Doc_Mike · February 10, 2011, 8:10pm

And wisdom, much wisdom…
Amber, perhaps you could tell the newbies about the evils of too much hooch the first night in the canyon (no pun intended). :lol :lol :lol

Start preachin’ or I show them the picture! :evil

In defense of Hot Mess, I think that Duk Tape Man framed her…and took advantage of her niceness…

H.M. did score a ton of swag, however… she’s my idol!

HuckinFappy · February 13, 2011, 5:36pm

See, we’ve never met, since I missed your only year…but that right there is enough to make me love you a little more!

Once you got your tent back together (Monday morning) after Hurricane DTM tore it up that first night I got my hat back, and I think I helped you identify some of the other stuff’s original owners too. But I bring extra, just in case, because someone ALWAYS needs something! You did just fine.
After TBF, RG, and Pagosa, you are most definitely family, especially after making all those GRITS at 8 freakin’ a.m! I am still hoping to try some, but unless you make them for dinner, I’ll most likely miss again. :lol :coffee

Debbiefromtucson · February 16, 2011, 6:00am

Grits… YUM… I’m putting in a request for some now… I’ll trade you a Bloody for some…LOL

hi folks, this will be my first Telluride also. coming in from New York and have a few questions.
1: would you rather drive in from new mexico or denver?
2: will there be markers for the grandfathered camps in town park or just people letting you know not to set up there?
3: is town park a car camping set-up?
thanks for now. mike

New Mexico (Abq) may be a shorter drive. Durango even shorter.
No markers for veteran camps, just people telling you where they are.
No cars without a vehicle pass, and you won’t need your vehicle unless you’re camping in it.
There’s free parking after you unload your gear.
:cheers

:wave
1: would you rather drive in from new mexico or denver?
Either choice is good… New Mexico takes you through many more life zones from desert to alpine.

2: will there be markers for the grandfathered camps in town park or just people letting you know not to set up there?
The traditional camps all set up and have representatives on site during the land rush at the earliest possible arrival time.

3: is town park a car camping set-up?
No

thanks for now. mike

You’re welcome
:peace
