Run To The Rockies II
(general information)
Glad you are considering joining our core group of 5 cars to make this run.
As in all our out of state runs, owners are free to join us and leave us as
their schedule permits. This run is not a "Club Event" and participants are
as always responsible for their vehicles, valuables, and themselves. This
year we will be joined by several out of state TDROC members and we are
currently planning to link up with WyCoRC on Sunday July 29th for a drive up
Mount Evans. This is the highest road in the lower 48 states.(14,264ft.)
We did the drive four years ago and it was a blast ! The following numbers,
etc.... are only given as a convenience to you and if you choose to stay
someplace else or even camp that is great. We will not be receiving any
special rebates or discounts at these hotels. You are responsible for
calling in your own reservations the numbers are listed below so please call
promptly. If you are interested in joining us for the entire run or joining
us some where en route please e-mail me now <mikeadam@wcnet.net> this way we
can be sure and get together with you. Five roadsters will easily be lost
on the backroads of Colorado. If you can't make the entire run with us -
that's ok - if you can that's even better. Feel free to come and go as your
schedule permits. Once again the owners in the core group will be assigned
specific extra parts to carry along with them incase someone in the group
needs them. This allows us to have many spare parts and not have to carry
all of them ourselves. If you are in the core group and have some New parts
at home please consider bringing them along and telling me what they are,
what model they fit. Last time out I believe I carried a water pump, alt.
and several rebuild kits. Hopefully this note will answer some of your
questions. Please contact me if interested ASAP by mailing it to: TDROC,
4328 FM 1301, Wharton,Tx. 77488. I will be in and out for the next few
weeks so if you e-mail me - it might be a
while before I respond. This is as complete a detailed route list I can give
- if you have any questions please e-mail me. Thanks Mike
