This trip was formerly called the SW Colorado Off Road Adventure. But the guys pushed for a new name and 4CORE (4 Corners Off Road Event) was born.

This years trip will start in Silverton, Co. Friday nights camp out will be on FR585, South Mineral Creek rd. There is dispersed camping along the road and we’ll pick a spot that’s large enough for the group. Saturday we’ll head north on HWY 550 north over Red Mountain Pass and descend into Ouray. We’ll continue through Ouray to Ridgway. From Ridgway we’ll Head west on FR858 to Owl Creek Pass. We’ll cross the pass and camp along the road near Silver Jack Reservoir on Saturday night. Sunday we’ll continue north on 858 to HWY 50 and head west to CR 887, Alpine Plateau Rd. We’ll take CR 887 south to HWY 149 and head south to Lake City. We’ll break off at Lake City and head our separate ways.

This trip is open to all VW buses or Vanagons stock height or higher, Baja bugs and any other street legal Vw that can handle off roading. This is a fun family event, so bring your kids and dogs (good dogs only please). It's all about the fun!

Dates: 7/26 - 7/28
Location: FR585 (South Mineral Creek Rd)
Weather: might be sunny, might rain, might hale, might snow, be prepared!
Final departure: 9am Sat
Any changes, even minor ones, will be posted

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Rich P.

Hey Rischparker-
I live in Ouray. I drive a '78 DC and also happen to own the distillery here in town. If you guys want/need a breakfast/lunch stop let me know!

I can coordinate a food truck buddy of mine to provide food for the stop and also have tools for folks as needed! I'll try and plan to join you guys, but it's the busy season!!

Cheers,
John

Another John with a '78 DC, here. Now that the truck is back on the road, we might actually make it on this trip! Smile

Awesome!!! I’m on vacation that week and planning on camping on Sunday night and probably Monday night too. We are also planning on going to Rhythms on the Rio the following weekend. Bailey is applying for a vending booth and I want to help with bus camp.

Gonna be a dope 10 days off work!!! VW Logo

Have been wanting to do this for a while, think we'll give it a go this year. May have to split after Ouray if we bring the Loaf...we'll see.

Hi everyone! I added the event in two groups to try to spread the word.

SouthWesty (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2064970426933325/)

Buses on the Rio: VW Bus Camp (https://www.facebook.com/groups/2268899516674256/)

I made SouthWesty for VW people in Southwest CO, Four Corners, etc. so we can get information about events and have caravans.

Please join the groups if you're interested and check out the Events! Also feel free to share the events and also let me know about any other events so I can add them.

Smile

Happy to see you local Vanagon guys chime in and show interest. Pretty sure I met owokie last summer near Test Tracks, don’t think I know rbrock.

Don’t think I’m gonna have the ‘71 done this summer, it is currently completely covered it snow. So, I’ll most likely be in the ‘68.

Hey John, I sent you a PM about possibly stopping by your place Saturday morning.

I sold my bus and I’m not 100% sure if my new bus will be finished in time for the event. If it’s not done it won’t be from a lack of trying. I ordered just about every part I need for it today. If the bus is not done I think I’ll be able to borrow one for the event, so I’m covered there.

I sent John in Ouray a text last week, he said he’d get back to me with some options but I haven’t heard back from him yet. I’ll contact him again in a week or so but I’m hoping for a tour of the distillery and maybe a breakfast truck. Ouray is small, I figure we can hang out there for an hour or two there doing the tourist thing.

Here’s a pic of Peryl, the ‘71 patina wagon.

We had this penciled in on the calendar but as luck would have it we are able to turn that pencil to pen...!

Looking forward to hanging out again! See you in 2ish months!

New Bus looks great! Good luck with it!

Peryl went to the shop today! I’ve spent countless hours on it already and still hoping to have her done by the event. Transaxle is done and the engine is 90% complete. Still lots to do, but things are moving along.
