Yes, definitely. I am planning a full week and half to two weeks for this, so I will plan accordingly. I am going to Arizona after the meet for a few days too.
My list of my cars/toys (or toys at my disposal!)

1985 AMC Eagle Sportwagon
2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 4Matic
1993 Mercedes-Benz 500SL
2016 Triumph Bonneville
 1962 Cruisers Inc Mahogany Outboard

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

Any of you planning to come in from out of state, make sure you arrive at least a day early to make sure you have lots of time to see the Rambler Ranch.  The couple of hours allocated on Saturday morning aren't enough to take it all in.
Maybe even a couple days early, so you can do some sight seeing. If weather is good,  the Peak to Peak scenic byway, a ride up Pike's Peak or Mount Evan's is a great way to spend a day. Unfotunatey, I can't plan that far ahead, but really want to make it. Rob(AMC1320) and I have briefly talked about driving out there for the meet.

I'll definitely get in touch with some of you who know that area better so I can do the same. I'll be bringing camping supplies (whether or not I actually camp is left to be said)

If you guys go this year the Missouri/Kansas guys could join the convoy on your way through.

812 for me. That's to the Eagle Motel. It's nearly a straight shot West from here. I'll go about 2 hours north to I-70 which takes me all the way there! Sure hope I can make it!

If I have the money for the trip and my Eagle is running well enough, I'll try to make it.

you did? I can't find it. you said you plan on going, but I don't see any answers.  that picture sums it up pretty good though.  Was it just some motel you found or does it actually have something to do with something?

The Motel is literally called the Eagle Motel. It's just a convenient place to meet! :)

This is part of the activities that go with the Rambler Ranch Eagle Meet. We cruise from the Rambler Ranch stop for Lunch along the way and everyone spends the night at the Eagle Motel in Manatou Springs. This photo is from the 2012 meet. If you click on the image you can see a slide show of that event. Its way cool to see a bunch of Eagles soaring down the road all at one time.

I wish this were mine!

Thought I could IMG code the photo I was talking about, but it didn't work. Here is the link.
