Packing for Telluride

[Hippie]

OK we are going to start packing this weekend.
I have the song - where's the damn list?

Jen's helping bring some of my load so the goal is to see out the back of the car this year, not get pulled over, and not get lost.  Jerry, keep me on speed dial.  Maps, put maps on the list of things to get. 

I decided on the way to the last festival, I have a new motto on the car thing... "Seeing out the back window is over-rated".  This seemed to make packing less stressful.  (And since we drank all the booze and ate all the food, we could see out the back on the way home.)  Good luck Courtness, see ya soon!  XO

It does make for a cozy little cacoon driving along and you have more time before you notice the flashing red lights in the rear view mirror.

Gypsy,  A while back you wanted to pack light and still weren't sure there would be enough room for you to sit inside the truck, then you said you were considering bringing your free box.  So maybe a skateboard and a rope to attach to the truck.

By now I should be able to point my car in the right direction and let it do the rest.  Then again I would probably end up in New Orleans.

ABALONE, yum.  I've had to pound a few and it's always been worth it.  You'all have to come to Kim's birthday party this year.  See you soon.

I thought I was going to fly in, but Now... Well The skate board sounds great!
And the free box will be reusable in some form or another, the word "box" is an overstatemnet.
The Kaptain will make me walk the plank if I take tooo much,
but I always pack too much,
it is part of my charm,

Curious question.....or maybe you can help in a discussion between Steve and I...LOL

Has anyone ever pulled a pop-up camper fully loaded for Telluride camping with a newer Minivan ??? ( 2006 Toyota Sienna)  Plus we will need to do this in rather HOT ( 105-110) temps and through lots of mountain grades....

[melndon]

Uhhhh Mr Hippie,

normally we let the kids pack when we go camping and try to figure out what they forgot while we are on the way, this year we were putting a list together so I looked at yours. wow, very complete, you are a master indeed.

I have studied everything and only have one question....

duck call??

 

[Hippie]

it's bad.... get ready for it....
 
I bring the duck call because I'm all quacked up.
 

 Listening to: white freightliner blues

[melndon]

no that's a good answer, I can relate to quacked up

that means there are multiple uses for gaffers tape then?

As we are gathering all our goodies for Telluride I was skating around and discovered this

I felt it my Festivarian duty to share!     Look!   It's sunny & BEAUTIFUL!!!   

Oh......can we go NOW?!??!!!        

 Listening to: Bloodstone / Judas Priest should I be admitting this????

That's fine, but this web camera is better...

Not only is it live, but it has audio!

It's a couple doors West of Floradora's and you can move it around yourself.

Time to change my home page  .

[melndon]

I think I just heard a guy sitting at the table outside sweet life begging his girl friend to marry him.

[melndon]

cancel that, it was a young boy asking his mom for another coke.  I think the wind threw me off.

[cletusaz]

Well after an exhausting practice run...... I have discovered that I can indeed fit an upright bass, a guitar, a mandolin, a fiddle, my brother, and enough camping gear and beer for us both to be comfortable for ten days into a Toyota Camry  ..... It aint pretty, but it will work!!  Now I just have to break it to my brother that the bass is riding shotgun 

See ya all soon!!!!!

God only knows that there are people in Wander-In' who know more about ABGATing than me (recall I just arrive to a tent that has already been "set up" [or is it me who gets set up]) but Wander-In'  may need some help from people this year because we won't have our two advance guard knights-in-shining-armor, Carolyn and Ron, to grab space and set up.
