non-boating question - we're going to be in Crested Butte MTBing next month and wondered what there was to do around Gunnison.

We're going on to Montrose, and would like to boat on Blue Mesa,if anyone knows of a rental company.thanks

Check out Schofield pass(Jeeping/hiking) Don't think Blue Mesa rents boat, not sure. Hit the marina right in the middle of the lake, Elk Creek.GAZ says there is live music there every Sat night. If you get a chance, head down to Ouray from Montrose, "Swiss Alps of the Rockys "

Weekend Warrior Outdoors at Elk Creek Marina rents pontoons and some fishing boats. Pappys at Elk Creek Marina does have music every Sat Night. When are you coming out ? Hey Tror when you coming up ? Did you get your high altitude prop?

Alright GAZ, this is the weekend. We are heading to Mesa on Sat afternoon, going to hang till Sun night. If your there, we"ll see ya! Lets have a couple of beers!!! The 22p bravo got me 50@ 9200' on Twin Lakes yesterday. Is that good? Im thinking bout 52 at Mesa, we'll see. Not too many people get to boat at 9200" and look at 14k' peaks!!! Btw, water was COLD!!! Keeps the 496ho cool though!:bunnydance:

Great to finally meet an OSO guy on the lake! Great time GAZ!!! Your stomping ground at Blue Mesa is a good time. Thanks for the hospitality! We are heading to Navajo for Labor day week, we should get as many OSO members down there as possible! !! If you haven't been to Navajo, you need to check it out. There are several 100+ mph boats there and plenty of coves to hang out in. Let's get this lake fired up with some power!!!

That was a Blast to get to meet you and Marcy ! Cheryl and I both enjoyed it. We have been wanting go down to Navajo and what better time. Cheryl has the time off so.....We talked and we are in for Navajo on Labor Day Weekend ! When are you guys thinking about going and coming back?

On another note I'm serious about both of us showing up at Twin Lakes. I think that would be hysterical. Let me know if you make plans for going there again.

Heard from Jeepin' friends this is a hairy road,not for newbies.

thanks, found them online. the pontoon sounds like it'll work. we'll be there the 27th through labor day.

This road used to be one of most "impassable" passes. With large consequences if you messed up. Over the last several years the clubs have made big improvements. I was up there a few weeks ago and I would say four wheel drive with good ground clearance is quite doable. It is still very intimidating.

We are heading there on Thursday the 30th. Probably come home sometime around the 4th or 5th. It will be a good time for sure GAZ!!! Looking forward to seeing y'all down there! As for Twin, I will let ya know, it would be fun seeing a couple performance boats chasing each other around on a pond at 9200' elevation!
