GOLDEN GATE CANYON STATE PARK
(July 14, 2006) |

Here are the attendees at the 2006 Rocky Mountain
Outbackers Rally. We had 8 families get together and it was a great
success. Here is how to identify the Outbackers:
1. Kneeling in the front row on the left are The
Happy Campers with their dog Pepper.
|
|
|
On Saturday morning the only Outbackers up in time to
take the Ranger-guided hike to Panorama point was Castle Rock Outbackers and
his family. Sure, the other Outbackers "talked" about attending the
hike, but amazingly none were present when the hike began. We did run
into The Happy Campers half-way through, however.
|
|
|
Here are some members of the Ranger-led hike resting and
taking pictures of Panorama Point.
|
|
|
Castle Rock Outbackers youngest two kids enjoy a graham
cracker at the hike rest stop.
|
|
|
Here is 2500Ram's site.
|
|
|
2500Ram enjoyed a great backyard on his site.
|
|
|
Here is the Coloradododds4 site.
|
|
|
Here is Castle Rock Outbackers site.
|
|
|
The Happy Campers had this site.
|
|
|
RoxboroughSkiMan had a very nice site towards the end of
the loop.
|
|
|
The site separation in loop E at Golden Gate is very
good. Here you see Outbacker neighbors The Happy Campers in the
foreground and RoxboroughSkiMan in the background.
|
|
|
Colorado Campers had the largest site at the back of the
loop, so we held the potluck there on Saturday evening.
|
|
|
Here is the Rich in CO site.
|
|
|
And finally, here is the GenesRUs site. Rumor is
Parker Outbacker's Ford F250 PSD will be pulling the GenesRUs 21 RS in the
near future. The rumor beyond that is the 21
RS will be replaced by a 25 RS-S or 26 RS.

Here is Rich in CO grilling the equivalent of a side of
beef...cut into three great-looking ribeye steaks.
|
|
|
RoxboroughSkiMan is ready to stab anyone that comes near
his grilled chicken breasts.
|
|
|
Here Castle Rock Outbackers tells RoxboroughSkiMan about
the pleasures of planning and organizing an Outbacker rally. Rich in
CO looks on with an unconvinced look.
|
|
|
Rich in CO, RoxboroughSkiMan, and 2500Ram take a look at
the hitch hardware on Colorado Campers 28 RLS.

Getting ready for the potluck, 2500Ram and wife,
RoxboroughSkiMan, Rich in CO and wife and daughter talk about the elite
status bestowed on all those who Outback.

Ladies visiting at the potluck. Pictured here left

More visiting at the rally potluck.
|
|
|
GenesRUs and wife get in line behind Colorado Campers at
the buffet table. The blue cooler on the picnic bench kept the party
pig of Castle Rock beer ice old.

The Happy Campers hanging out with their pup Pepper.
Note the color-coordinating leash and collar on Pepper.

The older Outbacker kids set up a Badminton game.
Look at the younger Outbackers come running to see what they were doing! What a great rally we had. Already looking forward to next year. The likely location is Stillwater by Lake Granby, but who knows. |
