Sounds great! Count me in on Holy Cross (to french creek anyway), Chinamans, Iron Chest, Grizzly lake or Wheeler lake.

The RSVP thing isn't working for some reason.

I think I could make it. I don't think I would be able to get up there to res. the site again though. Enough people know where it is, shouldn't be to much of a prob. Had a blast last year, and came home with an extra part too!

I tried to put myself as maybe, but it gave me some security error. Have to make the call as we get closer.

I figured I'd get the dates out early so people can put them down on their calendars, take vacation time off from work, etc..... Weird that the RSVP isn't working, I'll PM somebody about that.

I'm looking forward to the CO4RJ again this year. Camping and wheeling are 2 of my favorite outdoor activities. Hopefully I get to wheel on that third day this year rather than messing around with bent rear axle housings and how to get 2 broken rigs home on one trailer (just kidding CUbuff4Runner).

I'd like to repeat my trail list from last year - Holy Cross on Friday, BV Carnage on Saturday, and Chinamans on Sunday. Maybe add a night run on Saturday night!

Post up any ideas or suggestions you have about the Jambo!

I just have to talk Jeff into building a new rig so he doesn't bend any more axles(and I'll buy his 4runner).

I'm in

I have no plans of driving Carnage in the Turbo 4Runner, but if you have an open seat I'll ride with you. I could park the 4Runner up at the exit and we could run Chinaman's after Carnage on Saturday night.

The camp site last year worked out really good. There is some camping area's around the Chinaman's /Carnage trailhead area, but I don't know how big the area is. It would be a cool spot for night wheeling

As always, I look forward to wheeling with everyone again!

Yup, save that $$$ and we'll see you on Carnage with some new custom sheetmetal work

I counted you already in as well! I didn't expect you to drag the Turbo up Carnage, you'll always welcome to hop a ride. I'd really like to run Chinamans at night, baja style Tell your buddy Cory and Tim about the event, I send you and Cory an email but I don't know if he checked his account.

Remind me when it gets closer, I still owe you some beer

Anything in CO rocks (no pun intended). I've never done trails in this neck of the nape. My rig (just picked up a '97 4R) isn't very far along. If there's some less-than-aggro trails, I'm in. Hell, I've done enough other stuff in CO I might just plan a few notso-aggro trail runs for the newbs.

That'd be nice haha. Not sure of any of the trails with my truck and being a newb but I'd definitely be up for riding with someone if they didn't mind an extra body? Colorado is my home so I have no problem coming down, even just for the camping

Thanks for the invite. Scott from Addicted tried to get me to come last year, but I was in Ohio. Hopefully I'll be able to make it this year. I love Buena Vista!

There are quite a few trails that stockers would have no problem on (Boulder Mountain, Mount Antero, Mount Princeton, Tincup Pass). We had several rigs that were stock or mildly mod'ed that attended.

You'd be fine in your truck, you and STICK could head up the stockers

No problem! Hope you can make it this year. I love the BV area as well. Tons of outdoor activities all in a quiet part of the state.
