Meetup/Campout during the 14erfest at Buena Vista, CO this weekend - 09/28/2018

[Neal A. Tew]

UPDATE: CAMPSITE HAS MOVED. New coordinates below.

This is an opportunity for those participating in the Buena Vista 14erfest to meet, camp and perhaps ride the trails together.
Neither OB nor myself have any affiliation with this event. I know that a few of us are signed up to participate in the 14erfest. The last minute idea to create a Rally Point came up at the recent OB Rally Point in Twin Lakes. (click MORE below)

4x4 trails are only one venue of the event. There is a vehicle show&shine on Friday evening and multiple trail rides planned for Sat & Sun. The entry cost is $25 and they have pay camping at the event. However, I'm hoping you'll come camp with myself and hopefully others. The trail rides vary from easy to hard. You choose! I believe I'm signed up for Mt Antero on Sat and Aspen Ridge on Sun.

The Rally Point location is the group camp site. We might also consider a meetup in town (perhaps during show & shine for anyone not wanting to come out to the Rally Point campsite). This will be decided upon and updated soon.

See you there

Just got back from Nova Scotia and not prepped for a trip right away. Does sound like a great idea though. Maybe next time?

 

[Neal A. Tew]

See you there

Will you be there as a vendor or do you plan to roast marshmallows with us? ;)

We were just at the OB event at Twin Lakes ourselves. Independence Pass was quite crowded as you might imagine.

Would love too, but I will be helping a friend install skid plates on his 2018 Crosstrek.
Maybe next year.

Yeah, and I imagine that it's going to be pretty busy this weekend also.

How are you hearing about the OB events? I obviously got notice of this event, but hadn't heard of anything going on at Twin Lakes

I think it was because I'm subscribed to the Rocky Mountain section of the forum. It was either that or through the OB Rocky Mountain Facebook page. There were no invites sent as I did with this event.

Ah okay. I just got back on Facebook so I'll make sure I follow the group on there. Definitely want to get out to a local event in the near future!

Hope to meet you soon!

We may try to come up on Saturday for the day to see the vendors and activities. Not sure yet!

Hope to meet you soon!

Turns out we aren’t going to make it Neal. We need to be back in Golden early on Sunday morning so Brittany doesn’t want to camp for just Saturday night and I don’t want to drive up just to turn around and drive back. But have fun and take photos for the rest of us. I’m sure it will be a great time!

No worries. Thanks for the heads up.

Hopefully there will be more on vendor display tomorrow. So far, not so much.

See you next year in Ouray!

Sounds great! This is the thread for last year's event that I threw together at the last minute.

This is the Rally Point for this year's (2019) event: 14erFest in Buena Vista, CO

It can be found in the Rally Point - Rocky Mountain section or from the initial post in the other thread:

US Rocky Mountain - 14erFest in Buena Vista, CO

This is a camping meetup and trail run while supporting the 14erFest event. While they will have an onsite camping area, we will camp for free in adjacent Fourmile Travel Mgmt Area. UPDATE: Overland Bound nor myself have any connection to 14erFest. I planned this outing because this area is...
