Colorado Pelican drive through Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park

[porschenut]

I was thinking a drive over Trail Ridge Rd through the park is in order for Saturday or Sunday morning, Sept. 12th or 13th. Any else agree? The plan is to start on the Grand Lake side 7 or 8 am and head over to Estes Park for breakfast/brunch/lunch at The Egg and I, getting there around 10-ish (depending on road obstacles).

Reply here or PM me to let me know:

1. If you're up for it
2. Which day works better
3. If you plan to skip the meal and head home for football instead. Broncos don't kick off until 2:25 pm on Sunday.

Hello Dave,

I might consider coming up the canyon to meet you guys in Estes. I live right at the bottom on big Thompson Canyon on the outskirts of Loveland. If I get my 74 out of paint by then, I might even be able to introduce the new car.

Sure, as long as you stop once in a while and let the rest of us catch up!

Matt, hope you can make it. There will be at least one other 74 in the group.

I'm in...for Saturday or Sunday. Anybody have a condo in Winter Park? Be a lot easier to go up late in the afternoon, stay over night and get an early start from WP in the am.

Ernie is looking forward to an "Italian tune up".

Ha I don't drive to crazy yet!

I'm in for either day!

Can't do the 13th... remotely possible I could do the 12th.

[arrivederci]

Might be time to bring my '72 out for some fun!

Sunday would work for me.....

I'd camp it the night before to avoid to avoid waking up at 3AM.

I live near Boulder, so could meet you all in Estes - either day is OK with me!

We need to hit up our friends that may be summer-complacent. There may even be some Ft Collins and Denver folks looking for a drive.

I drove from Boulder to Grand Lake and back today. I could possibly meet on the Estes side on Sunday. New to the forms and air cooled ownership, so it would be nice to meet some folks.

I keep my 78 SC in Estes, but in the restoration mode. Would like to meet up with you guys though.

Sounds like an amazing time - wish I lived there! I took a motorcycle trip through that part of the country last year -- absolutely stunning place.

I saw your car last night parked out on North Broadway. Around 7pm. Looked very clean, as I drove by.

Great idea for a drive, unfortunately I will miss it. Looking forward to pics!

Great Idea, I think I can make one of those days work.

Might be time to dust off my SC!

For the guys in Denver/Boulder area we should pick a place to meet up down here for the drive to Grand Lake

Wait - didn't the OP say drive from Winter Park to meet in Estes? I thought the folk from Denver area would drive up to Estes to meet at Egg & I. Are you suggesting we go to WP and back?? How about meet half way - at the Trail Ridge summit, then all go down to Estes?

[Matt Monson]

I think the proposed drive is a loop up 70/40 and back down 34. If I still lived in Boulder County I would be in. But I'm almost in Ft Collins these days.
