Twisties Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Left Ouray yesterday morning (Saturday). It was 41. Off and on rain. Going to miss you guys by a week. Have fun! Wish you were there when we are! Link to comment
Firefight911 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 It's Phil, so you know, it's understandable that you have to ask for an update.... Whatcha' doin Sunny Boy? Hardy har har funny man! Trying to wrap up some stuff I HAVE to finish before I can leave. At work all this weekend so none of it got done. Tomorrow will be a scramble. If I can get what I need to have done in time, I plan on leaving for Torrey Tuesday morning. From there it will on to Ouray. I'll be driving out in the truck with the F800GS in the bed. It doesn't look like Jamie will be able to make it. Drat!!!!!!!!! Pikes Peak is out. Not enough time and I have to be back Sunday night. I have a very early Monday appt. and it's gonna be enough just that I have to drive 1000 miles to get home on Sunday. I hate squeezing things in because the outside influences keep getting in the way. Of course, all of this is truly dependent on my getting some stuff handled at home and around town first. I have to have some things completed in their entirety for my Monday morning interview or I don't leave home. Hoop, jump, another hoop, jump again! Link to comment

Whip Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Ouray IV is in our sights. Leaving tomorrow for a quick stop in Torrey. Lookin forward to checkin out Chillzz. Chillzz is a new pizza place in Torrey across from the Chuck Wagon, owned by Christine Austin, Jamie's wife, Randy's daughter in-law. I hope they have some cold beer. Link to comment
AdventurePoser Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 To bad W#rk gets in the way of a good time! Make sure you soak in the Ouray Hot Springs for Jennifer and me. Steve in So Cal Link to comment
eddd Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I got the extrication class out of the way. The students did well, the car...not so much... The rig is ready, just need to load the TW, but I'm still using it. I'll be on the road early tomorrow. Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm gonna try and see if I can make this work since I can't make the UN. What day are you guys arriving? Arrive the 19th? Link to comment
Twisties Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Whip, Louise, and maybe Phil are arriving Torrey early (Tuesday or Wednesday nights). Killer is there now. Chance I might run down as well, though looking not too likely at the moment. Everyone arriving Ouray Friday the 19th and departing Monday the 22nd ISFAIK. I believe Jamie is meeting up with Tom at Chez Kaisr Thursday evening for the run in. Link to comment
Whip Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Bill I thought I already said....we have a room for ya. It was in another thread. Link to comment
Bill_Walker Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Cool! See below Because the little brown thing is no longer inside the big white thing (and please ignore the cute medium-sized thing on the right), I am now good to go! Whip, you said I've got a bed, right? Let me know the deets. See you in Ouray. Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 OK!!!! Here's my final answer. There was just too much to do in the time given so I will not be leaving tomorrow morning as I had hoped so I could have Killer all to myself for a night (hey big boy!!!!!!!!!). Additionally, I have changed my mode of conveyance to something a bit more traditional. I will not be bringing the F800GS in the truck. I will be doing the only proper thing I should do and will be bringing Heather with me. Yep, me and Heather (aka, K1300GT) are headed east on Wednesday morning at between 3 and 4 AM. Destination Ouray with a stay in Torrey for a night on the way. FYI, I will be utilizing warp drive, I'm giving ya all she's got, Cap'n, on Sunday morning as I HAVE to be back Sunday night. It'll be a straight shot home Sunday morning to Diamond Springs and Jamie's catcher's mitt. Link to comment

It'll be a straight shot home Sunday morning to Diamond Springs and Jamie's catcher's mitt. Are you sure she wants to be squeezing an Iron Butt? On edit: checked Google maps, and if you take I-80 you _can_ make an SS1000 out of it. If you take 50, you come up short, but can no doubt make greater use of the aforementioned "warp drive".

Twisties Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Sharon and I are thinking we'd like to ride the Alpine Loop on Saturday. It's long, so we need an early start (you know, like on the road before 9 kinda early). We'll go up from Ouray to Animas Forks (the ghost town we took pictures at last year), then turn to Lake City via Cinnamon Pass. Lunch in Lake City. Back via Henson Creek, Capitol City, and Engineer Pass. Route is suitable for the dual sport bikes, jeeps and 4wd drive trucks. Who's IN? Link to comment

Firefight911 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 In bed in 30 minutes for a 3 AM wake up to begin the journey East to Torrey for a day and then to Ouray. I soooooooooooooooooooooo need this!!! I wonder how the Hwy 50 Nevada crossing will go for me? Hmmmm, 160 hp and a long stretch of openness. 'He's got a long way to go, and a short time to get there, come on Bandit, come on Bandit, runnnnnnnnnn . . . ' Or maybe it's a case of Coyote vs Road Runner?? My SPOT tracker will be on so you can check in if you desire. Click on the 'Where am I?'link in my sig for location data. Link to comment
AdventurePoser Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I don't know why I keep checking this thread. It's torture not being able to go! We've been vacationing in Ouray for years, and can't think of a nicer spot in southwestern CO. Cheers, Steve Link to comment
