I spoke with Dave and we'd like to have everyone who can, meet Sunday evening at the Historic Western Hotel on 7th Avenue (down from the hardware store) at about say 6pm? They have a beautiful bar from the late 1800's and a nice deck area outside if the weather permits. They serve brick oven pizzas and drinks.
This would be a good place to meet / greet / discuss. That said, I need a headcount so I can make a reservation. If the weather is an issue, we need to have a good head count to reserve table space and eat. Otherwise they will want the space for diners if we are outside OR don't eat and just want to talk.
I think given the discussions about number of trails etc., we should all get together and talk, and if we do that we might as well have a pizza and relax.
So please let me know if you plan to be there, how many, and if you would eat at this time as well.

Yes. I have a lot of phone numbers already. If any of you have not exchanged phone numbers with me please PM me. I'll give you my number. When you get into Ouray give me a call to let me know.
Last year we would all have dinner and breakfast at the same place. I don't know if that would work this year. We may have almost 30 people.
I have mentioned before that I'll have notepads to sign up what trail ride you plan to go on. Actually it will be one notepad.
The back of this notepad will be the guest list. I hope everyone that comes will sign this guest book. Everyone that attends will be on a separate line so I can count each participant. If we do this right we'll also be able to count the vehicles that came.
I am amazed that you were ready to quit doing this because of the lack of people and now you have so many you can't all do a trail together. I know you all will have a great time and wish I was there with you.
Jeep is attached to the motorhome and tonight is final packing and getting ready.
Bought a new GoPro Hero 5 black last night for this trip too - extra $500 bucks my wife rose the eyebrow to... lol My gopro i had already was the first ever built (model anyways) so it is way outdated and I wanted to doccument this ride right...
Have 3 rechargable batteries, 2 32GB memory cards, and hoping my cousin brings his laptop so we can empty the cards as needed. Not sure how much memory videos take with this thing... it supposedly does 4k recording - i don't even have a 4k TV yet! lol
Pulling out of Sacramento, CA tomorrow morning around 9AM.
Couple stops along the way planned, and will be in Ouray Saturday around 1PM.
Dave, this will be a relaxed day after travel so we will have a later breakfast (around 9) then head out. PM me your cell and I'll get in touch with you Sunday morning. Looking forward to meeting you Sunday.

I rode here with Shooby after flying to Colorado Springs yesterday. Met JR's group on the way in town. JR picked up a set of high-back blue seats for me off Craigslist on his way in.
Had dinner with Shooby and Busa then met up with JR and had a beer while they had dinner.
Picking up my CJ and seats tomorrow morning and then help Posi and then head to Poughkeepsie.
