So this trip report is coming up a year overdue. Last year we had an opportunity to meet back up with our friends at Adventure Travel Sports Rentals based in Golden, CO for another family trip in the rental Sportsmobile. We took a similar trip back in 2015 and fell in love with this van so we knew we would be back at some point for another trip. We had paid and planned to attend OXE-16 with our brand new bed rack and RTT setup on the Dodge but after my grandmother's passing/funeral we had to bail on that part of our fall break. Thankfully the OX folks understood our circumstances and allowed us to transfer our credit to a '17 event. Everything just sort of came together and after booking some plane tickets we began making plans to attend our first OXW event.
The plan was to fly to Denver and pick up the van and make our way to Flagstaff over a 3 day period all while camping dispersed and seeing all we could see. We would spend 3 days at OXW-17 and then make our way back to Denver for our return flight home. It was a whirlwind trip but we had a lot of fun and have a whole new list of thing we want to go back to.
What follows is the trip report I started last year once we returned home. I wrote the first half of the report and forgot to finish it. For anyone who's written one of these knows how much can go into doing one. Please bear with me as I post the old write up and get pictures where they belong and as I write the second half of the trip a year after we finished it.
...and the journey begins...
