll bring your parts down. We just need to figure out our meet up for the hand off.

Jeff- I'm happy to shuttle your parts as well. The only issue might be getting the wiper cover picked up. If you talk to him, he could drop the parts at my place or maybe I can have Michelle meet him someplace to grab it for you.

Glad you can join us wheelin'.

If it works with the wiper cover that will be awesome. Mike lives in Eaton so you guys live pretty close.

Thank you very much.
