Got to thinking - Does anyone have a small grill they can bring out? Eric: I have a small propane grill and will throw it in the box with everything else. Got back from BSA summer camp this morning. Adolescent boys can really wear you out. Looking forward to a weekend of kickin' back and doin' nuthin' with you guys. I'll start packing on Monday. KC

I may go out and set up my pop-up on Wednesday - My kids have some extra rehearsals this week due to a performance with the COS Philharmonic on Saturday and it's making my evenings crowded with my wife out of town. Unfortunately my boys are going to miss a big portion of the gathering - ugh. Nice for them to get the opportunity, but bad timing.

At this time I have to work and most likely will not make it. The goods news is I have a daughter coming to visit for 3 weeks which I have not seen for 15 years.

Am doing everything possible to be there - plan is positive so far. Is this location about 9,000 ft. elevation?
Eric - I have been looking forward to seeing your boys (and you) again. Sorry about their short time in camp, but the performance with the symphony has to be a fine opportunity. What piece/composer will they be singing?
Can someone help with comprative info on road types/conditions? The total mileage may be similar, but which route would have fewer steep grades and be less hassle in an old MoHome:
US24 E from S of Buena Vista through Hartsell to CO31 N
or
US24 W from Colo Springs through Lake George to CO31 N ??
Thanks for any data.

Yes, about 9,000 feet. It's been warm, but shade trees are plentiful around the camp.
I'd take US24 through Buena Vista. It's a spectacular drive. both drives have a grade coming out, but nothing like the big passes and both are the a similar length - about 15 miles.
CR31 is a well-graded gravel road. You'll have no problems.
I'm not sure what all they are performing, but it's a patriotic concert, so I would assume "America The Beautiful" and I know they've been working on "God Bless the USA". Hunter is also on the hook to umpire a couple of youth baseball games on Saturday morning.

You mean the place up in Wyoming where it was held a few years ago?

I may go out and set up my pop-up on Wednesday Looks like it's kinda hard to say who may get to the campsite first. To avoid confusion, if Louise and I arrive at the campsite first, and it's unoccupied, I'll erect a small tent and a clothesline. Then I'll erect a plainly visible sign stating "24 HR". Then I'll leave the site for a while. The sign is so that anyone from the 24 HR group that subseqeuntly arrives will know that it's "US" that have settled there. KC....Sure, Louise and I will be happy to help with putting up your tent. See ya'll soon....FjLee and Louise

Prep'd the trailer and shook out the wall tent today. I will continue with other stuff tomorrow.
Talked to CCCC on the phone. He's coming.

I'm going to have a lot of stuff in my trailer because I just don't want to take it out.
If there's any need for a wood burning stove or a 12X14 tent it will be there.
I'll be sleeping in my truck.
I've got two six foot folding tables that can be used for shooting, some extra ear protection, a couple of extra chairs, three lanterns and four propane tanks.
I just cut up some scrap wood, a little more than a wheelbarrow full.
Anything else I can bring?

I'm out for sure now. The CDR agenda was finalized today and the review/action item period is scheduled for 4:30 Friday. Who the 'f' has out of town customers in after 5 PM on a Friday? This place gets more stupid every year. I'm thinking the customer big boys must be staying over the weekend to play so they don't have to be at DIA for an early departure.
Sorry guys, I wanted to meet everyone this year. If I feel spunky Saturday morning I may drive down to say hello.

tracks: I don't think we will need another big tent and mine is twice as big as yours.  The shooting tables, ear protection, chairs, lanterns, propane tanks are all useful. Everyone should bring some firewood. CU in a couple of days. KC

We can thank Rick for some of that I'd guess.
Should have been a sticky like the other gatherings get.

Don:
Hope you can make it. There will be extra room for you to spend the night if you get the urge.
