It appears that we have the beginnings of a Patrol ralley. As it currently stands we intend to make the highest documented North American ascent by a 60 Series Patrol. So far we have an intrepid crew of three that have volunteered for this task. There will be at least two Patrols in the line. Worst case we will need some support crew, just in case we need to roll a stranded Patrol off to the side of the road or extract bodies from a deep ravine. The meeting location is Lake City, Colorado. Proposed time is around Labor Day. The route will follow the infamous Alpine loop. The treacherous trial has claimed many lives (of course that was back in the 1800's). Nowadays it is a very popular back country drive that has a rated difficulty of "easy". I have done in it two wheel drive and several times in anything from a full size crew cab to a Jeep. If you have fear of heights, this is a good place to work that out because the trail is pretty safe and the views are beyond stunning. Rain is our only concern. This trip gives you the opportunity to visit several historic towns and ghost towns. There are many other side trips that can be had from here is well.
The group leader and host for this event is L60Boerne (aka, David). So far this trip is considered a "near solid go". Since I live here I am definitely going.
