Who's staying at the KOA?

Just wondered how many people were also staying at the KOA- they didn't seem to know about GOX, but I saw a few people mention they were staying there. She asked if I was with the Jeep Jamboree even after I told her it was for Xterra's!

Has anyone seen a 30" black tire laying around here?

I will be staying there..

Allright! Hopefully there will be a few others. There's nothing listed "social wise" for Friday night- maybe we can have our own KOA party!

Is this the one by the hot springs? If so anyone have their number..I need to make a reservation. Also where is the schedule on the net?

GOX stuff... http://www.xterraownersclub.com/gox2/index.html

Click Itinerary for the current list of times.

This will be updated a bit more by next week, and I'll be sending out much more info to those on the GOX list (and here).

I will be camping there with at least 3 other members of SCCX. The campground is about 4 miles north of the town; web site is http://www.koa.com/ but your better off just calling 1-800-562-8026 for a more immediate response.

Several of us shared sites last year and you can generally fit three tents/trucks on many of the sites. I really enjoyed camping there last year the campgrounds are nice and full featured…showers, water, etc . Can't beat the price especially if you share as site, which I recommend.

Whats happening that first weekend?, I can't make it during the week? The itinerary nly talks about a trip late Sunday night at 8pm.

Not much.
"GOX-proper" is Monday through Friday. The weekends were tacked on for travel days, or for people arriving early or leaving early.

That 8PM for Stony Pass is a typo. That's a day run with PNWX (I've fixed it).

RMXC is running a pre-GOX event, but it is full at this time. Space may open up since some people are not attending. I'll have more info this week.

Shanna & I (along with Rocky & Natasha) are staying at the KOA in one of the Kamping Kabins. I don't know where the other AzXC's are staying.

Rocky and Natasha are Ridgebacks and will make it difficult, if not impossible to make any of the events on the social calendar. We're all for a KOA party.

This is one of the reasons I recommend not bringing pets. They do interefere with social things. If you are heading to Moab after GOX, be aware that Canyonlands and Arches do not allow pets of any kind, even in vehicles.

Dogs are fun to take wheeling, but for something with so much going as GOX, we're leaving our Rudy behind for a week, and I recommend others think hard about it.

Dogs need to be leashed when outside vehicles, or on verbal commands. Dogs love to chase marmots and pikas, and they are all over the place. The altitude can be exhausting to dogs not acclimated, and the sharp rocks can do a lot of damage to their pads.

Our dogs have interfered with many a social gathering. It's a choice we made when deciding to accept the responsibility of pet ownership. We believe they add more to our lives than what we lose.

There are many areas that don't allow dogs, for multitudes of reasons. Thank's for letting us know these too are on that list.


Most of the time Like our friends that bring children, there are time when we wished we would have left them somewhere else.


Which is why many areas ban them. They can be detrimental to wildlife and in certain areas attract wild cats which eat the dogs for dinner.

When 4-wheel'n we aim to be responsible and tread lightly. We assume the same responsibility with our pets. Thanks for the advice. I don't mind being reminded of my responsibility and warned of the dangers.

I think that fire's dying... needs another log.

$21 and you can put 2-3 tents on a site

Amen Brother! Thank God for neoprene seats!!

I hope the KOA appreciates the honor of receiving so many Xterra's.

Just to add to Accasbel's comments about Rocky and Natasha. Our dogs are more like kids to us than many dog owners we've met. In the 2+ years that we've had our dogs, we have never taken a vacation without them (including a cross-country trip from AZ to IN - it wasn't Eukanuba, it was Iam's!!) We go 4-wheeling several times a month and have only left them behind one time when we had passengers in the truck and couldn't fit the dogs too. We sacrafice a lot of socializing for them and we camp instead of hotel for them to be with us - but it is SO worth it!

Finally, the most compelling reason that our dogs HAVE to come to GOX:
the ONLY reason I got rid of my two-seater and bought the X was because of the dogs!! The truck is theirs almost as much as it is mine.

I got a tent site at the KOA, so I'll be there. And I promise not to bring Utah beer!

My vacation not only includes GOX, but also a trip to see the family in PA for a few days, so I'm bringing Boscoe (14 mo. black lab) with me. I didn't want to impose upon the people I'm sharing the condo with, so I've found a great place to board him while I'm in CO. It's called Wash-N-WatchDogs and it's in Redvale. They mostly board Labs and Goldens and they were highly recommended by the 3 vets I called. This place is different in that the dogs are not caged....they have acres of fenced property to run in, the owners are both trainers and their rates are better than anywhere here in Boston. I spent a good hour on the phone with them and they've gladly answered any questions I have had. I know there's probably somewhere closer to Ouray to keep him, but the benefits of this place make up for the distance. Besides, it's much better than leaving him in Boston. If anyone else needs somewhere for their dog, check them out at www.washnwatchdogs.com

I'm still trying to weasle some leave out of these guys. What is your campsite # Xtoolbox? Maybe I can get something nearby For those that haven't found it yet the web address for the Ouray KOA is, go figure, http://www.rver.com/OurayKOA/ouraykoa.htm

------------------

Just got an email from Ouray KOA. There is a limit of one vehicle per campsite. This may change some of your plans...

I've just booked one of the cabins for Sunday the 2nd and Friday the 7th. (I'm in a condo Mon-Thurs nites.) So there's still some availability there.

I spoke with them yesterday and she told me it was 2 per campsite for $21. She brought up the 2 people, I didn't even ask her.
People last year put 3 on a site.



------------------
Has anyone seen a 30" black tire laying around here?

And if not we can work something out, we could park extra vehicles outside of the KOA and still share the tent sites.
Although I doubt it will be a problem.

OK, Kirk, Oleg and myself have reserved a tent site(no cabins left) and is everyone with tent sites trying to be in the same area? If so which sites do you have...we would sure hate to be next to a family with kids instead of next to all you GOX partying fools

Hmm good question I have a camp site reserved but have no idea where how can we check and maybe ask them to shuffle us all in the same area. Since most reservations are for kampsites with no mention of exactly where it shouldn't be any problem for them to shuffle us together I guess we could just call and explain that those who say they are there for gox would want to be near each other. does anyone have the phone #.

Ok guys I called koa and informed them about GOX and that we would like to be near each other. They now will know what you are talking about when you call. Try to do it soon while it is still fresh in your mind. They said that they wrote a note with my name down and if others call in and request to be in the same area for gox they will write down our names and place us near or next to each other.

Then number is above but here it is again

Well, being the procrastinator that I am, (actually, the AF finally gave me their blessing for this trip), I still haven't reserved a spot at the KOA. So, does anyone have room in their site for me, or do I still need to call and get a site of my own?

Well right now there are exactly 2 people on my site so I bet we could squeeze you in lobo.

Well, I appreciate the offer, but isn't it only 2 vehicles/tents per site?

I need someone to split a site with. Email me if interested.

That is correct you are only allowed 2 vehicles per site but I am sure we could find an extra space for other vehicles. anyway if we all end up in the same area we can designate one site for parking and the rest for camping wherever. Who knows what it's gonna be like. Anyway there will be plenty of people there so you should have no problem finding someone to share with.

If someone needs a place I have a site and it is just me and my X but I'm only there from the 3rd to the 5th (2 nites). But you are welcome. Just email me.

I just made a reservation for myself and Sgt Lobo. I mentioned GOX and they said we were the first people for it (obviously not true). They asked for a list of people that were with GOX, but I don't know anyone's real names. If you are staying at the KOA, PLEASE CALL THEM AND LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE WITH GOX! (800-562-8026) I know there are quite a few people staying there, and they do not know you are with GOX.

Ok well lets try to get a list of people staying at the koa together email me your real names and I will call koa and give them the whole list. Try to give me the name that youre reservations are under. Send them to wajudoo@hotmail.com I will collect names till thursday to get them all together and then call koa with the list.

I just made reservations yesturday (Sun 8/19) and they didn't seem to know what GOX or Xterra meant. We plan to get there sometimes on Sun 9/2. Cya there!!

I explained it all to them a month ago- they're apparently not that bright. I think there's been about 5-6 people who have explained it to them. i wouldn't worry about it. The campsites aren't set in stone and being that it's right AFTER labor day, there will be plenty of sites available.
