Rocky Mountain Avant GTG/Drive
The plan is to meet in the El Rancho parking lot at between 10:30AM and 10:45AM to LEAVE at 11:00AM SHARP on July 21.
Note: There are gas stations, chain restaurants, and a Wal-Mart near El Rancho if you need to get anything (Gas, food, other supplies) before the drive.
We will be driving to Echo Lake via Evergreen Parkway and then turning onto Highway 103(Squaw Pass Road). According to Mapquest, the drive is about 40 minutes each way.
When we arrive at Echo Lake, we will spend some time to take photos(of the cars and scenery) talk with your fellow avant owners, and eat; so pack a lunch or plan to dine at the Echo Lake Lodge.
*Exact time to be determined while while we are up there! We will see how long we want to stay once we are there.*
What to bring:
-A camera.
-Water.
-A light jacket, it might be cool at 10600 feet.
-Lunch if you plan on eating at Echo Lake, or money if you plan to eat lunch at the Echo Lake Lodge.
-Your Avant! (preferably with a full tank of gas)
-A positive attitude!
-Anything else that you can fit in your Avant that you think might be useful.
How To Get To The El Rancho Restaurant From Denver
Take I-70 WEST to Exit 252. At the stop light, turn right, and then take an almost immediate left into the parking lot.
El Rancho's Address:
29260 US Hwy 40
Golden, CO 80401
Note: Always obey all traffic laws and posted traffic signs.

I don't know if this is more regional or more avant related, so I posted in both because some people might not check the Avant Forums and some might not check the Rocky Mountain Forums.
I am trying to work out an all avant GTG/Photoshoot here in Denver. If you have any ideas on where it should be, or a date, PLEASE throw it out in the open because we are just in the planning stages yet and have nothing planned for it yet.
I just thought it would be really cool to have an avant only GTG. The producers of "Studded" movie plan to be in attendance to do some filming of it, which will be awesome.
So post up if you are interested and/or have some ideas for it!
Cheers!
