July 29th - Aug 1st, 2013: 3rd Annual Rocky Mountain Egg Rendezvous
The 3rd Annual Rocky Mountain Egg Rendezvous will be at Camp Hale, near Leadville Colorado, arrive July 29th and depart August 1st, 2013. This is a Group Camp site with no hookups that costs me $219 dollars for 3 nights to reserve for up to 100 persons. Donations will be appreciated to cover this expense. No reservations are required. We would appreciate letting us know if you will be attending.

Thom, we will try to swing over to say hi and hopefully see a Parkliner. We will be participating with the Mile High Jeep club in an event just southwest of Leadville at that same time though (20 miles separation) , so will not be camping with you guys.

I can vouch for the Camp Hale CG, where I stayed last weekend. The sites are spacious and the view from the group site is inspiring. The CG host is friendly and good-humored, if a bit scatterbrained. Be forewarned that there's no water available in camp. According to Ken, the host, the CG water system was abandoned after a train wreck spilled hazardous material within the watershed. It was cheaper to close off the wells than to continually test the water for purity. That's too bad, and it caught us by surprise, since we travel with minimum water to save weight. But Leadville's only 10 miles away, and it's always worth a visit to see a Colorado mountain town untainted by ski areas, golf courses or other modern redevelopments.

We'll be away that week at a sultry
East Coach beach-- wish I could be at the meet instead.

Orlen & Carolyn will be there (with Radar and Scruffy).

Here's a friendly little trick you could play on the CG host up at Camp Hale. "Ken's the name," he told me when I camped there two weekends ago. I'm from New England, and I love apples." It might be fun if everyone attending offered him an apple, "just for no reason." After a dozen or so, he'd be wondering what's up. Ken's a nice fellow, friendly, a bit lonely, I suspect.

If you actually pull this off, blame the guy with the lone Scamp who visited the month before. I can't attend-- gotta to go to the beach, where the in-laws gather every year.
