For all of you that may need to pick vacations for next year, July 20-31, 2022 will be the ride dates for out west.

Unknown at this time if we will ride in Colorado, Utah, or Arizona or a combination of all 3 states.

Any input for preference for planning purposes will be appreciated.

What is known at this time is you will need extra gas, a tent, camera, food to share, a ATV/UTV in good mechanical condition and want to ride and explore some beautiful scenery and have fun doing it.

We had riders from New York, Maryland, Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado and Kentucky. All of us have a long commute, but you soon forget about the drive as soon as you get there!

Tent camping. But there would be nothing stopping you from trying to find a motel. It may be 20 to 50 miles away as long as we could regroup in the morning no problem.

We tried to stay together so that we can all eat together and of course have story time around the campfire.

As far as air conditioning you do not have to worry about that temperatures at night fall into the low 40s upper 30's. You may want heat!

MrEd, is that the list of items the group made up last July when everyone gathered around the camp fire smoking your homemade blunts, drinking the West Virgina booze, just as the bear decided to join our party?

God bless our traveling home
And guide us where ever we roam
Help us find the roads we seek
And please don't let the plumbing leak...
Save us, please from engine trouble
And mechanics who charge us double
As we travel on our way
Bless us with sunshine every day
And while you're watching over all,
Could you let gas prices fall?
Lead us toward good food and friends
And when at last our journey ends
Grant our rolling home sweet rest
Until the next endurance test.

You will not be the only one with a side-by-side. There are no worries about the width of the trail.

All intrested, It appears that the trip to Colorado 2022 will be a little farther west of last years and BASE CAMP will be set up somewere in the UNCOMPAGHRE NATIONAL FOREST.

Go to COTREX and download the app/map to check out the area Colorado Trail Explorer (COTREX)

This will be tent camping in the wilderness, plan accordingly.

Ask any questions you may have

So what's the plan for the riding, are we setting up a base camp and doing day rides, or are camping as we go at different locations each night, or?

I'm not letting fuel prices determine if I go or not. One never knows if you'll be alive next year to still enjoy it.
