KC and I are organizing the 2015 Colorado & Surrounding States Gathering. We decided to host it at the same location as the 2013 Gathering. This should provide easy access for those coming from the front range and will be easy to find for those who are driving from points farther away. There is room for LOTS of rigs, tents and campers. The campsite area is shaded by old-growth Ponderosas. There is a 400+ yard range located adjacent to the camping area. We'll start a list of attendees and get volunteers for equipment and food as we get closer. Elevation 8,700 feet Dates: June 26-28, 2015

I've asked Rick to make the thread "sticky".
I'll bring everything that I have in the past. I'll also provide a burrito buffet that will feed the entire group for one dinner.

Please put me down on the interested list. Got plenty of vacation and that should be a quiet time at work.
Though I've been avoiding Colorado since they got stupid with those gun laws. But I'd make an exception to meet some more campfire guys.

Thanks for doing this - looks great in the pics. I wish, and am hoping, to be with you. Will confirm as soon as some obstacles clear away.

I will probably have to take off from work but it may be possible I could be there. I would love to meet some of the people from the fire.

All good things in moderation. Good whiskey ain't for chugging. Well, PG-rated at at least. lol

I was at the last one at that location. Adults, kids, and dogs had a great time.
Everyone was relaxed and sober
I may bring my Lab if I do this one.

Hour Campfire" gathering.
My wife and I certainly enjoyed last years get-together up by Gore Pass. Please put Louise and I down for "yes, will attend".
........and a big "Thank you" for the organizers!!
