Colorado meet and greet

[Rotorgeek]

Hey everyone,

What do you guys think about a mobile, Front Range meet & greet? I propose we start a meet up once a month and move it to a few parts of the state. Every month we can move it up and down the I-25 trail. I think most of the people are in the Denver area, or could get here easy enough. So for example... We start in Denver. Then, Ft Collins or Boulder. Then, back to Denver. Then, Colorado Springs. Then back to Denver, and so on.

We would need locals to suggest new places for the meets. We don't want the Jeepsters to figure out our habits! :boxer:

Post up if you are interested, and if you would be willing to travel to the other locations (and which ones).

I'm in! I would do any of my proposed locations.

In! And I too would be in for anything along the Front Range. The whole reason for getting the 'Runner was to explore more of our great state (and our awesome neighboring ones.*)

* At least the north, west, and south ones.

 

[HOJeepster]

I'm interested.

 

[jonesmw10]

I'm on the Western Slope but would still be interested.

 

[Jhalko]

If I can I will, free time is limited. Just tell me when and where...

 

[jhuerta22]

Not even from CO, but Denver is only 4 and half hours away. Count me in!

 

[wookiecrisp]

Me too.

 

[Powder_Hound]

I am too...time permitting. Kids, hall passes, MTBing...etc...yada, yada, yada

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I'd be game. Would be great to meet other forum members and unlike Halko, I don't have to ask my girlfriend. I wear the pants in this here family.

Ouch. Sorry guys, gotta go now. My girlfriend just threw a shoe at me. The woman can read a laptop screen from 20 ft. LOL

I was just talking about this with another forum member earlier this week. I would be interested in this if you guys would let a poor 4runner from Wyoming join in. I could also extend an invitation for people to come up to the Laramie area if anyone had an interest in it.

A Colorado meetup is a great idea. My suggestion is to tag-team on the Rocky Mountain Overland monthly meetup which is held in Arvada on the second Tuesday of each month at Odyssey Beerworks. The RMO meet up is from 7-10 p.m. There is no reason why the 4R people couldn't meet at 5:30 or 6:00.

The RMO people are great... lots of solid people with well-thought out rigs. Plenty of parking and the venue is kid and dog-friendly. You'll even get a free RMO window sticker for participating.

A NON-4runner specific meetup!? <snob snicker>:drama:
I'm kidding I'll definitely stop by one night.

I think it would be good to crash that party, but I would also worry most people could not get there in time for a 6pm start time.

 

[Rotorgeek]

I will say that I am open to joining the RMO meet up, I am also not above stealing [MENTION=98999]KeithMaine[/MENTION] meetup spot :spider: for the first meet.

How does everyone else feel about it?
A: "That date works for me, and I need the extra HP of another window sticker!" Join the RMO meet up. Next one is 5/10?
B: "Make our own date" How does Third Wednesday sound? First meet would be 5/18
C: "Party on Wayne! Lets do both dates"

You guys do whatever you think is best, but I can tell you that if you do the RMO night, you will see more cool iron than even at an all 4R event (gasp!). The way the RMO event works is just a bunch of people talking with each other and having a cold beer. Half the time, people are out in the parking lot looking at trucks and toys. What makes RMO great (besides the cool sticker) is that there is no membership, no dues, no rules and no obligations except to maybe have a cold beer at the meet up, meet some decent people and maybe tag along on someone else's trip. Some of the RMO peeps are really up on backcountry navigation technologies, communications and APRS, all of which can be useful if your 4R gets off the pavement.

My overwhelming preference would be to be in Arvada longer on one night than to have to drive there on two different nights, but I defer to the group. I can tell you that RMO needs more 4Runners. There are typically a bunch of Tacos, JKs, Cruisers and Land Rovers (in that order) present. I hope all of the area 4R people will add the RMO meet up to their calendars.

I would be interested. I think it would be a lot of fun. Definitely subbing this thread!

 

[Liquidmantis]

Not to thread fork, but I joined the RMO Meetup and will most likely make the next one. Is the venue kid friendly?
