I have no objections to Colorado, or the San Juans. I agree it is fairly central for those who attended last year. I would second the motion to maybe base out of Ouray perhaps. Staying in Silverton is even fine though if we are close enough to the other trails in the area we haven't seen yet.

The people ate Red Mountain are really good to us too and we have a relationship that keeps the prices lower than everywhere else and they throw in some extras like the grill, next year Jim said he would give us a meeting tent if we want one.
I liked Red Mountain, but while I haven't priced RV sites in the Colorado area, I wasn't that impressd that we got a good deal. We stopped in Moab for two nights on the way to Colorado and had just as good or better for half the price.

I shopped the area and Red Mountain is the best price there, the only cheaper option is dry camping.Originally Posted by WanderingTs
I wouldn't mind trying another part of the state. If we went to the Fairlplay area, we could even do Mosquito Pass - the highest 4x4 pass in North America. I know there is also a bunch of stuff up near Central City/Empire as I drove past the trail heads last year.
We are certainly not locked into the Silverton area. I do know that several of our fellow campers go to Silverton every year so we may or may not get them to take off and join us elsewhere but Colorado is such a beautiful state I know I would like to see more.
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.

Stock and proud of it!
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.
