your friend wouldn't happen to be the one who bought my old wagoneer would it? would be nice to see if it is still alive. i'll be in site 52. all the sites are nice, sites 50-the 52's are pretty good size compared to others.

It would be great if you can make it and bring the rig!
A bigger feat will be trying to bring the wife. Her idea of camping is the Ritz Carlton. Wish me luck! :!:

I have limited vacation this year that has been scheduled for a Moab trip, a run out to the Rubicon Trail, and a week long event my Jeep club hosts every year.

I'm looking at only being able to be out there maybe a Thursday night (though Friday is more likely) through Saturday/Sunday.

The KOA camp sites are set up for a maximum of 4 people per. Rather than claim a site for the duration, I'd like to see if there's anyone that has a tent site who would be willing to take me on as a co-resident for a day or three. I'd be happy to pay half the cost (even if I'm 1/4 of the people on the site). I'll have my own small tent and not much else besides the truck.

If you can't fix it with a hammer or duct tape you have an electrical problem.

Krista and I will be offering up tent site 47 since we are staying in a Kabin this year. It is a nice shady spot and only floods when it rains. ;) PM me if you are interested.

Hey guys long time since I've been a contributing member on the Full Size Jeep Network but I am still a FSJ enthusiast and avid jeep owner. I am going to be able to attend the FSJ invasion the 12-15 I have cabin 83. Although I don't currently own a full size jeep anymore I will have a newer grand cherokee their to help anyone off the mountain etc or lend a hand wrenching. I currently own a 1975 cj5 rock crawler and a 1948 willys truck im restoring to hopefully have finished to bring next year. I am always on the look out for a 70's era fsj but just havent found one I want yet. I was going to bring the cj5 this year but I decided to bring my 63 year old mom a long she has always wanted to see the San Juan mountains and drive the jeep trails hence me bringing the more modern cherokee for her comfort. It does have 4lo real tow hooks and hill descent control. Hopefully you will all welcome me even with having only a Cherokee this year. I am good friends with Hatchet Jack and go fourwheeling with him often. Cant wait to see you all there!

Pictures of my Willys truck, 1989 wagoneer I built, and my 75 cj5 rockcrawler.

You don't need a FSJ, or a Jeep, to come the Ouray invasion. Just come and enjoy. The more the merrier.
