50/50 split with camping.... meaning motels the other times or what?

[Skatchkins]

50 offroad / 50 hiking & exploring

Count on camping almost all of the time. We'll iron out details for you later.

[Avis]

Cool, don't mean to pound you with questions just curious and trying to figure out if we can afford it.

[Skatchkins]

Figure on gas and don't think to hard about food since you'd eat even if you stayed home.
For me the biggest hit is that I am hourly pay with no vacation days. So I am saving to cover that week first.

Example Hike: A two night at Ice Lake Basin: http://www.aroundcolorado.com/trip_r...ake/index.html

Example Offroad: Up Black Bear Pass into Telluride coming down and most likely camping on Imogene Pass

Add me+1 to the interested list? I gotta check with my bro and have a couple other things to figure out.

So, does this mean I can carry it if it's NOT concealed? I would imagine so but it's rather confusing...

"What are Colorado's laws concerning firearms?

Colorado allows a person to carry a firearm in a vehicle, loaded or unloaded, if its use is for lawful protection of such person or another's person or property. [C.R.S. 18-12-105(2)] Colorado law also allows a person to possess a handgun in a dwelling, place of business, or automobile. However, you cannot carry the weapon concealed on or about your person while transporting it into your home, business, hotel room, etc. Local jurisdictions may not enact laws that restrict a person's ability to travel with a weapon. [C.R.S. 18-12-105.6] The Act permits the nationwide carrying of concealed handguns by qualified current and retired law enforcement officers and amends the Gun Control Act of 1968 (Pub. L. 90-618, 82 Stat. 1213) to exempt qualified current and retired law enforcement officers from state and local laws prohibiting the carry of concealed firearms."

Daniel - are you taking your truck or some sort of (girlfriend's) Jeep Product? If (and I'm fairly certain I'm going, just need to get the official OK) I end up going, I'm going to have to work out some sort of trailered option with the new heap. I would be paying gas if I drove it anyway, so the offer would be to pay the gas if someone can hook up a trailer and tow my butt up there. LOL
