Anyone thinking about coming to the 2006 National Meet in Colorado: we'd
appreciate if you could take a minute and answer a few questions.
How much time are you thinking of spending in each of the following areas:
1. Metro Denver itself (includes Golden, Bandimere Speedway, Red Rocks
park, etc.)
2. In town, but not necessarily Denver (things that would be available
in any sizeable town, like restaurants, shopping, mini golf, etc.)
3. Driving around to different parts of the state. Either scenic
tours, or off-roading, or traveling to some specific attraction
someplace.
4. Hanging out around the camp site (BBQing, sitting around the fire,
taking a nap in a hammock, whatever)
We've been working on narrowing down the campgrounds from the list I
posted a few weeks ago. We've been making great progress, largely thanks
to Jim Ward's experience with the area and efforts driving around checking
out various sites in person.
We've realized that we're not really sure what the expectations are for
where we're going to be spending most of our time. This is going to have
an impact on where we want to be camped.
As for Denver, we've only identified one day that we'll need to be there.
We can do a tour of the Coors brewery in the morning, stop in at Red Rocks
for a picnic lunch, and head to Bandimere for racing in the afternoon. If
that's the only day we're going to be in the Denver metro area, then being
close to the city isn't a first priority.
Similarly, if we're going to be hanging out around the campground a lot,
then we'll want to have a nice campground. If it's mostly going to be a
place to sleep and eat, and we'll just launch from there to take off every
day to head out for whatever other activity we want to do, then the
scenery at the campground isn't quite as important.
We'd appreciate any thoughts or input you might have. Either post them
here, or send them to nationalmeet@dakota-truck.net if you'd rather keep
them off the list for any reason.
Thanks!
