Time for you phuggers to come do some tree shoots..............and fear the bear  :nod:

June 17-19 2011.













UPDATE:

Ok folks here some details.

Accommodations:

Walden is dry camp, no power or water available.  There is public toilets at Several areas.  We will be camping on the north end in the trees.  We will make sure to get up there early enough to grab area for us to camp together (as much as possible anyway).  (If camping isn't your thing there are motels).
There is not much in the town of Walden itself, so pack groceries.  There are 3 main towns/cities you will go through to get to Walden.  If you come from the south, most likely you will go through Winter Park which has a safeway for food ~1.5 hours before you arrive at Walden.  If you come from the central/northern part of Colorado you most likely come through Ft. Collins which is a large city with plenty of stores with food (~2 hours from Walden), if you are coming from the north through Wyoming, Laraime is ~1.5 hours N. from Walden with lots of stores.  


Locating us at the dunes:

I will create a sign at the only entrance with directions to our site for everyone to follow.  Most likely I will also create smaller signs to simply follow also. You can park wherever/however you want up there..no sites per say (and no fees)

Meals


I would like the meals from lunch on the 17th through breakfast on Sunday the 19th to be organized.  Personally, I prefer to have each camp have the responsibility for 1 meal, that way the same folks aren't always cooking/preparing and everyone gets more ride time.  MEALS DO NOT HAVE TO BE FANCY!  Just substance for the masses.  Let me know what you'd be interested in for a meal, and I'll keep track of it in this post.

Lunch 17th- Colorado700R
Dinner 17th- ???
Breakfast 18th- ???

Driving

The Sand dunes are north of Walden (~10 miles) and the VERY small town of Cowdrey on hwy 125.  The access rode is County Road 6e (CR6e), it will be just north of Cowdrey on the right. CR6e is ~8 miles long, it splits once prior to the dunes, stay right (I will have a RS rally sign at every major turn from 125 to the camp site).

If you are interested in riding along with another member, or following a member that has been to Walden before, let me know.

Can't wait to ride :nod:

denver dude

North sand hills OHV area, aka Walden sand dunes, and Colorado for that matter, has adopted the 96db law that some other states have.  The only db metering devices that they have to test us with is the Type 2 tester that is accurate supposedly to + or - 2 db.  I have had my Barkers tested up in Walden 3 times.  The results were, 101, 99, and 98db.  I have been up there on non holiday weekends, and have not been checked so far.  Holiday weekends they came through every camp checking for spark arrestors, and OHV stickers.  I did have one of them ask me to be tested, and I asked the guy to see his metering device first.  Woulden't you know it, his calibration sticker was overdue.  I just simply said, "If your metering device is not calibrated and certified, there is no reason for you to test me".  The guy just walked away from me with no further issues.  Just wanted to give all of you the heads up on the bull$hit laws that are now in place here.  I highly doubt that it will be an issue on an off holiday weekend, but I would be pissed off if I drove all the way in from out of state only to be ticketed for something that I had no clue about.  Hope this helps.  Look forward to seing all of you there.  Here is a link to the new laws.  DD
