Rocky Mtn Rendezvous??

jw0747 · Jun 14, 2011

is there going to be a Rocky Mtn Rendezvous during this summer? if so when and where?

The Bronco Registry of Northern CO is hosting the Rocky Mountain Rendevous at its old location in Ouray....I've already reserved a spot at the Ouray KOA Kampgrounds, which will be the base of operations. The official days will be Aug 5-7th. Shoot me a note if you're interested in coming. I'm expecting a small group of folks. Should be a blast.

Where can I find more info? This sounds like something I definatly want to check out.

Jason, traditionally it's a 'non-event' type of event. You just show up and 'conveniently' theres a group of other Bronco owners there and we all decide to go check out the local trails... The trails are mostly scenic and not to technical although there are a few that are.

I'm hoping to make it this year myself.

Everything he's said has been dead on.

There's another group thinking of doing a bigger event from what I understand, but not in the same location. Hopefully one of those folks will pipe up. I believe they were looking at Buena Vista.

This was started back in '97 or thereabouts as a wheeling event we could bring our wives and kids along with us...not the white knuckle, damage guaranteed kind of wheeling most of us were dong at the time. The trails are legendary, and they will induce pucker factor, but they're not technically challenging (with a built rig you can do them all in 2wd). We have had a rollover and we've had body damage in the past but that's the exception rather than the rule. It's a super enjoyable weekend.

Coby, could you post this some info on the ColoradoClassicBronco website? A few people have been asking about RMR info and I'm not sure if they make it over here.

Yes please do post up on CCB. As a group we are looking at doing a camping/wheeling around that time of year and around the ouray area. Maybe we can combine our 2 groups.

Yea, I can do that. Sorry for the slow response; been recovering from some surgery and I've been inconsistent. Blah.

If the campground is KOA they may not let me in, I pretty sure I'm still on super secret probation.

LOL - The Buena Vista KOA Campground Nazis were the worst I have ever encountered! %)

jw0747 · Jun 17, 2011

Don't remember that we had a problem with Ouray KOA at last RMR there 3 yrs ago. unlike the following year at KOA in Buena Vista where the park rules outnumbered the campers.
"you're not going to overhaul that engine in that camp site!!"

1sicbronconut · Jun 19, 2011

Yup the KOA in Ouray is top notch!

Scoop · Jun 20, 2011

Wish I could make it this year. RMR 2 years ago was a blast. Beautiful scenary and we covered a LOT of ground. AWS can attest, my engine ran like crap aboove 12K feet. Now that I am injected, I'd really like to get out there again!

Zillacon · Jun 20, 2011

CCB had a poll for the weekend that suits our group so we will hook up with you guys down there for some fun at the same time and I think most of us will be in the same KOA.

I am planning on making the trek from Texas this year for the Rendezvous. I will plan on staying in the area longer than the 3 days to make the trip worthwhile. Is anyone going to be there longer and want to do some additional trails? If so before the un-official event or after?

Thanks
Andrew

coby · Jun 28, 2011

We'll be there from the 3rd to the 9th...we'd love to do more trails with you if you like.
