Re: 6th Annual Platte River Meet
I'm hoping to not be one of the few attendees from south of Denver. That's a very subtle way of saying Colorado Springs and south folks need to get off their butts and make this event. It is the founding event of this group after all. And you can't really complain about so much stuff happening in Denver when more Denver people turn out to Colorado Springs events than Colorado Springs people. (Not so subtle)
If anyone is interested in convoying to this, let me know. Thought I would take the usual back roads to get there and enjoy some fall Colorado countryside along the way.

Re: 6th Annual Platte River Meet
I'm having terrible luck with CCB activities lately. For the Sept springs breakfast I was on top of Mt Antero. Now for this one I'll be in Salt Lake.
Maybe next time.

If you guys come up 85 from castle rock, I could meet you at 85 and Titan.
We got ourselves a convoy, trucking through the night

Re: 6th Annual Platte River Meet
For those interested in the convoy north from the Springs...
Initial link up will be at my place at 10:30. 1127 Fuller Road, 80920. Tools and parts for final tinkering available.
We'll head over to the Valero gas station at Academy and Voyager at 10:45 to top off on gas and meet any stragglers. O'Reilly auto parts is across the street for those last minute needs.
Looking at hitting the road north at 11:00 for the one hour drive to Platte River.
Planning to take I-25 north to Castle Rock and 85 through Sedalia to Littleton.
I'll probably run 85-105-Monument on the way back if anyone wants to come along.
