![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “PROWLIN’ THE COLORADO ROCKIES 2002” June 6th–10th, 2002 Welcome to “PROWLIN’ THE COLORADO ROCKIES 2002”. This exciting trip will provide a fantastic opportunity to experience spectacular sights and wild cruising with great people. We are planning sightseeing and cruising over the roadways of the majestic Colorado Rocky Mountains with other Prowler owners and friends from across the U.S. and Canada. Feel free to join our planned cruises or have fun exploring on your own. Please plan to join us on Sunday for the grand finale dinner and group picture. Most activities are free, but please be aware that there are a few park and entrance fees that will be the responsibility of each driver (more detailed info later). The cost for the event is $50.00, $31.00 for children under 9. For more details see the post for the event fee. Our event begins Thursday, June 6, 2002. The host hotel is The Westin, Westminster, Colorado located in the Westminster Promenade Complex at 104th Avenue and U.S. 36. This beautiful hotel has plenty of secure parking (our parking area is on the east side of hotel for those wanting to keep an eye on their cars). There are many outdoor restaurants and cafes in the immediate area. Please call The Westin Central Hotel reservations number at 800-937-8461 for reservations at the Prowler Owner Association group room rate of $99. Complete contact information for The Westin is: The Westin Westminster Preliminary Itinerary: Thursday, June 6th 2002 3:00 p.m. Check-in at The Westin Westminster Hotel, Friday, June 7th 2002 9:00 a.m. – Prowler Cruise: Grand Lake, Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Trail Ridge Road. The Rocky Mountain National Park offers great access to stunning Rocky Mountain scenery and hiking trails for walkers of all abilities. Lakes, meadows and forests are home to abundant wildlife. Covering the 48 miles between Estes Park on the park’s east side and Grand Lake on the west, Trail Ridge Road more than lives up to it’s advanced billing. Eleven miles of this highway travel above timberline, the elevation near 11,000 feet where the park’s evergreen forests come to a halt. As it winds across the tundra’s vastness to it’s high point at 12,183 feet elevation, Trail Ridge Road (U.S.34) offers visitors thrilling views, wildlife sightings and spectacular alpine wildflower exhibitions. Saturday, June 8th 2002 9:00 a. m. – Prowler Cruise: Mount Evans, Golden, Colorado. Mount Evans Scenic Byway is America’s highest paved automobile road. All 14 miles of the road from the entrance station to the Mount Evans summit parking area (14,130) are paved. From there, you can hike the last 130 feet (about ¼ mile walk) to the top at 14,264 feet. After you have made this climb, you can tell all your friends: “I climbed a 14,000 foot mountain in Colorado on my vacation!” After the trip to top of the mountain feel free to do some more exploring on your own or head on over to Golden with some of us for a car show. While in and near Golden, you may want to explore some other areas of interest including Buffalo Bill’s Gravesite and Museum and the Colorado Railroad Museum or take a tour of Coors Brewery. If you chose to display your Prowler or just want to check out the 300-400 cars, this weekend is the annual “Brag and Drag” car show on Main Street in Golden. We have arranged for a special area for the Prowlers and admission is $10.00 in advance (more details under event fee post). As there are no organized plans for dinner, you may want to stay in Golden and visit their great restaurants and shops. Your ride home is an easy 20 minutes to The Westin from Golden. Sunday, June 9th 2002 Prowler Cruise A: The Rocky Mountain High Cruise (Departure time to be determined) heading southwest on Hwy 285 to Salida and on to Royal Gorge, Canyon City and back to Colorado Springs & the Flying “W” Ranch for a western dinner and show. The elevation of the Salida, Colorado area ranges from just under 7,000 to over 14,000 feet on its highest peaks, providing some of the most spectacular views to be seen anywhere in the world. In fact, Chaffee County where Salida, Colorado resides has more mountain peaks of 14,000-foot or more than any other county in Colorado. We’ll cross the Royal Gorge Bridge (the world’s highest suspension bridge). We can walk or drive the quarter-mile bridge that spans the gorge 1,053 feet above the Arkansas River. Other attractions at the park include an aerial tram and the world’s steepest incline railway. Another (optional) attraction or side trip that may be of interest to some would be to ride the Royal Gorge Route and experience a two-hour train ride journey through the heart of the Royal Gorge, over the famous “Hanging Bridge,” and along the Arkansas River. The boarding area is in Canyon City. We’ll travel through Canyon City on the way to Colorado Springs and the Flying “W” Ranch. Tour “B” The Colorado Springs Pikes Peak Cruise & Tour 8:30 a. m, - Cruising south on I-25 toward Colorado Springs we’ll drive through the United States Air Force Academy. From the Academy, we’ll travel to Manitou Springs and the Pikes Peak Cog Railway. This is the World’s highest cog railway. Since 1891 this railway has taken millions of passengers to top of Pikes Peak (14,110 feet). You’ll be able to relax, enjoy the views, watch the wildlife and share some good times with your Prowler friends. We have to arrive at the depot by 11:15 am and will be taking the noon train. The trip takes 3 hours and 10 minutes (this provides 30 to 40 minutes on the summit). The group rate for the Pikes Peak Cog Railway is $23.00 for adults & $13.00 for children (3 to 11). A box lunch is available for $7.50. We have tentative reservation made and are required to pay 10 days in advance. We will let you know the date payment is required as we get closer to the event departure time. The Colorado Springs area has many other attractions. There will be the opportunity to make other side mini cruises or trips including Pikes Peak (drive or take the Pikes Peak Cog Railway (reservations needed), Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Seven Falls, Garden of Gods, North Pole – Santa’s Workshop, Cave of the Winds, the United States Air Force Academy and U.S. Olympic Training Center. In addition the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and the Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb Museum are located in the area. After the return from the Mountain, we’ll cruise through the Garden of Gods and stop at the Garden of Gods Trading Post (Colorado’s largest gift shop). From there we’ll cruise on over to the Flying “W” Ranch. 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. – Arrival for Dinner at the Flying “W” Ranch Please be on hand to be part of the group photo and browse through the old western town. At 7:15 p.m. have a BBQ beef or chicken dinner (plus all the fixins) and then sit back and enjoy a western stage show featuring the Flying “W” Wranglers music and cowboy humor. (Dinner and show will be included in the Event Registration fees to be announced later.) After the show we’ll have about an hour drive back to Westminster. Monday, June 10th 2002 11 a.m. - Hotel checkout For those arriving early… Some of us are going to the Bandimere dragstrip www.bandimere.com Wednesday night (June 5, 2002) for some racing. The track is open from 4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. for Test-and-Tune night. The cost is approximately $25.00 to race and $15.00 for general admission. (last year if you wanted to be a passenger on the track you had to pay the racing price and sign the waiver form). I suggest we all gather earlier and get to the track by 3:30 p.m. as it can get crowded. We will be able to set up in the parking lot at the back of the staging lanes. For those that don't want to race, you can go to trackside and watch the races or move around in the staging area. The track is 25 miles from The Westin hotel (all highway) and is located in Morrison, Colorado ( www.town.morrison.co.us/ ), one mile from Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater, a must see!

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A/C, Jack called me this evening. I invited him to Detroit Friday but he has previous committments. I told him that you gave me his address and phone number. He said, "WHO". lol. He is definitely planning on coming to Louisville in May and hopes to make Colo in June. I gave him a few inside tips on packing and shipping clothes. I didn't mention you never change underwear, as a third alternative. He just got a laptop computer and hopes to be able to turn it on by the Spring. I told him to call me for computer help, also. lol. Thanks for posting his address. I had lost it. ------------------ |
