West Coast Camp Commander 2011 / Planning Thread

Something to consider when selecting dates for WC Camp Commander 2011:

2011 Ouray FSJ Invasion - July 20-22, 2011

Not really a big deal, they have not announced FJ Summit dates as of yet.

I doubt we will be able to attend next year. My breaks are May 29-June 5 and August 14-28. Both times mean cold weather in the higher elevations. It is tough to take time off between breaks. I'll check back often as you guys hash out the details and I'll just have to see if it is doable.

Don't worry TJ, Christy and I will grab a 4x4 rental and go wheeling with you in February and April when we're back in Vegas.

Don't we drive full size jeeps our selves.

I asked the wife if she wanted to go to Colorado in july and she said "MMMMM wait what type of off road crap is going on in Colorado in july" I'm going to work on her and see if we can make this. Not sure if I would drive that far on my own or not but we will see.

I asked them once about that, they said the Commander is too new to qualify for their club.

I did find a place called Mountain Meadow Campground in Empire Colorado that sounds good but I cannot find any info or a current phone number. They have 48 sites with full hook-ups and are 15 miles from Georgetown.

Looking like the last two weeks of July cover the most people, Any preference?

[LWM]

There is a KOA in Buena Vista and it looks like many great trails, how does that sound?

Also do you want the event to be during weekdays so you can travel on the weekend or a weekend event?

I got off the phone with Gene from Buena Vista Colorado Snowy Peaks Campground http://www.snowypeaksrvpark.com/index.htm and he said he still has spots available if we are interested. We do need to pick dates soon as all the campgrounds are filling up fast.

Also Mile High Jeep Club has a big event in Salida July 30th to August 6th if anyone is interested. http://www.mhjc.org/2011all4funsite/index.html

Buena Vista is a nice area could be great for site seeing and Wheeling
Leadville, Pikes Peak, Great Sand dunes, Arkansas river.

I would like to explore this area, take a break from Silverton for a year ar two.
