Off to Colorado


The guys left out for Colorado at 6PM Monday evening.They were in 2 king cab trucks with 3 guys to a truck. They make a bed in the back seat of each truck and as they rotate drivers the one who just drove sleeps. Jay, Bobby and Kevin were pulling our Cargo trailer with a load in it. They were exactly 1 hour on the road when the water pump went out on Kevin's truck which in turn caused other mechanical problems. I found a Chevy dealer for them and called a towing service. They transferred everything in Kevin's truck to the trailer except for overnight bags and hooked the trailer to the other truck. Bobby got in with them and they went ahead. The tow truck took Jay and Kevin to a motel. A friend offered the use of his truck so Amy and I prepared to deliver it pending on what the diagnosis was on Kevin's truck. We ended up leaving the next morning with the loaner truck. Kevin's truck couldn't be fixed for days. This threw Jay and Kevin about 16 hours behind without the 3rd driver. They drove to Kansas City, got a motel room and slept about 5 hours and then drove the rest of the way in. The first crew decided that since they had 4 drivers they would drive straight thru (25 hours). Jay said it was kinda nice having everything set up at camp when they arrived. He called last night. They have to take a 4-wheeler up above camp to get a signal to call. He called again this morning. He said it was a little chilly but sunny. They are expecting a storm and snow so hunting should be good. Please say a prayer that they have a safe hunt and a safe trip back. They won't be back until the 25th.
