Thanks to everyone who made it to the 3rd annual CO4RJ. We had just over 30 vehicles. Other than the Colorado residents, people also came from Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, North Carolina, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and maybe other states. Thanks for a great time! Thanks to the sponsors of the free raffle, too. In addition to Azrain's skidplate, we also gave away a 10% discount for Slee Off-Road sliders, Off-Road Solutions showed up with really cool free rock sliders for a 3rd gen 4Runner in hand, and Stevinson West Toyota (parts department) gave us a bunch of hats, water bottles, keychains, and pens. If you get to these shops, please thank them for their support and let them know how much we appreciate their promotional donations.

The overwhelming group opinion for next year is to meet in Moab, Utah for the large gathering for this area of the U.S. We'll call it something other than CO4RJ, which started out as sort of a default name anyway. There still might be a smaller Colorado gathering next year, but most of my efforts will probably go toward the Moab event. Note: BLM has strict limits for large organized events in Moab and they have very stiff fines/penalties for exceeding them, so we'll probably have a strict limit in place for our gathering of something like 40 vehicles, but I'll need to check several things with them. Next Fall (like Oct.?) is likely for that event to avoid the heat of the summer.
