New poll: When are you arriving/leaving Gunnison? Where are you staying?

[PhillyFlash]

I was wondering when everyone planned to arrive in Gunnison, so here is a simple poll. I've also added a second question to get an easy estimate of where people will be staying.

[Chris K]

Arriving Saturday night, leaving Sunday morning, returning Monday night!

[Bud]

Have cabin at KOA for Tue, Wed and Thur.

 

Leaving here Thursday. Staying with my son and family in Denver till Sun morning. Hope to meet some BMW riders at Morrison for breakfast and a ride on Saturday.

 

Going to Aspen with them on Sunday and riding to Gunnison on Tuesday.

 

Return to Aspen on Friday. Back to Denver on Sat. Leave Denver Mon or Tue. Back home Tue or Wed.

 

It's all good.

[Mike O]

[KMG_365]

Leslie and I are leaving Dry Town Sunday morning the 11th and arriving at the Gunnison KOA on Monday afternoon the 19th. We're spending a few days with Leslie's brother in Fayetteville, AR since it's on our way . . . .

. . . well I never WAS any good at Geography!

 

We're staying at my sister's place in Tucson on the way out, then hitting KOA kabins in Silver Springs, NM (future UnRally scouting trip? ) and Amarillo, TX. If you see two R1150RT's with amber motolights down low moving at a brisk pace, be sure to wave--unless you're riding your "other" bike, of course!

[DouglasR]

Hey, Leslie can't be out ridin' her scooter, she's gotta stay home and tend this website! What the heck is she thinking????

 

 

 

Thanks, Les! See ya there! Oh yeah, Jamie too!

 

Doug

[SANTA]

i do't start riding till monday so its 2 days ride and i don't want to rush it, staying at the Wildwood motel

[Joel]

Team Schnauzer is scheduled to depart Fort Collins on Monday and arrive at the KOA on Monday afternoon. Not sure yet if I'll be riding or towing on the way down. We're staying thru Friday morning, then off to Ridgway State Park for a few days, then back north to Stagecoach SRA for a couple of nights before returning to HQ. Can't wait. I really need this.

[Paul Mihalka]

Good plan. You remember the great roads from the Eureka Springs Un. Just watch out using your GPS. You might end up in Fayetteville GA, or one of the many other Fayettevilles

[Bud]

KOA for me. Leaving Seattle on June 10, arriving Arvada, CO on the 12th. Leaving for Gunny on the 19th (Monday). I figure I'll arrive, setup and go for a ride!

 

Staying thru the 23rd (my Sister's birthday) leaving Gunny on the 24th thru Utah, Nevada, Oregon and home again.

 

Hey Dog Dancer,

 

If you are going to be in Arvada on the weekend, why don't you come on down to Morrison for breakfast with the Colorado Beemers and then a ride.

 

BTW I was in Arvada last week. It's my home town. Lot has changed in the last 39 years!

[azkaisr]

KOA and getting in from the North Rim Tuesday.

 

Kaisr

[Amac]

KOA for me. Leaving Des Moines sometime, I've got the campground booked from Monday-Friday. Either will head back to Des Moines when I'm done or roll on west to the Seattle area, depending.

[Bud]

Colorado Beemers Saturday Morning Breakfast and ride.

[Mike O]

Bud,

 

Let's try this link to Colorado Beemers instead. Folks will find breakfast ride information towards the bottom of the page.

Hey Dog Dancer,

That's a good idea! I'll have to see you then! I grew up in the Applewood community of Golden and went to Wheatridge HS and UNC in Greeley.

 

Sat the 17th. I'm there!

[Joel]

I grew up in the Applewood community of Golden and went to Wheatridge HS and UNC in Greeley.

 

[hijack]Uh oh. I went to Campbell Elementary, Oberon Jr. High, and Arvada West before a detour to North Carolina that ultimately brought be to CSU and then DU Law. Small world, ain't it? Applejack is still the most impressive liquor store I've ever been in. [/hijack]

[Tank]

Leaving Oregon the 17th for ColoRADo. I haven't made a single plan how to get there and until the 26th i have no idea which route I'll take home. Just gonna give the RT its head and enjoy the ride. Lands sake, but I am excited.

To continue the hijack. I went to Arvada High because West wasn't even around in 1964!

[Joe Frickin' Friday]

On an extremely tight schedule. we pick up the 'Wing in Denver on Wednesday morning, 9AM. We'll get to Gunny in time for dinner, hoping to meet as many folks as possible at/after dinner. Thursday morning we gotta head out: the 'Wing is supposed to be back in Denver by 3 PM. Would dearly love to stay longer, but c'est la vie. Keep your eyes open for Joe and Mrs. Frickin'.

[Whip]

Glad you found some wheels...! Look forward to meeting you. You'll make it to Gunny and back the next day with time to spare.

...200 miles in 10 hours.....you gonna push it or pull it????

 

Cute. It's a Goldwing, and my wife will be with me. Which means this ride will be more "tour" than "sport:" I want to make sure she enjoys the trip, too. There will be scenic detours and plenty of stops, and if we get to Gunny ridiculously early, heck, maybe we'll take a run up 92 or something. Just gonna play it by ear...'Wing it, you might say...

I know(from an earlier post of your) but I couldn't resist....I've been hangin out with FlyinGreg who thinks anything less than 1000 miles a day is sight seeing....

 

I look forward to meeting ya at Gunny...a lot of my family still spends time in Ann Arbor.

[Ken H.]

Mitch,

 

When I saw your UNRally registration that said, "Honda GL800" I figured you were just yanking our chain. Now I find out it's TRUE!?!

 

WUWT? Guess I missed a story somewhere!

[steveknapp]

I want to make sure she enjoys the trip, too.

 

See how it goes. Make sure her biggest memory is the fun she had, not pulling her gear on/off 500 times as you stopped every 10' so she could stretch.

[Limecreek]

I've gone back and forth on attending and my wife helped me make my final decision. Guess I've been hanging around the house too much, so she wants me to go. Oh, man I love that woman!

 

You know...she seemed really happy that I was going... ...it must be the love for me, right?

 

Anyway, I am going to do an SS on the way up on Sunday and should arrive at the KOA around 8. I'll definitely need a shower and a cold one when I arrive.

[Calvin (no socks)]

Cool, see you there!

[bmwscoot]

Funny, though...

 

Barb and I usually don't stop at times while on the scoot just because we have had enough of the gear-on...gear-off for the day. When in the cage, we get lots more photos.

 

Oh, BTW, we are getting in Monday mid-day (if the CANBus, and ESA, and rear drive, and...let me ). This is after a Sunday stay with some of our old Minnesota friends (ex-GL riders along w/ me) who are now in Colorado Springs.

Gary Peterson is riding with as well.

 

Barb and I are roughing it at the HIEx, Gary at the KOA.

[hANNAbONE]

eXCELLENT gREGORY -- now the "praty" can begin..!!

[Lone_RT_rider]

You know...she seemed really happy that I was going... ...it must be the love for me, right?

 

Either that, or the mail dude hasn't spent near enough time in your recliner lately..... *evil grin*

 

Have fun Greg! Wish I could be there....I will be here at.....er.....work!...yah...that's it ...work!

 

Shawn

[PhillyFlash]

I can smell the ceegars already.

[Limecreek]

Calvin, Bone, can't wait to break bread with y'all.

 

Shawn, I'll make it a point to hoist one in your name....er, maybe two.

 

Howard, I'll be ceegar shopping next week...shopping the budget section of course .

[PhillyFlash]

Howard, I'll be ceegar shopping next week...shopping the budget section of course .

 

Don't worry, bro. I've got a fine $2.00 ceegar that's been in my glove box for two years now that I've been saving for ya. I didn't bother to take it out, cause I knew I'd run into you sometime.

[Limecreek]

Bring it and I'll smoke it down to a stub. I may need a few gulps of 18 year old firewater for motivation, but I'll smoke it!

[PhillyFlash]

[SageRider]

Arriving Monday PM at the HIE (HQ)!

Wife is gonna make it after all!

[algover]

Arriving Monday afternoon, at Alpine Inn.

Departing Friday morning.

[ittech]

Sneaked in

 

Arriving Tuesday afternoon/evening

 

Staying at Best Western Tomichi which looks close.

 

Leaving Friday morning, need to be back home that Monday.

 

No superadventure™ this year, but good to get out.

[Iron Al]

Looks like I'll be arriving on Monday 19 June. I'm staying at the Island Acres Motel .

 

They had several rooms left and their prices are extremely reasonable.

[PhillyFlash]

Well, folks, with 58 votes in (I know that are more of you out there), we are dead even - 29 will be camping, 29 in motels. Most of us will be getting there by Monday, but almost half won't arrive until Tuesday or later.

 

So now it's time for the next poll, when are you leaving Gunnison:

[Limecreek]

I'll be leaving Gunnison at first light on Friday and wouldn't mind some company on the way out if you are heading my way. Triple digit temps are forecasted for west Texas later this week (what else is new?), so I'll be leaving in the wee hours on the way up to Gunny to avoid the worst of the heat, but will be in it most of the day on the way home...ugh! I think I'll be leaving the stitch at home.

[KTsRidin]

Got to work Friday...

 

SO, Saturday at the crack of dawn it is! On to visit family overnight in Clarksville, TN. Sunday will (if all goes as planned) end in Amarillo, TX. Then a leisurely drive to Gunnison on Monday . Should be there in time for dinner if I don’t sleep too late on Monday morning (or don’t make Amarillo).

 

I’m nervous and excited all at the same time... can’t wait to see you guys (I must be sick! ). And Richard, I’ve got my mini-balls…

[ArizonaAl]

Arizona Al will be at the KOA and avaialble to take care of any hearing problems by appointment---Arriving on Monday and departing on Thursday.

 

See you all there!!!

[TNT]

I will be leaving Friday morring. but a bud just told me he will be staying in a big conndo at Breckenridge. He said that I can have the floor, if I like! So I may have to play one more day before heading North.

[JB-BMW]

Arriving Monday - Leaving Wednesday - Have to work on Friday. Same schedule for RussellW

 

Staying at the Water Wheel - Never could get though to HIE (HQ)
