We plan to go but it's so far off and we're both geezers so no telling what calamities may befall us. Looking forward to it and are excited (at least I am) about it.

[Jeff DeLong]

I am very interested. Jeff D. Cheyenne Wyoming. jdelong54@gmail.com

[Orlen Wolf]

We'll be there.

[Ed Harris]

I am usually in Gunnison the first week or so in August but usually do not bring the trailer.

Maybe this year I will make an exception?

[Earl E. November]

Sounds like fun,, Busy time of year around here for us, but it's on the schedule

[John McMillin]

You're not including any weekend days? That makes it tough on me, living in Denver. We're tapping into our available vacation before that, so weekends will be all we have as a family. But maybe I can come up for a day just to meet and greet?

[Thom Rowland]

Hope you can come up even if it's just for a day.

[Robin G]

As Thom suggested, even a day trip up is fun. Get to meet everyone and enjoy the day up there. I did last year and though it would have been nice to actually attend the rally for the length of it, I enjoyed my short visit...... Got to see some great glass and meet some terrific people and visit with old friends........

Is any kind of reservation needed or can we just show up?

No. Reservations aren't needed. Thom has reserved the group camp area. As I understand it is limited to 100 people but don't think it's a hard number. That said, if you plan to come just post the info to this thread or send a PM (or just show up).

I'm glad to hear of the possibility of another EggCamper at the rally.

Retired people have all the fun. I probably can't make it due to it not being on a weekend. Why not do a saturday to tuesday event?

[Jon Vermilye]

I have friends that live in Leadville, and am tentatively planning to be there, although because it is a long way in the future on a long trip, I can't be sure I'll be there at the time of the Rendezvous...

[Thom Rowland]

As Orlen said, no reservation needed. We are trying to compile a list of campers though.

[rgrugg]

Just decided that we (Bob & Grace Ruggles) are planning to be there. We'll bring our Egg Camper with us.

Is there going to be any pot luck supper at any time? Good way to overeat.

We are looking forward to meeting you there.
I think a Pot Luck supper would be in order, though nothing has been planned.

[rgrugg]

With nothing planned, I'd suggest that everyone bring their own meat and a dish to pass.

I agree.
Getting close.
FYI. Here is some information about Highway 24.
There is a sink hole near the top of Tennessee Pass on Hwy 24; thus NOT posing a threat to anyone driving south On Hwy 24 to Camp Hale from I-70 [Minturn Exit]. Only those driving north on Hwy 24 from Leadville would be affected if the "sink hole" is still a problem. All current info indicates that CDOT will have Hwy 24 open prior to August 9th.
