Have a great trip Jenn!   I will be heading west the last week of July and will be at the Western Little Guy rally in McCall, Idaho from Aug 3-6.  Plan here is to head up through the Black Hills region and parts west before arriving in McCall.   

Safe travels and share your travel pics!

Jenn -- Have a safe and wonderful trip!!!!  I'm glad everything functioned sweetly for your last weekend.  I'll be camping myself this weekend and gone the next.  Possibly I could wander up to RMNP on the 19th or 20th just to say hi.  I'll send you a PM if that looks possible.  I would love to meet you and gain knowledge about our new T@Bs.

Jenn, looks like a great trip. Have a great time, be safe and most of all have fun. 

We just traveled 5600 miles and to some of the spots you listed. 

We have a dear friend in Ouray who does jeep rides. Give me a shout if you want to look him up. We loved Ouray. Went there 2 years ago but not in our T@B. 

We particularly enjoyed Craters of the Moon in Idaho this trip.

Thanks, everyone! Belva, I have a Jeep and am going to try to tackle a few trails myself! (the easier ones) Wanderoo, Let me know!

Have a great and safe trip.  Just came back from mine out west a few weeks ago, still gathering up the photos, but it is just fantastic, and the T@Bpole was great for the three weeks I spent in it.

Hope to see lots of photos!

That sounds like a great trip...we'll miss you by a couple weeks in Crested Butte; we're going to the annual Wildflower Festival next week (we're there 7/7-9), but I'm sure the flowers will still be great when you get get here. Where are you staying in Ouraay? When we go up we usually stay at the Ridgway State Park (I know there's a KOA in Ouray as well). Ouray is only an hour and half away over the pass...maybe we can come up and say hi and check out the W@goneer!

So, here is a midway brief report. Day 3 of the trip in Louisville, KY I had a dead battery in the TV. I think it was just due to be replaced. Day 6 of the trip I broke down camp at Mt. Evans and my trailer lights weren't working. To make a long story short, it was a bad ground on the T@b. Camping World in Golden, CO spent over an hour and fixed it for free. Ed Kaufman was also very helpful via phone. Mt. Evans is not a convenient spot to have problems.

Overall, having a great trip and loving the T@b. The a/c has done pretty well, but it definitely struggles in the hot, direct Moab high temps.

We thought of you...driving through Ouray on our way home from a great 3 days in Crested Butte.

I believe that Mt Evan's is the highest road in the continental US.  I've been up there and am not sure I would be hauling a trailer up that bad boy!  Glad your trip is smoothing out and hope things go well the rest of the way.

It's pretty "up there."  I've been all the way to the top just once.  I'll bet Jenn got some really great pictures, though! =D>

I was at Echo Lake, which is around 9000-10000‘. It is a lovely campground but the sites are very close together.

Jenn...still on schedule for Ouray?

jkjenn

Yup

Jen, we just returned from CO.  We weren't camping, but staying with our daughter and son-in-law in Littleton.  We may have been around Golden at the same time.  I think we were through there on July 8.  We did see a white and grey T@B driving in RMNP as we were eating at a picnic table.  Loved the park and hope to camp there some day.  Check out this bull elk I photographed.

Wow, great photo!

That is an amazing rack!   Imagine carrying that headgear around full time!  Yikes!
