Gunnison '09 --- Is there a camping option?

[basco]

I like the Stevens creek idea. It's twelve miles away, twelve dollars for up to eight people, and there are showers close by for one dollar. Plus it is right by one of the best roads in CO. Is that to far away? Maybe I should ride up there next week and check out the options. It's only about 300 miles from me if I take the twisty route. Would be good to get a count of how many would like to group camp

I can live with 12 miles. BTW, I am 200 miles away. If I have nothing going on, I will scope it out. Im in for camping but where?

Just found the Mesa RV Resort (970) 641-3186 .Three miles west of town on #50,  showers, $18 per night for up to five people and a little more for additional people. They think a reservation would be a good idea. Sounds close to busy highway and lots of RVs. I am still leaning towards Stevens Creek.
Stevens Creek is twelve miles from town, so at 60mph it will only take twelve minutes to get to town and sixty is normal for that stretch. Just not sure how far the Gunnison Inn is from the town limit

Okay I am camping, but my vacation starts tomorrow when we head to Copper Harbor and upper Michigan for a week.  If someone can call me with what has been decided that would be great.

PM me for phone number.

Thanks,

Scott

Well, this happens every year. Just pick a place. i looked at a few places and either they are commercialized with a bunch of old geezers playing shuffleboard or something or far away from the meet with sites that have shrub and hard ground and no electrical. I am ready to just pick a site and it might be at the National Park at Black Canyon.

I am 95% sure I am going to stay at Stevens Creek . I am not into camping with RVs in KOA style campgrounds.

Pretty sure I'm camping too since I've forgotten to make reservations anywhere, guess I'll just swing by Stevens Creek and look for debauchery.

Looks like I am out unless I can get a cooling fan by Monday and put it in . Triumph wants $380. for it, so I am looking at fabricating one onto the shroud. Plus there is no Saturday delivery to Taos, but I am not giving up yet.

You can do it! We have faith in you!!!
Hit the local Checker Auto and slap on a universal job for like $80.00. You can get it done in like an hour or so and then you're up and running to the National!!! Don't let us down. Remember... it doesn't have to look pretty. Just work.

 Do you even need a fan? As fast as you're riding you'll have plenty of cool air going through the thing.

I just ordered one and it should be here by Monday afternoon. In the meantime I am going to cut the old one off the shroud and have it all ready to slap the new one on. I hope UPS does not blow this one. Rode back from Gunnison Thursday without it working but had to take a route without towns Made it all the way without problems until I got to the two mile dirt rode I live up. Had to let it cool down for fifteen minutes half way up my driveway.
