Great! This gives me a plan. I'll probably leave Akron on the 7th to get there on the 10th. Still a long ways away. Hopefully some of the people in the KC/Iowa area will be going so we can caravan....that is a long drive by myself in my rickity 30 year old car...but heck, we'll be fine  8)
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....

I am planning to have t-shirts made with original Eagle ads printed on the back of the shirt. If you are interested in buying a shirt I need the size and model you want on the shirt. I have original ads for wagons, SX 4's, Kammback, Coupe and 4 door sedans. I do not know the price yet but it will be very reasonable.

I will also have calendars made with pictures of previous Eagle Motel trips. If anyone is interested I need to get a count to to figure the price.


I also need to get a head count for the tour we will be going on and the catered lunch. So please let me know if you are coming and how many are coming with you.
Thanks, Terry

In case the Eagle Motel fills up and/or you may wish to camp, there may be a camping option nearby. A friend of mine's girlfriend's family owns the Golden Eagle Campground that isn't too far from the Eagle Motel. About 15 miles away. They usually close September 30th, but if there is enough interest, she said they may open for a few days to accommodate us. Just a note, Colorado weather can be on either ends of the spectrum in October. It could be beautiful fall weather or a snow storm. When we get closer to the date, I'll see how many are interested. http://goldeneaglecampground.blogspot.com/

Cool! Good to know Rick.

Me and Andrea are currently in Utah and our contract with Aramark is supposed to end on October 29th. I might see if we can just leave early so I can make the trip on our way back to Missouri. I sure hope I can make it! Unfortunately it wouldn't be in the Eagle since it's back in Missouri.

Ugh. After all this planning, my job will not give me two weeks off in a row. I may still try to take the week and fly into there and rent a car, but it is up in the air again. Not happy, but I sorta get it...there are only four of us in MB sales here.  :-\

Mick!  Are you caravaning out with anyone?  Maybe I can hitch a wagon on with you guys.  I am going to try to make it. 

Probably in the 79 AMX rather than the Kammster... but will try!

I've had a busy summer and totally forgot about this. Count my whole family in (4 of us). I have been trying to recruit drivers but nobody I've talked to has shown any interest.

Do you still need drivers, Terry?
