Western U.S. Rally Interest?

[TucsonJim]

There have been quite a few postings asking about a 2015 rally. There were many of us "Westerners" who were not able to attend the 2014 rally in Indiana. Since I no longer have to work for a living, I'd be happy to start organizing a rally for those of us in the Western U.S. for next summer. If there is enough interest, I'll get the ball rolling. Please respond as follows:

1. Indicate your interest - Yes or No (this doesn't mean you commit to attending)
2. The top two states you'd prefer the rally to be held in.
3. The month you'd prefer the rally to be held.

I'll start:

1 - Yes
2 - Colorado, Wyoming
3 - September

Will it be possible to attend both?

[TucsonJim]

Will it be possible to attend both?

Of course. If we have enough interest in a Western rally, I'll make sure we allow enough time between the two for travelling.

Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico.

Prefer NOT between September 9 and 23.

Thanks for thinking about this!

We're headed west in 2015, haven't decided on any specific dates yet so we'll watch this thread (or a for a new one). If it fits in we'll be there!
So her are my non answers to the questions.

1. Maybe
2. we can be flexable
3. ??

1) Yes
2) Colorado or any state touching Colorado.
3) Later is probably better, but if we have the 380TH by then we'd be interested any time that's not July (edited- sorry, DW pointed out that month isn't good for us.)

Colorado, late Sept. (when the trees turn)

A good location would be Durango, Alpen Rose campground (north of Durango a little). Beautuful drive north of Durango to Silverton and Ouray. Rent a jeep in Silverton and go east up Engineer Pass. Can go all the way over the pass to Lake City (in a jeep).
Rent a jeep in Ouray and go west to Yankee Basin. World famous for wild flowers in the spring. Can take a truck up there but I would not want to take mine.

From Durango a good day trip is Mesa Verde Natl. Park. For a small charge can get a ranger guided tour of a cliff dwelling. Down metal steps at the beginning and up a couple of ladders at the end. I'm 73 and I made it o.k.


If you would rather be further north in Colorado, Ridgway State Park is nice. One of the campgrounds there has full hookups and all pull thru sites. A stream and a lake there.
