New in Colorado!

[JuicyCarp]

Good morning all, new member here in Colorado!

My buddy and I have decided there is just too much unseen wilderness out there, and we are too old to walk and see it all! So, overlanding seemed like a reasonable compromise. We have spent the summer getting out and seeing new local areas, getting our families involved, and mostly trying to convince our wives that yes, all this equipment is necessary!

I drive a 2017 GMY Yukon XL, which is a pretty good-sized rig and it has its haters. However, I can load up my family of 5, 2 dogs, all our gear, full size matress in the back, and there hasn’t been a place we haven’t been able to get to yet! I am sure there is much to learn, and I am pretty excited to learn from everyone on the forum, and hopefully make a few more friends in the process.

Awesome rig. Good to see another coloradian on here.

Colorado active on here? Has Colorado had any meetups or anything yet?

 

[Colorado dude]

Ya on the front range. I’m on the western slope so I tend not to make it out there very often

Nice! I think the Jeeps get a little cranky sometimes. You know, when we are on trail, its 95 degrees, and I have those nice vented seats and all!

We drive what works, this works for me!

I've done my share of Jeeping so no hating there either.

I've had this Chevy since late 2001. I don't even know what vented seats are!

BTW, Pueblo West here. I haven't heard of a front range Meetup for a few months.

With any luck, that can be fixed soon!

Welcome from Austin, TX. I love seeing all the Full Size rigs being used for Overlanding. I'm considering one myslfe, to supplement my JK, when I need a bit more comfort.

I am from the Fort Collins area of Colorado. Spend alot of time in the woods. Have a 2017 Ram 1500 it gets tinkered with a bunch. Nothing extreme but cover ground

More of the weekend warrior these days.

Good morning all, new member here in Colorado! ...

Welcome from another Colorado member.

Colorado active on here? Has Colorado had any meetups or anything yet?

Keep an eye on the Rally Point board ( https://www.overlandbound.com/event/?region=Rocky Mountain ) Been kinda slow over the summer with everyone out doing their thing, Last fall / winter there were monthly meetups to get together and talk, hang out and discuss everyone's plans and adventures. IIRC @Gary Bzzz and @JDGreens were setting them up at the time.

The good news is if there are not any events near you ... you can post an event and invite folks too. :D You've got plenty of good brew pubs and hangouts with large parking lots near ya in FTC / Windsor last time I was through that part of the state.
