Maybe next year. I was thinking of a trip to Moab and that’d be a great night in between.

It’s a beautiful area. |

Interesting. Already have reservations for Chapman campground next week but if I get out that way I will check them out.
We will be going into Rifle, there is a restaurant there I want to support.

Quoted: This is a neat little campground/resort owned by some friends of mine. It's east of Meeker up the White river valley. Really nice folks and their rates are very reasonable. Ute Lodge Great fly fishing and trail riding/hiking in the area and it's in a little corner of Colorado that isn't a giant tourist trap. |

Look us up if you’re out there then. We’ll be in an Airstream with a bright red F350. You’re also welcome to IM me if you need any recommendations for side by side rentals or horseback/fly fishing guides. Be sure and check out Trappers Lake, Rifle Falls and take a day trip to Dinosaur Monument. The Museum of Northwest Colorado in Craig also has a great collection of antique Colts and Winchesters if you’re into that kind of thing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @RobertL we're out there June 22-June 26th, so we'll miss you by a month. SxS rentals sounds cool, we have a few children with us so not sure the horseback thing will fly but as I understand it they do give free pony rides for the kids so we'll try that out. I'll definitely check out some of those other spots. I really need to spend more time in this area, I bow hunt in the meadow creek lake but haven't gone into meeker or any place around that area. It's beautiful country up there Rent your SxS at Gianinettis in Meeker, be sure to have them deliver it to the campground for you. Only costs $150 extra and gives you a couple of extra hours of ride time on your rental. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @RobertL we're getting ready to hit this place up, I was going to reserve the SxS. Are the trails pretty self evident to find from the campground? I have a party of 5, 3 adults and 2 toddlers (4,5). Better to get one 6 person or a 2 person and 4 person? Thanks for the info! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Rent your SxS at Gianinettis in Meeker, be sure to have them deliver it to the campground for you. Only costs $150 extra and gives you a couple of extra hours of ride time on your rental. With the two little ones, I would get the 6 person and just stick them in the middle. We had 4 adults and an 8 year old in that unit last year and did fine. They will provide you with a tablet with a gps map program that works great. They also sell a great map for $5 if you want a backup. The trails are well marked, we’ve never had a problem navigating. Have fun! We’ll be out there in about 6 weeks. I can’t wait. @Slickbaby ETA, tell Karl Bob said Hi! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Leaving for Colorado Sunday, can’t wait! Of all the places that supposedly “treat you like family” Ute Lodge definitely delivers. That was one of the most relaxing weeks of my life. Anything I mentioned I might need they were offering before I finished asking or my personal preference ‘it’s right over there if you need it. Just take it’. The wildlife, the riding, the hiking, the views, great fishing nearby. What more could a person ask for? (I stayed in the yurt for the week) It’s 30 miles from anything so anybody thinking of going make sure to plan accordingly. ETA There’s a lady that sells ice nearby. That’s about the only close provision. |

I needed exactly what it is. A beautiful place run by caring people. I did share with a few people how that area goes from simplicity to beyond extravagant in just a few miles. That Elk Creek Lodge is quite the place. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Damn I bet that rides like a Cadillac even on Colorado’s busted ass roads. Are you and the family the outdoorsy type? Plenty of great places to camp and ride out east but I’m sure you’re already aware of that. |

We have camp set up and have already been for a short SxS ride to say hi and visit with some of the locals we know.
 The table set up under the awning is my outdoor kitchen complete with electric and water. I do most of the cooking when we camp and I don’t like cooking in the camper. |
