Kinda what I’m afraid of. 1500 miles for me. I do plan on going but not if gas is 6$ a gallon by then. My dodge is horrible on fuel. I’m trying to find a little smaller trailer to haul mine and hopefully put a Reese hitch on the Jeep to see if it will even pull the rzr. Gas went up another 25 cents over the weekend here. At this point we may all have to find someone with a Semi too carpool everyone out west.

What did you do with all that gas money you saved last year when the price got near $1.00. Or did you forget about that? You should have been putting that money in the bank for when the gas price once again went back up.

It's about getting out and exploring new places, i'm sure most of us have good riding where we are.

One of my old riding buddies saves his pocket change all year in a big jug. A couple weeks before travel time he lugs it to the bank to cash it in. Pretty much covers his trip every year lol.
We tease him a little about robbing the wife's piggy bank to go riding but whatever works for him is fine with me.

Tnsnipper, Thanks for all the FREE publicity and keeping this thread active! Trip is still on for out west July 20-31 2022.... Next Forum trip after that just might be to Tennesee!

I need that sign stapled to my forehead so other people know what to expect...

Well, it appears that shortly after the first of the year I'll be returning to my old job in Florida. However, I'll be keeping my property in Colorado. For anybody that's interested, if you're worried about the cost of traveling, we might be able to work something out to use my house as a staging area for those that might need it. It's a three bedroom, but I have one room with a twin bed and bunk bed setup, and another room with a twin and a full. Master is mine, sorry........just a thought. Not fancy but comfortable and reasonable drive from any good area here in Colorado. My vote for next ride is Uncompaghre Wilderness, which is to the west of Montrose and south of Delta. Way more trails than Taylor park, and very likely less crowded. Still sort of central for the most part. Just a suggestion. I'm leaving most of my stuff here in Colorado and coming back for racing and atving.

OMG I am in!!! Just did some googling on the Uncompaghre Wilderness and it looks amazing. Centrally located (as much as possible...) as well. I would probably still vote slightly further southwest, in Utah, but the unc. wild. is a close second!

 

[FPD218]

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

Take a look at the live Highlands Snow Stake Cam to see how much powder has fallen recently.

Sounds good to me. I hope the cargo trailer I ordered arrives by then... Just came back from a trip to AZ and the X3 got rock chipped to hell and back. $$$$.

 

[McCarthy77]

Well fellers, i'll definitely be in the Canned ham X3. Just for fun I posted my 570 for sale for TOP dollar, and had about 10 people messaging me saying they'd take it. I wasn't really sure on selling it, but it easily reached my "i'd be an idiot not to sell it price", so it's gone. Going to order an XP1000S in the next couple weeks to replace it, but that will be a year + to get here to Canada.

 

[McCarthy77]

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?
